i've always been crudy with sewing machines. which i feel disappointed about. as a teen i took a sewing class in highschool with great hopes of becoming a skilled seamstress who makes her own awesome clothes. i got a really bad grade. i break sewing machines. without fail everytime i touch them i break them. however... jill and rach are telling me that it's just a question of practise. SO i'm now working up the courage to buy a used sewing machine when i come into some money. i'll have to start small. many just practice sewing lines and boxes. make a pillowcase, then maybe some boxer shorts. i'm afraid of getting my hopes up because they've been dashed before. it's so bizarre because i can confidently handle any power-tool that comes my way, but cower in defeat when faced with a sewing machine. i hope to conquer this skill and make it part of my repertoire.
it seems i've been bit with the house-buying bug. i'm no longer sending b job posting and i'm instead send him house ads. i can't really decide how serious i am about buying a home. i'm flirting with the idea although not ready to commit (which is good because brendan is not interested in the slightest - which is fair, he did move twice last year). i guess you could say i'm playing the field. the advantage to this is that we can wait til one pops up in the right area, with the right price, and the right amenities.
how you ever found that an album, although quality and listening pleasure, just doesn't jive with you because of your phase in life? that's remarkable to me. i like how music kind of shape-shifts and becomes more accessable at different times in our lives.
all covered in snow and mildly cold tonight.

I would highly recommend going and talking to the guy at Simkins. Although a little awkward, he is really wonderful to deal with and will not steer you wrong. And although it might cost you a little more in the beginning, a decent machine will make your life exponentially easier!!

I don't think you ever need to commit to the idea of buying a house. Just keep your eyes and mind open in case something great comes along.
We weren't house hunting at all when we bought our first house. It was the first and only house we looked at and we only went through it for fun because we thought it was cute on the outside and were curious to see the inside. And I think that the reason we got such a great second house is that we didn't HAVE to move and were able to take our time until the perfect house in a great location came along. There was no pressure on us.
