So I tried to start sewing the cloak last night. We brought up the portable sewing machine (which is a bit of an oxymoron, being that if you actually tried to port that thing anywhere you'd probably end up with a hernia) but we had to wind a new bobbin for the thread, which turned out to be wound the wrong way, then the machine decided to not work. So made for a rather frustrating night. My mom said that the machine had done that twice before, once the night before halloween when she was trying to make a costume for me, and once before my aunt's wedding when she was trying to fix my flower girl dress. So, I suppose it's good that I have a year to do this thing. Hopefully it will work tonight. Sigh. If it doesn't, there is another portable sewing machine, and if all else fails we use the super-duper machine in the art room. Sigh. I wouldn't be able to watch tv back there, at least not for now.

I think we're taking the dvd/vcr/tv back, it's not quite what we want. But doing that will be a pain. Grr. Although when we do we'd be able to move the dvd/vcr player from room to room so I can watch LotR whenever I want! Yay! lol.

I wrote more of my Roswell fic last night. Man, it would be so good if I could only finish it! Came up with another idea for my novel too. Too bad I'm not independently wealthy so I can't just do nothing but write it. Although I know if I did that I would be bored out of my mind. I suppose it will work out somehow. I really want to put up an excerpt of the new stuff to see if you guys like it, but that would mean I'd have to transfer it from the laptop, blah blah. Someday grasshopper.

Lunchtime!
