Summary of the weekend

Non-negotiable:
Church on Sunday and Mother's day lunch with Mom and Dad
Get Mother's day present (didn't find what I was looking for, going with plan B)
Robert and Carrie's by 4:30 today
Clean kitchen
Put away clothes
Grocery shopping (Apparently this was negotiable, although probably not the smartest thing to leave undone. However, shopping in three inch heels, just wasn't on my list of things to do yesterday)
Get elastic
Have my favorite lady try on her Egils pants

If I have time:
Vacuum and straighten house
Clean litter boxes
Pick up Pottery
Put away new yarn
Cut out second pair of pants
Finish seems on Tunic and hem
Finish seems on pants and hem
Take out trash


I also managed to do some weeding since I was tired of watching the weeds crawl up the side of the apartment complex. It's not the section in front of my house; I try to keep that clear but it was driving me crazy, not to mention, reseeding my flower beds. Now I have piles of weeds that need to be moved to the trash. I need to call the landlord and let him know that the landscaping needs some attention.

I did not get as much sewing done as I would have liked. I did some running around on Saturday- dropped off some fabric for Thingmakers at Marians and looked at several stores for masonry turtles for my mom's garden. She's been collecting turtles but they are incredibly difficult to find. I ended up giving my mom a gift card IOU for something different. The GC was for a yarn store and I told her that we could pick out a pattern for something together, choose the yarn and I would knit it for her. She wants a triangular shawl so I spent quite a bit of time yesterday pulling out pictures of shawls that I though she might like (this interfered with my sewing time but it was worth the time). I made her no guarantees about the amount of time it would take me to do this project. It will depend on the pattern and the yarn. It will be nice to have a complex pattern to play with. I keep meaning to work on lace but keep getting distracted by socks and the instant gratification thereof. It will test my skill, I'm sure, but hopefully I'm up for the challenge. I only sorted through 4 pages of shawls on Ravelry... there were 54 pages worth of free patterns although, not all of them are in English. These are the ones I offered, although if she doesn't like any of them we'll keep looking. (What in the world did we do before Ravelry? So many incredible patterns and pictures all for free!)

This week...

Every minute of time seems to be being consumed by Egils prep although I am scheduling some play time for myself.

Today:
Work and then tonight is a play night. No Egils work, although maybe a little grocery shopping to tide me through.

Tuesday:
Alex and Amy's for Egils project night. We need to talk about the tailor shop and start getting things put together. I need to find Drea's list. I think it was on my laptop. I'll have to check the back-up or see if I can hunt it down on LJ. I should get some sewing time in there.

Wednesday:
Church in the evening...Maybe some sewing time before and after.

Thursday:
Egils meeting. I should get sewing time then. I need to double check with Ariana to see if I'm comped or need to get a check to Rachel. I should also see about pre-reg'ing Carrie so that it's only $18 and not more even. If she only comes for two days it's still cheaper than day trip fees. And if she doesn't make it, it's only $18.

Friday:
Dinner with the family and a family from church. My friend, Lura's Mother is here visiting and she knew my grandparents. Mom and Dad wanted a chance to visit with her before she leaves and I'd like to have a chance to visit with Lura. Lura reminds me a lot, in appearance, of my sister. I don't know her at all well yet (she just moved here) but I'm enjoying getting to know her. Her husband is a merchant marine so he's gone most of the time and she has a young son to raise. They moved here because his family is here and can lend a hand while he's gone.

Saturday:
Depending on the bank balance, I may need to work but, if not, this is a sewing and cleaning day. We have a Cam game in the evening and I will have a couple hours to visit with Robert and have dinner before hand. I have been keeping people off balance by wearing something different every week, but I haven't the time to make anything new this time and the only new thing I have is simply a different color Sari. I'll have to think about what I want to wear. My only requirement is that it appeals to the sensual nature of my character (and myself).
