59. Vodka Lime Please.

And that is why I love both being a lightweight, and loving vodka so damn much. I can do for "drinks" and spend just over $5 and have a great time. I don't feel the effect of the drinks at all, but it was good. If I had been crashing in Halifax I might have had more, or even if I had gone downtown for the purpose of drinking to get drunk I would have had more, but I was perfectly fine with what I had.

And now I'm off to knit a hedgehog. Not even kidding.

-Cheers folks!

58. Can I get some back-up?

I went to Atlantic Fabrics today and I spent a pretty penny. I bought quilting thread which was a heck of a lot more expensive than I thought it was going to be. I got black thread because of the backing fabric that I have. Obviously, I got backing fabric, which I love. I also got the batting for layering in between. I had thought about just getting two meters of the batting on the big rolls, but getting it in a bag pre-cut (into 78"X100") was cheaper. And I'm all about the cheap. I then went to the dollar store to get some safety pins (mine have all seemed to disappear along with my darning needles), and some more thread for sewing the blocks together.

Okay, time for more old Battlestar, and by old I don't mean Lorn Greene, I mean Season 3. It was like three years ago, so yes, it's old. But right now, to tide you all over, I give you a taste of De-Lovely, with my (um, fourth?) boyfriend, John Barrowman.



-Cheers folks!

57. Look Ma!

My grandmother actually laughed at me when I said I was working on a quilt. She's all down with my knitting, and in fact she enjoys it because I give her my yarn scraps for all the charity knitting she does. But when I told her that I was working on a small quilt, she nearly guffawed. Not even kidding. She looked at me like I was insane, and then asked if it was just blocks or a pattern. I told her that it was going to be mainly blocks with an inner border or triangles. But now, I have a blanket! Sorta. I have a bunch of squares sewn together, some of which still need to be sewn on, so they're pinned on with safety pins. I really really like it so far, and I'm thinking that I want a dark base for the backing. Maybe I'll stop in at the fabric store tomorrow before I meet up with the mister. See if I can find anything good looking enough and cheap enough. I also need to pick up some quilt batting. What do you guys think, dark background with light polka-dots? Sounds good to me.

-Cheers folks!

56. Teh Sexay

Hey look! It's me. It's also nearly midnight, I've been up since 6am, I have to get up at 6am again tomorrow. I had lunch at noon, and supper at 9. There was work, and then Sparks. I had a great time at Sparks, but work was annoying, and after Sparks I found a message which made me not happy in the least. I'm a little stressed and aggravated. I need to start doing these before midnight.

-Cheers folks.

55. Jones for a Jones

The mister and I are going to make Skittles Vodka, and because we searched and searched but were unable to find some decent bottles, he came up with a brilliant idea: Pop bottles. Old school pop shop style bottles. We went to the grocery store and bought 5 bottles of Jones pop. Already 3 have already been drank, and I have the other two here. We got two root beer, one orange and cream, one blue bubblegum, and one green apple. The root beer and the orange and cream area really good, we'll soon see how the other ones are. I'm excited to get this vodka experience going, I hope it turns our good.

Now I'm off to fold laundry and go to bed, the exciting life of me eh?

-Cheers folks!
