A mirade of things…

First off…*hugs to Raya*  Just wanted to let you know I’m thinking about you.

Secondly…I wanted to say Thank you for all of those who have endeared my rants about the pet. Even if you don’t know what to say, just knowing that you’re there, and listening to my insanity, and whining, and what not.  And for any of you out there who have wondered or wanted to say….’What about counsoling’ or something similar.  Been there, done that…Quite obviously, it didn’t work.  Things got a little better, for a little while, but then they went back down hill, and to worse. 
Thing is…I don’t understand how he can’t see something is wrong…And as far as I can tell, he seems to think everything is just peachy. *shrugs* He gets to go off and do his own thing…which is who knows what, with who knows who.  And I’ve just given up giving a damn, unless it is a point of irratation…Like when he’s home and all he does is sit on his arse, and expect the Critters to act as little slaves, and fetch whatever it is he wants. The fact that he doesn’t care if anyone else has plans to use the tv to watch something at any point. He’ll put in movies and hog the bloody thing if he’s here all day. And of course the promises to the Critters that hardly ever come to fruitation. (I mean Sonja is still waiting to go fishing from…umm….at least 3 if not 4 years ago.)

On another front…Aside from figuring out how I’m going to close it, my silver shirt is done. I started 2 tank tops today…the one is done, save for the straps…and no longer resemebles the picture from the pattern. *shrugs* But it stil turned out pretty cool…it’s yellow. (It would be done, but I forgot I used the yellow ribbon the the bodice for my Mum’s costume…so I need to get some more.)  The other one is the same colour as the dress I’m wearing to the Fireman’s Banquet in May. I still have a bit of sewing left to do on that one…I’m suppose to be making a thicker type strap for that one, using the pattern…but I might decide against it, depending on how it looks like it’s turning out.
On the bodice/corset I stared yesterday, I decided to forgo the lacing in the front, and instead, once I manage to brave my closet, and (hopefully) find my pearls, I’m going to sew them down the front lines at least.
I also started another bodice/corset…It’s a shimery kind of red material…I’m going to get some black and run it down the outside where the seams are…I actually got the idea from the one picture on MorpheanAmulet‘s one entry, I’ve got to get a new…*headdesk* the technical terms are slipping my mind…anyway…I need to get a new set of things to make the holes that do the lacing up. Eyelets! Yes…those things…I need to get the stuff to put eyelets on things again.
*tries to think if there are anymore in the works*   I think that covers it, for the moment…I’ve got two skirt patterns sitting off to the side, though I’m not sure I have enough of any one material at this point…although perhaps the shimery red stuff.  (And a blue camo…but that I got to make something for Mum…which reminds me…I do have her shirt in the works as well.)

Well…My Jeep is down off the hoist. Yay! But it’s not all betters yet. I guess it has a leak somewhere having to do with the breaks. Grant (the mechanic) filled up the brake fluid, and after pumping the breaks it starts to disappear. So he’s got to figure out where it’s going, and he’s suppose to call Mum back tomarrow. He also told her he’s not going to charge us more than what he’s already quoted. So that’s good…I need to transfer the money from the savings and get the house payment mailed out (as it was due today).

My computer phoneline has been acting up for the past few days. Sunday it didn’t have a dial tone at all, all day.  Monday it was fine. Tuesday it worked in the morning, then that night it would dial, but wouldn’t connect to the remote computer…yet I could run the line to the other phoneline, and all was fine. This morning it worked, then didn’t have a dial tone, and now it’s working again. *shrugs* I don’t know…I think it’s out to drive me mental.

Which reminds me…and I can’t believe I got this far down before remebering to say something about it….*pokes OD with a stick*   First off…Yeah, I know change is good and what not. Blah…Personally, I’m not liking. The front page just doesn’t seem as friendly to me…it looks like just a varation on every other ‘blogging’ site out there.  *shrugs* My thought anyway.
And…Ahhhhhh! I want my bloody drop down menus back! Those are what I used, all the time!  I use to sign in, go to my favorites with one window…and latest entry with another window (Yes, when I’m on OD I have at least 2 windows open, and if I’m reading and noting others, I have several windows open). 

I think that’s about it for the night…*wanders off* I so need a nap…then again, what’s new. *laughs*
