a sewing machine. in fact i want THIS sewing machine.

its not often i am fixated on something. i still want a REAL corset, but i think i’d rather have the sewing machine first. i like the idea of sewing all the cool clothes that i can’t really afford in the good stores, and are too cheaply made elsewhere.

(for whatever reason, the links on that sight don’t work the way they should. its the Simplicty Creative Spirit Plus machine)

i have a little whimsy, it goes in and out you see
and if i can’t contain it, what becomes of me?

i was going to write this really long post about depression, physical pain, and how certain friends (ones that never read this blog) really annoy me at times. but then i decided i didn’t want to whine that much in public. i will say that dealing with physical pain on a daily level tends to make a person REALLY cranky.

i had a nice time with my friend Amanda tonight. we had chinese food and wondered around wally-world for a bit. i had friends over, but i just got this horrible feeling of claustorphobia and had to get out. she’s an international studies major as well, so its always a good conversation with her.

i may have to go get an MRI done soon to find out what’s wrong with me.

so driving home from grandmother’s house i hear from the back seat: “mah ha ha ha ha”

and then a few minutes later, with a little deeper voice and finesse “Mua ha ha haaaa”

suddenly i realize what that my daughter is practicing her maniacal laughter. finally she gets a REALLY good rendention out, and its followed by a squeal and clapping on her part. “YAY!!!” she says.

i swear, i am not responsible for this.

Mom has been in the hospital for a week now. They removed her gallbladder and several gallstones. When I say gallstones, I don’t mean little pea sized ones that normal people get. This thing was the size of a tennis ball. Really, I’m not kidding. My husband asked if they named it.

The past week hasn’t been easy. I missed work because of wanting to be ready for Mom and Dad, and because I hurt my hip again and have been limping around like some old lady. I’ve been working on getting that fixed. My boss totally rocks, all he asked was that I keep him informed. There was no third degree.

Daecon was amazing, as always. He was there for me and reminded me when I was borrowing trouble. My mother-in-law kept the kids when I couldn’t take them with me. My friends gave me moral support. My Aunts and Uncles gave me support and suggestions for things to do to help Mom get the care she needed.

Last night my friends came over and cooked us dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. Now I’m alone in a house and missing daecon very badly. He will be home soon, though.

I love my friends and my family. I am a very, very lucky woman.

ok, not really. cause i believe in… something. its not really definable, and i don’t curse dieties in general because you just never know.

anyway, its been a hellatious week and i’m glad its coming to an end. i’ll write more about it later when the house is quiet and i can concentrate.
