Mark today as a loss

[clevermanka]

I am at home today because I feel like ass from my eyeballs to my hips.

I need to get some food because our refrigerator is bare. I don't imagine I'll manage to muster the energy to do so. I suspect we'll have scrambled eggs for dinner.

After reading the PāNu post that adammaker linked today, I've decided I'm not waiting until August to give up artificial sweeteners. I'm giving them up today.

*pause for applause*

I think/hope that this will help with the doughnut cravings. Dear god please let it help with the doughnut cravings.

Last night, I was distressed to discover I've lost my perfect shift dress pattern. The one I made three times until I got a perfect muslin that was adjusted for all my figure idiosyncracies. It doesn't look like the pattern is still in print, either. Much sadness. I could make a pattern off the dress I still have, but I don't remember how to sew the armhole/neckline facing. I remember there was something weird about it, but I can't figure it out from looking at the garment itself. It's been too long. I might go to the fabric store (but not today!), see if there is a similarly constructed dress pattern, and buy it for just the instructions.

Why in the world would a pattern company discontinue a princess-seamed shift dress? Seems like it would be a nice basic wardrobe staple to keep in the lineup. I guess my idea of "wardrobe staple" differs from that of the Big Three. Hmph.

Yesterday I figured out how to keep the hoop up. I'm keeping it up more than 50% of the time now. Someone else needs to make the dirty joke on that, because I just don't have the energy.

I'm about to leave my house. If you would like anything, I can pick up some stuff for you while I'm out. You can give me a call.

Aw. Lemme think about it. Right now the only things I can think of that I really want involve turning on the oven (mmmmm KALE CHIPS). But since mckitterick is home, that's off limits. I don't want to have to deal with hearing "Are you baking something? U R HEATIN' UP DA HOOOUUSSSEEE!"

*sigh* Can't sneak anything past that guy.

In my world, getting to have scrambled eggs for dinner is a TREAT. :)

Thank you!

If I wind up having eggy-weggs for dinner, I'll think of you and try to appreciate them. =)

Yanno, I might make fancy omelets for dinner here tonight. We've got some onion to use up. Hrm.
