Crafty

I'm picking up some new crafty skills and I'm quite proud of it actually.  I'm learning to crochet - have learned two stitches already and will probably get a third under my belt next Tuesday...  AND I'm doing some cross-stitching - which I've done in school but it's been awhile...  I haven't lost my touch though, still remember how to do it - and the kit that Deb gave me to work on for her, though extremely involved, is going to turn out quite nicely I think.  It's really cool to make things yourself - been thinking about using my new skills to make gifts for my loved ones...  although I think I need to get a little better, lol.

I will say I'm having a lot of fun though - and that's what is most important right?

What?!? Ugh! Not AGAIN!!!

I am SO tired of some of the drama that's going on here in Ely. However, I know exactly who is causing it all and I've already told this person that I'm not dealing with it anymore. I didn't come all this way to put up with the same bullshit that I left behind in Los Angeles. I hope that I don't have to stop seeing this person, but if that's what it takes to lead a non-stressful life, then so be it. Not many chances left - so this person either get it together, or just stay away from me with all the shit. That's my final word on the subject.

Painting

I never realized how difficult it is to paint - and I don't mean watercolors, I mean painting walls in a house...  I thought we were going to just grab the brushes and go to it - but my friend wanted two colors, one for trim and a main color.  Today we did all the trimming.  I was at her house from 10 o'clock this morning, until 5 o'clock this evening - and that's with only about 45 minutes for dinner.  Tomorrow we paint the main color...  she said it would be easier, but that was before her husband reminded her of all the tape-work that would have to be done to protect the trimming we just painted today.  I see a full day at my friend's - and then 3 to 4 hours at circle tomorrow night.

I dare someone to say I'm not sociable, lol.
