And it launches Nu-kler weapons! April 12, 2007

So about a month ago, Silvia, my cleaner, vacuumed my phone charger. I then tried to charge my phone that night and well, being of German blood (no offense Dirk) I forced the sucker into the phone. This caused irreparable damage to the charging part of the phone and now my phone would only hold 12 hours of charge regardless of the battery. I tried a few new batteries and a new charger. Sigh. I let the guy at work know that I need a new phone.
It came yesterday. Good Lord this thing could start a nuclear war! It is an LG VX8300. It has a camera (with a flash!), it’s an MP3 player, the camera takes video, I can watch video on this sucker. Good Gracious! I never imagined I would ever want such a thing. I just wanted a replacement speaker phone. But hey, now I am trying to figure out how to convert some of my music to WAV files and get it on a micro SD card (tiny little sucker).
On Tuesday, I went shopping with a friend. We stopped at a fabric store. I bought a cute pattern for the girls and some fabric! I hope to make them each a sundress before summer. You think this is too ambitious? I do! But I will go slow and see if I can do this. Sleeveless helps because I am terrified of sleeves!
Tonight, I will work on a new blanket for Luna. She is using this silly wrap that someone bought Soleil when she was a baby. The thing has holes everywhere. It drives me nuts that she loves it so much because it doesn’t cover her anymore. We bought a 1.5 yard piece of beautiful fleece. It is red with black dog prints. I trimmed it last night and I am going to baste the sides tonight (at least one side).
And I will do this while watching my Sabres! It’s Playoff time! Go Buffalo!

Go Sabres! Islanders suck!
(Am I allowed to say that?)
What a cute pattern! Y’know, don’t you, that Luna is going to reject the beautiful new fleece blanket in favor of her wrap? So don’t offer it as a replacement, offer it as an addition–”Look at this beautiful new blanket! You can snuggle under it with your wrap and keep your wrap safe & warm.”
Um. Go Sabres?
Hey-hey-hey now… I use much more subtle methods to break most of my electronic toys…
Yay for you on the sewing! My gma keeps saying that I’ve just gotta jump in there and try. When I look at patterns, I take out the instructions and read thru them. If there are things written that make my head spin trying to figure them out, I don’t buy it. Have you seen my sewing products on my blog? You should try making a pillowcase dress. They’re super easy.
OMG, that is such a cute pattern. Let me know when you finished and tell me 1) was it easy to sew? 2) how long did it take you to make the dress 3) how many time you start, then stop, then start.
I can sew but only if I need to. I have my handy dandy sewing machine out but ask me when was the last time I started something with my sewing machine.
Have a great weekend
