i want to...but...

i want to go have a hot shower
but i have to wait for the tardy
(supposed to be here between 8 am and 11 am...
it is now almost 2 pm)
telephone repair man to come
fix my phone.

i would call to see where the hell
tardy telephone repair man is
but my phone doesn't work.

i want to be happy that friday
is my last day doing the job that
i was currently hating
but i'm too consumed with fear
and anxiety that i may have made
the wrong choice and we will suffer
financially because of it.

i would love to take advantage of
having today off and get out of the house
for awhile before the kids get home from
school but i would feel guilty if i spent any
money, its raining, i haven't had a shower yet
and i have to wait for tardy telephone
repair man to come.

i would like to continue using my
current telephone service provider
BUT i can see that may change if
someone doesn't get here soon and
fix my damn telephone so i can go
have a shower.

ack.

grateful friday and a contest...


whipup

so...first a contest.

whipup.net is having a contest called whiplash.

this week's challenge is called everyday creativity.
i made this blanket last night for my sister in law's baby shower
and thought that maybe i would enter it in the contest...
purely out of curiousity, of course.
:)







i made this blanket before
but i cut the edges and tied them
to make a fringe
and sadly, it made the blanket
too small for my liking...

this time, i put batting inside and
tried to quilt it, kind of, i think....

this is how the back of it looked...

this was the homemade cross-stitch tag attached...

and a glimpse of the accompanying card...

and on the grateful friday side:
-a lent-to-me copy of "secret life of bees"
-the ownership of my magic-always-makes-me-feel-good-about-me jeans
-a baby shower full of laughter and fun and meeting new people
-a day off
-a husband's sweet support for my change of career
-an anticipated night out tomorrow night, even if it is only until 10:30
