- When your husband says, "you should sew this weekend" you have to wonder.
- Little bossy lately?
- Too long a story about the meeting at work?
- A clever man's rephrasing of slow down kiddo.
- I'll take it.
- Working on sleeves this weekend for my last Burdastyle seminar of the year
- Interesting conversation with an old sewing buddy
- He said "I don't so much want to wear it as figure out how to make it"
- Some of that in us all
- New glasses again, now a pink, clear, purple and blue
- I love accessories and these count
- Those discount boys send things out fast
- Did ten bags of leaves this week
- About 10%
- I love trees
- Had a room built on the side of the house at an angle to go around a tree
- The only one I can climb
- Or could
- Folks sit in the living room and say "Is it me or is your hallway crooked?"
- I tell them about the tree
- What I don't say is that the Chinese say if you cut down a tree someone dies
- That's what someone told my mother
- I am taking no chances
- What do you think of the new Vogues?
- I am speechless
- Used it all up at the meeting
- They got a case of the depressions down at BMV?
- Even for Hallowe'en it wasn't funny
- May do a review just for sport
- That Stylearc is looking better by the minute
- I got hit with the domestics last weekend and made four pans of lasagne for the freezer
- How long does that stuff keep in the freezer?
- Ate it all week and now don't want to see it again for another decade
- Come by and I will give you some
- I will meet you on the curb
- Went trick or treating with the girls and family last night
- At one house the man asked if he could borrow my witch's hat to wear to work
- He is a church organist
- Not sure what denomination
- Left it with him
- Played dentist with the girls when I sat them today
- Miss Scarlett looked at my molars and said "when I grow up I am going to get a gold tooth too."
- We both like to accessorize
- Never too young to start
- "At the front"
- Maybe wrong about that
