I'm just tired

I spent most of today looking at icky houses. Tiny, tiny bedrooms and patios with the neighbor's pool as the view. 6 houses and only one that I finished looking at. And it's over our price range - BUT it's been on the market for a looonnnnngggg time and may be flexible. I hate looking for houses (but not as much as job-hunting, just sayin'). And in the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. Pouring rain. Flooding rain. But none of the homes I saw had damp basements. And after 5 feet of melting snow and 4 inches of rain, that's a true test.

I have 2 new sewing projects lined up. A BWOF from Jan 09 (pretty sure 'bout that) in black linen-look rayon. Nice fabric from FabricMart.com. And a navy skirt out of a Jacquard (did I spell that closely? Seriously, don't care. ) I have 3.5 yards, but it's very narrow - only about 36" wide. Lyra-if you're watching, I'm using the BWOF pattern you sent me. Do you remember when it was from? An A-line "wrap" with double buttons on the front. I'm going to line them both with the same fabric from ??? G-Street????? I'll cut both tomorrow and sew on them as I have time. And I need to hem a pair of RTW, need to take up the waist, too. But it's faster to make new pants than fix purchased ones.

My husband has already gone to bed. I think he over-did while I was gone. He picked up the mail, started dinner, cleaned his bathroom. Walked up the stairs (5 stories) for exercise. Now he feels poorly and stiff and has retired and left me to HGTV and BWOF mags and a glass of wine. And Whine.

And now that spring is imminent, I'm remembering summer.

Lovely Summer.
