Between a hurricane headed right at us and DS#2 starting school tomorrow, it's going to be a long week I think. (Last week was long too, as I worked over 60 hours.)
Hoping the power doesn't go out, at least not for long, since I (optimistically) went grocery shopping today.
Public Service Announcement: Plan better and stay the HECK out of Walmart on (1) the day before school starts and (2) the day before a hurricane. It's already a nightmare and today it was a freakin' zoo.
Sewing-wise, the only thing that got done was to take apart and file some Burda WOFs magazines and cut out two pairs of capris, which I'm going to sew assembly-line style this week. It's the middle of August and I've sewn only ONE pair of capris for summer, and they are not a favorite. I need some more go-to capris for every day. These 2 are going to be very simple pull-ons from my TNT Simplicity pattern that I've made lots of times before, but that's what I want/need for my stay-at-home/work days. Both are denim. One is a dark wash blue, and the other is brown.
I thought about you when I seen on TV about the hurricane. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteMaybe school won't start tomorrow because of the storm.

I hope your week and the hurricane fizzes out to calm, boring and totally uneventful, with lots of excess food to eat. :) Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteStay safe this week and I hope (as Donna said) the hurricane fizzles. I can totally relate to the Wal-mart story, it was crazy in dd's college town on freshman move-in day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you make it thru the hurricane without damage. Regarding Walmart--each year before school starts, the State of Texas gives a "tax free" weekend on clothes and school supplies. This past weekend was that weekend. Sales tax is exempt which is between 7and 9%. The folks go NUTS! Most people don't get excited about a 10% off sale anymore, but say tax free and it's CRAZY. I always stay home those weekends!
ReplyDeleteHope you remain safe from the hurricane. Living in a part of the world where these never happen, I have no experience what it is to be prepared for these, but it must be an anxious experience.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your family well! I'm from New Orleans and lost every because of Katrina. We have been home for a year now so I understanding your concerns. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you! I was one of those nuts in Wal Mart yesterday, trying to find water and a 3 inch binder. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI hope the hurricane skips you and life continues normal there. Also yeah for the new capris- even working at home one needs clothing. I mess up more clothes working at home than when I am dressed and out for the day. I think I am harder on clothing as well with some of my activities,wash them more and they don't last like some of the dressier clothing I own. The summer heat in the south makes for more daily clothes changes as well especially if you go in and out of the air conditioning. Enjoy the new capris- you deserve them. mssewcrazy
ReplyDeleteI'm in denial, and I'm about 2 miles from the Gulf!
ReplyDeleteFay sure is being fickle! Hope things are ok in your neck of Florida!
