Random Oddities for a Monday

It's a random kind of day... Do you feel it? I do.

I had 5 hours of sleep Saturday night due to a late night rescue mission and a hyper early Sunday morning. So I was dragging a.lot. on Sunday. Yawned a lot during church and failed to notice a college student pass out... Where was I??? Apparently paying attention to the sermon. Which is good, but wow! Not noticing someone faint? hmmm.. and we have a fairly small church!

Went home with the intentions of clearing off the dining room table and cutting out the multiple layers of skirts for the prom dress. Didn't happen.

Visited with family who was here for the weekend and laughed, rolled eyes, grimaced, gossiped and laughed more.

Meri is home from school sick today. The weekend kind of wore her out too.

Her sock hop on Friday night was a good time for her! She won 2 $10 gift cards to an arcade close by. Cool! Someone else won an Ipod shuffle! Good prizes!! She didn't win for best costume, but in my book she did...Since her skirt is a circle poodle skirt, she discovered that if you spun around as fast as you can, the skirt could theoretically go straight out. She attempted many times. But she couldn't spin THAT fast or she'd go forwards or backwards in time depending on which way she spun.

I actually dumped something in my soil saver contraption on Saturday! I am MAKING dirt!!!! Well, at least a good vitamin kick for the dirt in my garden. So far, the leftovers that I threw in there are probably making a good stink... I plan on raking up a bunch of leaves that blew in behind our lilac bushes and pile them in too. That's supposed to compose well, isn't it?Got the rest of the bias cut strips sewn onto the prom dress bodice on Saturday. Just waiting to attach the skirt. May do some cutting out over lunch. Not sure. It would be nice to get that project done! Maddy and I went to JoAnns on Saturday and found some fabric to be the lining under the organza. It doesn't match the sparkly stuff that we used under the bodice, but oh well. The color is a little darker, but it will look really pretty. I think...

And then on to Meri's Easter sample dress. Meri is insisting on making it herself for 4H, so I insisted that I do the sample dress to ensure a good fit, then she can have the sample dress to use as a pattern.

So only 1.5 dresses to go before prom and Easter stuff is done. Then maybe I'll make myself something new for Easter... That would be nice. I might be able to work on that at the same time that Meri is working on her dress. We'll see.

Ok... Enough rambling. My Diet Coke is getting watered down from the melting ice...

I hope you all had a great weekend! What did you do?
