ratty mcratterson

i adopted a rat from a friend, and he is very anti-social.
(the rat, not the friend)

oh and he likes to bite!

i'm unemployed. i need a facial! they're only like a $100 right?

tomorrow will be the start of what will really be my 1st week with NOTHING planned to do!
Whooppiieee!!!!
I am kinda excited.
it's all i can do really- other than continue to be so depressed over losing my job. :-(

what i have really good intentions of doing this week:

1. I'd like to try and make a lot of  Xmass gifts this year instead of buying them- so i can get started on that. (they say it's the thought that counts- right?)
2. my house is a mess, i can clean that. 
3. my art room is TRASHED - i can organize that.
4. it's too cold to clean the garage.
5. mail my xmass cards out
6. i have a MILLION art projects started that i can work on/ finish.
7. i can possibly turn the office downstairs back into a dining room (?)

if i can tackle this list i will feel good by friday.  I have WAY more to do other than this list- but i think this sounds manageable for just this week.

then Saturday morning  i have a quilting class i just signed up for!  It's some lady who will help me with my hand applique. I just started this project- and i really suck at it.... hopefully she can set me straight.

sew sew

i rearranged my new improved sewing room today. It's really hot up here i need a ceiling fan.

My computer is by the window. I have the perfect view of just my neighbor's house. I can watch his every move! I wish it was more exciting- he doesn't do very much.

I have a table just for cutting and a table just for sewing that has the machine built in. So the sewing machine is flush with the table. Having a table just for cutting is just too good to be true!

The room is pink. Hopefully when i can crap up the walls with stuff it won't look like a baby's room. It's making my ovaries hurt it so damn pink and white in here.

I have a pretty mirror- and tons of shelves and containers- so there is a place for everything.

There is an antique changing table with a cat bed on top- so the cats have a bed right next to my desk.

The rugs don't match anything- because they were for my old office and for James' office- but i can't afford to replace them at this point- so i'll have to deal.

Pictures will come as soon as i get everything in place.
