BACK ON THE JOB

Just when I thought it was safe to sew my new design for the Bridal collection - the cell phone burped ( a no ring sound). I don't answer. Then the house phone rings - I ignore that one too. Checked the messages later that day. That was last Monday - a week ago. The message was from a not number I didn't recognize, hence why it did not ring on my cell phone. But there were two messages from the (INSERT HORROR MUSIC HERE) Census Bureau!

I swore to call them back the next day -- if they called me again.

The next day came. I breezed through the 8 o'clock hour, and just about half past the 9 o'clock hour that burp sound again. I did not answer it, I may seem anti-social by now to you, but I'm not. I was honestly trying to work on l'Amore Intimo. Then the house phone, and I thought it was time to confront the inevitable - I answered. To make this long story short...I'm back. I knew I should have sewn quicker. It's full time and in the office, not the scary trails like before. Maybe it won't be adventures in canvassing, but it will be adventures in something since I have two collections for l'Amore Intimo to debut by November.

Oh well. I consider this a blessing none the less.

Ciao Y'all.

The Day After Dodgertown

Today it's a hazy, cloudy day, a sit and watch "Project Runway" season 5 marathon because you have 50 million projects of your own to do and can't see past cutting out the design - kind of day.

But last night...
ROCKED!

Baseball does matter! My favorite little leaguer and I made ourselves comfy in Dodgertown last night! He had a Dodger Dog. I had nachos and garlic fries. We had cotton candy and peanuts and lemonade and a great time! Russell Martin hit a grand slammy just as I was taking a picture of the field. I think I got it. Cool. The Dodgers beat the Cubs, 7 to 2. Those are the best days ever.

Now back to "Project Runway" - I could so win this show - and completing the designs I'm working on.

Ciao Y'all

A Day After Gregorysms Day

This one can't go untold, because it had our whole table laughing out loud in BJ's.

As Gregory - the constantly finished off one - was sitting quietly listening while his sister Kelli was running her mouth about this new guy, then said something about taking a day off from communicating with the guy - Gregory remarked out of nowhere

"Whoa - I just got dizzy from the amount of ignorance from this table."

Since everyone knew he was referring to his sister, who he loves dearly - it was quite funny. What can you say? He's Greg. He checked into his new school today. Cal State LA. He's a hard hard worker, and smart too.

My birthday was special yesterday.

Ciao Y'all

Summer Ending Too Soon

As I posted on the wall of my Facebook, I am not thoroughly sure this is the most wonderful time for the year. I kind of like summer, and appreciate it a lot more now that my favorite little leaguer is headed back to school and won't be home to thread that dang serger for me. That machine is el diablo sometimes. I took for granted during the years of home school how much I would miss him when he was in school.

School sucks. Okay not really, but if the truth be know, I'd rather have my kid home with me enjoying the short childhood years. But I will herald him back to school on this Thursday and work hard while he is away so the hours will swiftly pass. I will champion him to embrace his elective - not art this semester. I will enjoy every moment of my time spent with him. Every parent should be able to say these things.

Enjoy life. Embrace love. Capture moments.
