Moving Right Along

The projection equipment is back where it belongs.

The digital tapes of the wedding have been delivered into the hands of the professionals at Videobrite for transferring onto dvd. I never did successfully negiotiate that learning curve. Plus I have neither a firewire port nor a firewire cable, which apparently are absolutely, positively required for getting digital tape images into my computer. And even if I did have that stuff, I don't have the time--the camera doesn't belong to us and its owners want it back.

I've been downright woozy with post-wedding traumatic syndrome. I took the day off work and slept awhile, then I did some grocery shopping (peanut butter cups, frosted animal cookies, chocolate-covered preztels, diet pepsi, bread, tomatoes and a copy of People--I'm good for the week!) Got some laundry done & am slowly putting things back where they belong. My sink is truly shiny for the first time in at least 2 weeks. A shiny sink is a fresh start.

Patternreview message board has some dicussions about different ways of storing fabric and projects & notions. Now, in addition to organizing my bedroom closet, I also want to organize my fabric, patterns, thread, etc., etc., etc. Flylady to the rescue! It's bedroom week, not hall closet (fabric storage area) or dining area (sewing corner) week, so I know where to spend my energy! The time will come to deal with my sewing things. As I get inspired about what neat organizing totes, dividers and boxes I need for the sewing I'll add them to my wishlist, but that's all until Flylady says it's time.

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
