Wednesdays

My friend Paige got me hooked on Project Runway in the middle of the third season. It comes on Bravo and if it's on, I watch it. They are on the 4th season and I've seen them all at least 3 times--probably more. Each Wednesday night at 9pm a new episode comes on. They play all the previous episodes all day leading up to the new one. Usually I let Matt watch Nick and Noggin, but he knows that Wednesday is Mom's TV day. I may not be able to watch Project Runway all day, but it stays on the TV.

Tomorrow night is the last episode where the designers that are left all are showing their collections at New York Fashion Week. Of course, this is the kind of fashion that normal people don't wear but elements of the stuff comes through into regular fashion and trends.

Now I don't know a lot about fashion, but I do know about sewing. To be able to come up with a design, choose the fabric, develop a pattern, cut out the pieces, sew them together, fit a model, finish the garment(s), and have it ready to show to Michael Kors can be daunting. To do it in 2 days or often less is astounding. The things that these designers have created have been amazing. The 3 designers that are left--Christian (his name is not indicative of his lifestyle), Jillian, and Rami--are all incredibly talented and creative. My favorite to win is Jillian. She makes stuff that is more to my taste. Christian's stuff is a bit on the wild side. Rami's stuff is flowy and billowy and has an old world Grecian feeling to it. All 3 have a lot to offer.

I'm really excited about watching it tomorrow night. But it being Bravo, if I miss it at 9pm, I can watch it at 10 pm, possibly 11pm, the next day at 9am, and several other times throughout the coming days.

New Year's Resolution--Day 8

Dave said in his sermon this past Sunday that 25% of New Year's Resolutions are broken before 2 weeks have past. I haven't made it that far yet, but I'm doing pretty good. Right now, the only unfolded thing in the laundry room is the dirty laundry. I'm not folding that. Not everything is put away, but everything clean is folded and stacked or hung up. It is a good feeling to know that I can find exactly what I'm looking for, unless it's dirty. It's great!

Wired

I decided that today I'd try to finish the bathroom. The main thing I needed help with was the light fixture and the outlet. There were 2 wires coming into the bathroom, not official receptacles, except for the switch. I called my dad to come help me figure out the wiring. He ended up doing all the work because it wired so strangely. So we ran the wires down inside the walls rather than just hanging down from the ceiling. There is an official outlet and a wired in light fixture. The other thing I needed help with was removing the toilet tank so that I could remove the wallpaper from behind it and paint behind it. Dad helped me with that, too. Actually, he did most of the work on that. When I got the supplies from the building supply store in Carthage this morning, I told the man that this bathroom is so small it should be measured in square inches rather than feet. Eight square feet is a generous estimate. I tell people that you can potty and wash your hands at the same time, savin...

What a Long Strange Trip

There have been times in my life when nothing testing or trying has occurred for a long time. The past couple of years have not been like that. Just this past month, my daughter Elizabeth just turned 2. Her little life has been eventful. It all started with her. While I was still pregnant with her, the doctor discovered a mysterious cyst growing in her abdomen. He did not know what it was--he gave me 3 possibilities. He sent me to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who also gave me the same 3 possibilities. So after ultrasounds every 2 weeks, the cyst continued to grow to be about 10 cm (yes, that's 4 inches--softball size). At 37 1/2 weeks, my doctor decided that she needed to be delivered by section because he just didn't want to take chances with the cyst. Seh was delivered fine and seemed to be completely fine, except for a bigger than normal belly. After we were released from the hospital, we went straight (and I do mean straight) to the Children's Hospital in Jackso...
