ET.  Yup ET.  There was a branch outside my window that looked strangely like ET's finger.  It would tap, tap, tap all night and I thought he wanted to use my phone to "phone home" .  Also I was afraid of clowns, I still kind of am....

I know I have been MIA for a while.  Sorry.... I have been working on our new website and have had little time for sewing.  I now have a serious urge to make something!

( So I went fabric shopping and now I need some help )

Hey Friends, Happy Halloween!!!!

What's the scariest book you ever read? 

Check out our new blog Robots and Vamps where we discuss that very question.

Hope you all have a save and chocolate-y Halloween!  

Can I just say that I love the "undead journal".  too cool.

So when I finished reading the twilight books, I immediately delved into the Southern Vampire mysteries by Charlaine Harris. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these books.  I read all 8 in about 1 week.  They are short (about 300 pages each), fun and full of supernatural creatures, including Vampires. YAY.  The HBO show True blood coming on Sept 7 is based on these books.  skyeeblu- I know you don't want to watch the show for other reasons, but you may like the books.  Anyway, just wanted to pass on this series to my vampire lovin' friends. :) Enjoy.

I know, hard to believe. I actually finished my Pirate bodice version 1.0 this weekend.  

House cleaning sucks!

I went to my local borders midnight release of Breaking Dawn.  Let me just say.... that was interesting!  I am not sure if my hearing has fully recovered from the seriously high pitched preteen girl screams.  Man can they scream!  My poor husband went with me.   That many screaming girls can be frightening to a grown man.  He said it was like looking 10 years into the future.  But we figured if that is the worst thing our daughter does, then we will be pretty lucky!

Mostly everyone was ok, with a few exceptions.  There were some serioulsy freaky looking people there, and some serioulsy rude people, but they were in the minority.  I was so glad to have my book and I stayed up until 3am reading.   I really liked it.  I don't want to elaborate because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it.

All in all it was a good experience, but next time, I think I will just show up at 11:30, get my book and avoid all the hoopla.

I mean it this time... Today I plan to be productive.  Clean  a little around the house, clean up my sewing room to make it easier for me to get to work on the pirate outfits, do laundry, etc.etc.  I still hope to make time to read.  I am trying to finish reading The Host before Breaking Dawn comes out next weekend. Only 6 more days! I can't wait!!!

I would be at comicon right now. How fun would that be?!?

But alas, I am not. (big sigh)

That is all.

So after making Belle dresses, and the stress of finding hoop skirts, The whole Beauty & the Beast thing got rained out.  Poor girls.  They were so disappointed.  Mine cried all the way home from the McDonalds where we were waiting. Good  thing it was a short drive.

So what else is there to do on a rainy Saturday? Read of course!  I finished Eclipse last night. Loved it.  Now I just have to wait 3 weeks before Breaking Dawn comes out.  I picked up The Host  last night and I can't decide if I should read that now or re-read Twilight. hmmmm. So much to read and do, so little time.

I think I will clean up around here today and try to get started on some pirate sewing.  We shall see.

Who's Your Inner Rock Chick?

You Are Ani Difranco!

Honest, real, and well liked. You're not limited by any boundaries. "And you can call me crazy But I think you're as lazy as white paint on the wall"

Your result for The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test ...

The Prioress

You scored 26% Cardinal, 56% Monk, 53% Lady, and 46% Knight!

You are a moral person and are also highly intellectual. You like your solitude but are also kind and helpful to those around you. Guided by a belief in the goodness of mankind you will likely be christened a saint after your life is over.

You scored high as both the Lady and the Monk. You can try again to get a more precise description of either the Monk or the lady, or you can be happy that you're an individual. 



Now what?  I am still bored. SIGH.

 

The following is from sweete ladye's blog -  

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.


Look at the list and bold those you have read.

~Italicise those you intend to read

~Underline the books you LOVE.

~Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've only read 6 and force books upon them

[ I think this meme should also have included a method by which to note those books we started to read, but didn't want to finish, so I’m adding an * for that purpose.
Also, a ** will indicate series/books you only have read part of, like a chapter or two for school]
