As in, it's a miracle that I haven't been locked up in an asylum yet.

Yesterday afternoon I was ~~putting off writing up the grad committee meeting minutes~~ taking a break and decided to scroll through old photos on the Viva Las Vegas website and all the pretty girls in their sexy dresses made me realize that damn, I don't want to spend another VLV in jeans and overalls. So dear maude help me, I've decided to make some dresses. Yeah, our flight leaves Wednesday morning. What's the problem?

Here are the dresses:
McCall's 4444
McCall's 4301
McCall's 3584

Wish me luck!!!

Also, just got the fantastic news that it's going to cost over $1,000 to fix

0verdrive's car so it looks like we're in the market for a new vehicle. Joy!

FYI - Hobby lobby has some brand on sale for $1.99 a pattern

Good luck with the sewing frenzy, and the car shopping

Oh those are nice. The first one is the dress I made yesterday- such a nice pattern, and it will look grrreat on you!

And yeah, seems the car shopping is spreading...

You can do it - it's probably not in your schedule, but I used to ROCK the all-nighters, sewing dresses in one sitting, back when I was in college. Just keep motivated. I'll send my juju your way!

I'm getting a new car the end of April. I'm going to start looking around this Sunday. Have you guys started looking?

Dean picked up a Kansas City Star. Does that count?

It's a start!

Let me know if you two want to go troll car lots. Or, even better, let me know if you want me to take Dean to troll car lots while you sew!

Unfortunately, we won't be doing much trolling this weekend since his sister is getting married on Saturday, and Sunday will probably be Wilson Stuff since the long distance sister will still be in town. And next weekend we're out of town.

But if you're still car shopping the weekend after that (April 17-18), I think it would be great to go shopping in a small herd. We can defend ourselves against the ~~rabid hyenas~~ salesmen better that way.

WTF? I just typed my name in that box and it called me Baka (stupid).

Good luck with the dresses. I'm sure your'll look gooooooood.....

Try it without the underscores (just "mac") and you get Kuroi (black). At least that's more interesting. Maybe they're confused and you were supposed to get _mac_ = Brilliant or mac = Red.

Yeah, or maybe the japanese are just speaking old school like "stupid, dope, funky, fresh". I'm sure thats probably it. :P

Car... dead? Nooooo!

And good luck with that sewing. Yowza.

Not dead yet, just dying. =b

Thanks for the well-wishes. Eeek!
