A lot of rambling, inspired from lack of sleep.

Sooooo tired.

I'd really like to shave my legs, but I don't think I'm going to make it too much longer tonight. How sad is that? It's only just after 8:30pm!

I stayed up late the past two nights, and I'm dog-tired tonight because of it. In my defense, I planned to go to bed early last night, but I had unexpected company - six people that needed a bed/pallet/floor to sleep on, and I was up really late because of it. But I'm glad I could help out.

And I wanted a nap this afternoon so badly, but Jack asked ever-so-sweetly if I would help him build his new LEGO pirate ship (The Black Pearl), and since I spent all yesterday afternoon cleaning out and decluttering his room to make a space for said ship, it made sense to actually open the box today. That took almost two hours, but now he has two gigantic pirate ships, as well as the Isla Cruces playset on his train table. And then he and A.J. played quietly for an hour or so in his room while I tossed in some laundry and tatted a bit.

Speaking of tatting (and aren't I always?), I've been busting my tail completing pieces. I finished my mom's birthday present, plus my sister's, and I just finished up my sister-in-law's piece tonight during swim lessons. I need to take pictures of all of them. I finally wrote out a "to tat for" list, as the increasing number of requested projects was beginning to spin in my little brain. I split one skein or floss two nights ago (none of you showed up to help, by the way), and that took me very close to two hours. I've got two more skeins to split, and then I'll be using those three split skeins to make six certain projects.

And I'm dying to make another pair of baby booties. Seriously, now that the booties are completed, given away, loved and worn by the baby, I just want to make oodles and oodles more of them! Some people have baby fever or baby lust. I have baby bootie fever.

I've been folding Moravian stars in my "free" time after dinner and such at night, and I even took the strips of paper with me to swim lessons last week one night. I suppose it's clear that I can't just SIT there at swim lessons, isn't it? I really can't. I must be doing *something* all the time.

Me = Spazzy.

I'm going grocery shopping in the morning tomorrow after I drop the boys off at school. I had originally planned to go today, but there wasn't quite enough time after my guests left this morning. We had everything we needed for dinner tonight anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. Besides, when I go tomorrow, I'll be well-rested.

Mmmmmmm. Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

You remind me a lot of my mom :) She's kinda crazy in the way that she has to be doing something at all times. I love her though :)

And I would have come over and helped but I live a little too far away. One day we shall meet, I say!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm kinda crazy too. ;-)

If you are itching to make another pair so badly, I would commission you to make a pair for Jeannie's baby. You'd have until November to do them.

And we know for certain it's a girl yet? For really certain?

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

LOL. :-D

But who are the six people who slept over? That sounds like there's quite a story behind it!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there probably is a story there... who knows when it might actually make it to my journal, though. ;-)

Oh dear. You've running non-stop! Just take a load off and sleep!! Relaaaaax. Lol.

Heh, if only it were just that simple, right?

[maryjo.livejournal.com]

Off topic a bit, but I *finally* sent you some Coke reward points. I hope they all work (some are hard to read) and that you can still use them :o)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Thanks, only I don't see an email anywhere. Could you send it again maybe?

[maryjo.livejournal.com]

I sent it to navygreen@livejournal.com. Is that a good one to send it to?

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

If the notification running through the email system is no better than the one working comments right now (and I'm only seeing this because it's in my "Messages" here on LJ), then probably not. :-/

Send it to me here. Thanks, and sorry for the extra trouble! I'll probably get the other one in a day or two...

[maryjo.livejournal.com]

Sent! Please let me know if you get it...

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

I did finally get it, by the way - thanks again!
