Our family has some big news! Dan is planning on moving into an apartment of his own. He'll be moving in the beginning of August. He's busy getting a whole bunch of stuff together for the place, kitchen things, living room things, etc. My brother mike is also getting an apartment of his own in September and my mom and dad are tentatively planning on selling their house and moving into a condo in that fall. So many changes! I don't think I can cope.
Oh yeah, Our grocery bill will be only half of what it is now. And there will be one less person to pink up after. I think I will cope just fine. Ben will move into his brother's room and Ben's room will become a walk in closet or perhaps a library. I think we should combine his closet and ours into one large closet and then his room can have one wall turned into built-in floor to ceiling book shelves. We could also put in a desk and turn it into a small home office. Yeah...I think we will cope quite well when Dan leaves.
It's a big step for all of us. It will be interesting to see how the next six months unfold. There will be changes for all of us ahead.
Last night was Amy's graduation. The dress was absolutely stunning on her and it was well worth all the work. She looked just like the sketch I did! The ceremony ran about half an hour longer than it was supposed to...but what graduation doesn't run overtime? Dave's university graduation was almost four hours one hour was for some guy getting a special degree for his work in pure mathematical theory as it pertained to the motion of galaxies and the stars within them, mixed up with Fermat's final theorem and a bit of what has lately been known as quantum theory and string theory. So after she took me around to meet some teachers and others. Amy and I look very much alike, and we're quite similar in other ways too. Good ways. When they were talking about who was about to win the English award the second they said "has a flair for drama" I KNEW it was Amy. Then when they called her "the school's own Bellatrix LeStrange" I think everyone knew it was her. That's a character in Harry Potter, by the way.
So I still have the burnout velvet that I was thinking of using. Note: it was so hot yesterday that the poor girl would have melted in the burnout velvet. I also have the stretch lace with the Aurora Borealis beading, and some of the other trims, and i think they would be perfect for a new black cocktail dress. I also have some black aurora Borealis hot fix crystals in 20, teardrop and 60 sizes, so the dress can really sparkle. Ill make the bodice fitted like a basic sheath with a shallow and broad V in the front and the skirt will be twisted, gathered and quite full. I also have three sewing machine threaded with plenty of black thread and the coolest place in the house in the basement...
After the graduation my brother came over and took out camping trailer away. We haven't used it since Ben became far too long for the beds inside. There are still a few (a lot) of repairs needed on the canvas. I hope it's roadworthy long enough for a trip to where-ever. Probably should have an expert look at it, it's been sitting for several years and I hope it's still okay for the road. So far Steve says there are no problems, but all he did is drive it to his place.
When I got up this morning I had fifty comment waiting for me. Was it something I said about jello salads, which generated over 400 comments at one point? Was it the entry where i said phentex yarn slipper looked and smelled like ass, which still generates hate mail? No, it was for fifty separate entries, and all of them were this:
Good credit history student have got a main target to achieve higher study. Money plays good rolls in their study because money completes the necessities of the higher study that’s why the requirements of money are increasing very fast, how ever the student who have got the bad credit history, they don’t achieve the higher study, due to lack money and they don’t pay the asset to the avail the loans.
...with a link to a website that ended in the .ru suffix. Yeah, I'm going to go for a loan from an ad that isn't even written in real english, just bad babelfish english. The infuriating part is that it took half an hour to delete this spam crap one by one.
And that's all for today. I have to brave the heat and do some work outside and get a few groceries and then recover from heat stroke. Later!
