A whole lot of nothing

This is why I will never be a super popular blogger, I’m too inconsistent. I didn’t do any sewing last week other than pull a pattern out of the envelope and do some measuring to decide what size to trace and where I should grade from one size to the other. (Vogue 8379) I was going to sew on Friday but I had to change my plans.

I drove Sarah to Michigan Friday afternoon for a College Scholarship competition at Grand Valley on Saturday. We had planned to leave after school but a winter storm was forecast and we took the prudent course and left at noon. Good choice. Driving home on Saturday afternoon we went over some still snow-covered roads.

I was going to sew yesterday but I ended up spending the entire day in my pajamas on the living room couch. I alternated between reading my Kindle, watching TV and crocheting. There was also some napping interspersed throughout the day as well. I had a headache from a combination of driving in crappy weather (muscle tension) and having friends over the night before (brew flu).

Watched the Grammy Awards last night. Don’t have much to say regarding the Whitney Houston tragedy. To be honest, I was never a fan. For a few years I was actually an anti-fan, she drove me crazy. I appreciate her talent and that a lot of people idolized her and loved her music, it just wasn’t my style. Plus I had a roommate in college, freshman year that played that first album on a continuous loop for an entire term. It was torture to my Cure/Smiths/REM loving ears, I wanted to throw that tape deck through a window. I even slept in the elevator lobby one night because I couldn’t take it any longer.

I work 5 out of 6 days this week so I won’t be doing much if any sewing at home this week either. Plus our tax appointment is right around the corner so I have to get my books done for that because of course I put it off again for most of the year. I have lesson plans for my upcoming jeans class to write as well as class descriptions for a couple other classes.

What’s on your agenda for this mid-winter week? How are those bathing suits coming along? I had a post all planned for the Sew-Along but I didn’t get the photos taken on Friday as planned. Hopefully I’ll get a chance some afternoon this week.
