Dating
Ack! What's up with *these* men?!!

Text Messages I've received:
8/12 from S - Dinner 8/22. Your choice. (I didn't answer)
8/29 from S - How ya been? (Again, I didn't answer)
9/1 from B - Smile babe (can't repeat the rest, TMI -- I haven't spoken to or texted him in YEARS!!!)
9/3 from S - Why you don't respond 2 my texts? (Well, duh...)
9/5 from B - I miss you, honestly (Geeze, after 4 years and he still misses me?)
9/6 from S - Picture message of a praying mantis @ his workplace. (Why would I care about that?)
9/7 from B - I'm just looking for someway to tell you how good it felt to hold you (Ack!)
9/15 from S - Wanna get food Thurs? (Uh, no)
9/18 from S - Wanna go for a bike ride? (No, I have to study)
9/18 from S - Study on a Friday night? Lame. (Grr!)
9/20 from B - Various VM and texts (I am SO glad he lives far away and doesn't know where I moved to!)

I don't dare text anything to B, otherwise he'd take that as a sign I'm interested. Been down that road MANY times. How many times is S going to ask if I wanna have dinner before he figures out the answer is "No!" Yikes... are they really that clueless?!

NOTE: For anyone not familiar with these guys... They are EX's (one from a year ago, and the other from at least 4 years ago)... The past just doesn't die. LOL


Stitchy Stuff




Last week Petra had a giveaway on her blog, which I was one of the lucky winners. In Tuesday's mail, I received a thoughtful card along with this -->

There are some really cute charts in it. Thanks again, Petra!



After finishing my breast cancer piece in the last post, I started my September Christmas Ornie SAL. I'm doing the Snow Poem Tree with Anchor 1345. Talk about frustrating! That floss knots up quicker than a head of hair rolling around in a haystack. (Boy am I glad I didn't invest in this line of floss) Yes, yes... I know.... I could use Thread Heaven. I do have some and I might try it. So far, I have the bottom row of the tree done. I decided to do the poem itself in a solid color DMC that matches the varigated Anchor. The "ornie" will probably end up being a flatfold since it's a tad big for an ornament. Then again, it would make a pretty doorhanger. Decisions, decisions...

5 hours of stitching

Addicting
You know how it is when you get a new toy... You *have* to play with it. After watching a couple videos and YouTube about the crop-a-dile, I set about the house looking for things to punch holes in. LOL Here's a belt I have (notice the two holes on the left side that I punched using a nail? Cute, eh?)


I re-punched the holes on the left and put eyelets in all of them. Doesn't it look SO much better? It took all of 3 minutes, maybe.




School
I spent most of the weekend reading, taking notes, and studying my chapters for the first test in Principles of Management on Wed. Ack! The first test is always nerve-racking... who am I kidding? They're *all* nerve-wracking. The first is the worst, though. My saving grace is the instructor is the same one I had for B-Law II so I know his style, which means study for EVERYTHING.
