holy smokes!: October 2006 Archives

i think i am the only one in the universe who does not know about rejection line.

the genius who thought of this has saved countless people from having to come up with a phone number on the spot.  not to mention the numerous one night stands that could have turned into a relationship had rejection line not been there?  i mean, who really would want that?

rejection line is the backbone of our dating culture.  those scared, defenseless people who cannot come up with the courage to state what they want.  i love it.

although, i really do think the site and the messages are hysterical, i would be sad to know that someone actually uses it.  for kicks and giggles, it is awesome, but in reality, that could hurt someone's feelings... not nice.

i can always tell when i am tired and stressed.  not just because i feel like i could have an anxiety attack at any moment and not just because i get that pain and tension between my shoulders.  but really because i anagram words.

yes.  i know this is weird, but it actually relaxes my mind a little and detoxes me.  i will rearrange the letters of a word to make new words and then rearrange them again and again and again.

this is why games like texas twist amuse me.  and also our shower curtain.  it has words like bath, h2o and shower on it.  over the past few years, i have figured out that shower is an anagram for whores.  for whatever reason, this relieves my stress.

i am sad to say that the shower (whores) curtain will not be in the new house.  you see, neither bathroom will need a shower curtain.  i will have to find new things that have words on it to shift and make new words.  maybe the new microwave holds possibilities.  what can i do with the defrost button?  and "cook dinner" is not the answer.

so, on thursday we will be closing on the house.  i am very excited about this.  although, we have a very busy month, we won't be moving in until november...

so today we purchased two new chairs for the living room.  we also purchased the fabric for the dining room chairs that will accompany the new dining room table we are getting next weekend.

this will be the end of us buying things for the house for at least another 8 years.  either that or until we get back from cancun and survive one of mexico's finest all-inclusives that just so happens to have a sushi bar as well...

back to the house.  have i told you that i am excited.  i am even excited about the first house project for jeorg.  it includes using my sewing machine.  and frankly, if it involves my sewing machine, i am giddy.  (my pink quilt just needs to be put together and bordered, and then it can be quilted).

now.  if  only i can survive this month and move in... life will be really good.

it is hard for me to not be obsessive.  i try to contain myself and resist the urge.  but i know this about myself, i can be extraordinarily single minded, stubborn, determined, tunnel visioned, ornery, whatever you want to call it.

and if you let me sit down in front of my sewing machine for eight hours straight on a saturday, then i am going to want to wake up on sunday and sew some more.  and go to my mother's for dinner, come home, and sew some more again.

yep.  i have sewed the weekend away.  all i remember of it is the pink fabric i am putting together in the shape of flowers and that wonderful feeling of fabric between my fingers.  i love the sound of my sewing machine.  i love the sound of my rotary cutter.  i love the sound of my scissors.  i love the way the fabric feels after being pressed.  i love sewing.

yes, this makes me a girly-girl but if you had any doubt about my status as such, then really, you are new to this blog and have no idea what you have started reading.  right now.  i won't lie.  i'd rather be sewing.  =0)
