how to say I hate monogramming without really meaning it

Today has really sucked!!!! Got up all ready to get in the sweat shop and the first thing I did I have to remove the tackdown stitch.  Put that aside and moved on to next project.  It went OK.  Now for the great one:   customer's onesie, in 5x7 hoop (which is too big for a onesie) didn't pick up material as it did the satin stitch, tried to pick it out (yeah right!) , went to Old Navy to get another one, of course they didn't have it, had to order it off internet.  Now have 2 onesies I don't need because could only buy in packs of 3.  Also can't find a greek alphabet that isn't HUGE.  It's going on a onesie people, not an XL sweatshirt.  Needless to say, I am out of the sweat shop  for the day and have eaten everything in sight.  I know, I haven't had a nap and have only had one diet coke today.  Time for both!

monogramming job

Well, today DD came up and we (she) worked on getting stuff ready to monogram for our customers.  There is about 30 things to do and have to be done by next weekend.  Really?  I'm not that good and since I have only a one needle machine, it takes a long time.  I really don't think that DD realizes just how long it does take.  She has also decided that the 6 needle machine is coming to my house.  I have real mixed feelings about this because I am too fat and too old and too lazy to watch 2 small children, plus help her.  LOML agrees. We shall see.  Got the invite to my Birmingham GC's birthday party.  It is being held with another child but doesn't say that on the invite.  Do I need another gift?  I wish I knew what all the popups on my new computer meant.  It really is sad that I am still in the 2000's.  I finally learned how to make fruit tea and it is really good.  DD agrees.  Tonite is The Closer and Roselli and Isles on TV.  This is really the only programs I like except for Burn Notice.  TV tends to bore me after a while. Do you see a trend going here?Until another day.
Another thing I don't know:  what's with the # before stuff when texting?  You know, like I text.
Sister sent me an email, they did not float away with Irene.  Good to know.

Today I started my blog.  This is to help me remember what my life has been doing.  Not much really.  I took a  nap and had several diet cokes.  The GC came to visit today.  We had a lot of fun running around outside.  Also had bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches for lunch.  I really need to clean my sewing room, but it just sort of bores me to think about it.   The LOML has been working on a utility cabinet for JAA.  Yesterday was our 39th wedding aniversary.  We went to the Walter Anderson museum in Ocean Springs, MS.  It was interesting, but there was a guy there leading a tour and he was very full of himself, and the group wouldn't move so we finally just gave up and left.  Went to Surewater Pottery.  It was pretty cool. Ate lunch at the "original" Shed. That place is really good, but what a DUMP!
