So, in attempting to be a nice daughter today and taking out not only the trash for my mother but also watering her plants, I managed to lock myself out of the house. Apparently you have to a) remember to take your house keys with you if you go out the front door or b) make sure that you unlock the bottom lock. Otherwise you have to ring the doorbell and deal with your mother laughing at you for a good ten minutes. That’s what I get for trying to be nice. Add onto that the fact that I managed to glue myself to the fabric of the headband I was trying to make and my mom got some really good laughs tonight. I’m glad that I could be comic relief. Now I’m waiting for my wash to finish so I can fold it. And while I’m doing that, I’m playing WoW.
What else did I do today besides lock myself out of the house? Well, we did venture to Wal-Mart (as I mentioned earlier) where I found two shirts that I had to buy. One is gray with Snoppy on it that reading a book that says “I ♥ Nerds” and then a blue Tinker Bell shirt that gives the definition of Flirt. I also spent some time working on re-learning HTML and learning XHTML to work on my website. Nothing fancy and I haven’t gotten tons done on it but I did start. No, I did not tackle the layout for my family genealogy site – I’m scared of that. I also mailed three pen pal things, wrote a couple e-mails, started another letter to Katie, and almost finished a whole headband. Oh and I ordered my mom her books from bn.com because MyPoints was giving back 12 points for every dollar spent at bn this weekend. And I had to show her how to use the laptop fan for her laptop that came yesterday. I wanted to clean the bathroom because Mr. Clean himself (my brother) is a bigger slob then I am and our bathroom is a mess but I didn’t get that far. I’m thinking of making him do it since it is his mess but he’s got at least six inches on me and can be pretty brutal. Doesn’t matter if I’m the oldest, he’s the tallest.
The headbands are not as easy as I thought they would be. It’s really hard to get the glue to stick with the fabric. And thank God my mom is understanding because I got glue all over her placemats. At least it wasn’t her new dining room table. I think I would have died if I’d done that. She just said we’ll get new placemats the next time we’re out if we can’t get the glue out. My plan to make all eight this weekend is not going to happen; I don’t want to start them and not finish them. I’m almost done one and have to figure out the second one. The others I am going to look for double sided tape and see if that works a bit better then the fabric glue. Or do they sell little glue strips? Because they would work too.
Alright, guess I’m going back to WOW. It’s a bit quiet here tonight and maybe I’ll find someone to talk to on there.
