Well, let’s see. I haven’t posted anything meaningful in several days, so…
I actually went in to work 3 days this week. I took Monday off to sell my first car, the beautiful Grand Am to my little sister. She is 21, graduated in August and is now looking for work as a qualified medical office assistant. My lovely 1995 Grand Am that only had one owner before me, has all of the paperwork including the original sales sticker, just over 41,000 miles on the odometer (yes, those are original miles) and fresh paint on portions of the trim that were suffering from age. Yep, she’s a cream puff. And my dad bought her from me as a graduation present to my sister. She seemed pretty overwhelmed when we went to get the title and tags transferred, so I suspect she’s still getting used to the idea of having her own car. Now she just needs to become familiar with the car and driving, in general.
Tuesday, I decided to work from home while Terry went in. I was actually quite effective. I sat out in the reading room, in a comfy recliner, with the bright sunlight streaming in the windows. Once I got over the hump, which for me is around 10:30 in the morning when I desperately want to go back to bed, I was in good shape.
The rest of the week was good, despite all of the issues I ran into. I think I’m starting to come up out of this depression a bit because I’m feeling a bit lighter than I had been.
Tonight, I fried up some bacon. Yummmmmmmmmmmm! I LOVE bacon. So much. Haven’t had it in a while and no one makes it super crunchy like I like it anyway, so we decided to have bacon and eggs for dinner. 🙂 That’s breakfast for dinner twice in a row, as we had waffles and sausage last night. Mmmmmmm.
On the stitching front, I finished Just Nan’s Be Witchy (the Hershey CATS special) on Friday night. It’s been my commute project all week and I just needed to add the beads on Friday. I will see if I can’t get it into the WhimZi frame that I purchased for it before I got to bed tonight so that I can take it to work tomorrow and hang it up in my cubicle. Otherwise, I’m working on Catherine-Michele’s Round Robin. I need to have it in the mail next Monday morning, so I have this week and next weekend to finish it. There are a lot of different colors in the piece, so the color changes are tedious. I also started on the Scissors Fob Exchange piece for the Robin’s Nest. It is my commute project from here on out and I’m hoping that it will go pretty quickly.
I just came in from painting some scissors. I had some spare, boring metal scissors laying around and some spare car paint, so I figured why not? I have three pairs drying overnight to see how they come out, but I think they’re mostly done. I may put a clear coat on them tomorrow as a finishing touch. I have one last pair outside drying in between coats. I’ll go out in a few minutes and put another coat on it. I’ll probably do this a couple more times on this pair before I call it a night.
I also made up a TON of little packages today, most of which will be winging their way to various destinations all over the world tomorrow morning. What doesn’t go out tomorrow will go out on Tuesday, barring any major problems. And now I’m off to put another coat on those scissors.
Hi Jenna! Sounds like you had a good week! I know how you feel about breakfast for dinner..sometimes a nice waffle for dinner just hits the spot…LOL Tho am afraid that bacon and I don’t get along very well….:( So you paint your scissors??? How do you do that? I’ve got a few metallic looking pairs around here somewhere…nice ones..but they are just blah. 😛 I haven’t been stitching much…as I’ve been busy trying to get packages together..IOUs for wish list stuff…etc. I’m nearly caught up! YAY!! Yes one will be winging it’s way to you….not for a while though as I want to include your Christmas ornament in it..hehe 🙂
Well enjoy your painting….and stitching! I’m off to go start another ornament….:D
Have a good one!
HUGS

Breakfast for dinner is such a comfort food!!
And I LOVE *really* dead, cruchy bacon, too! Mmmmm.
Jenna, it’s good to hear that you had a good week! I’m so anxious to hear how your scissors come out – what an idea, lol! Congrats on finishing Be Witchy! It’ll give you a little moral support when you see it hanging in your cubicle! 😀
Jenna,
I am sooo glad that you feel like you are coming out of your depression! That is such wondeful news!
I loooove beacon too! And there just is not much like having breakfast for dinner! Sounds like you have had a pretty good week! I love the idea of what you are doing with your scissors, hope you share pics when you area done!!!
I like bacon, too, and my family used to the breakfast-for-dinner thing quite regularly. I’m not a crunchy bacon fan though. It needs to be cooked but still a bit soft.
I’m glad to hear you had a pretty good week and I hope the week ahead is even better!
Hey Jenna! I’m glad you’ve been feeling better.:) Your voice definitely sounds chirpier! 😀 Love ya! (((hugs)))
I’m so glad your spirits are lifting. 🙂
Also, I have to say that your little sister is refreshing to hear about after this past year with my little brother and his friends. The way they simply made it clear that they absolutely must thave their very own cars and looked upon it not as a privilege but as an expected necessity the senior year of high school – I wanted to beat him over the head with a nerf bat. I don’t think he ever realized just how lucky he was or appreciated what he had.
And breakfast for dinner sounds so yummy…
Wow, compared to your list I am just plain lazy!
I am so happy for you that you are feeling a bit better. ~Must be the bacon! (I am a sucker for french toast/pancakes with eggs for dinner, YUM!) But then again I have been bitten with the “must eat pumkin pie” thing…. hee hee)
*hugs*
Painting scissors sounds like fun! I’m really glad you’re starting to feel a little better.
I can’t wait to see a photo of these scissors of yours Jenna.
