I've always stated that I am the QUEEN of procrastination. And I'm still convinced that I hold that title. Not only did I NOT finish my daughter's maternity dress yesterday as planned, but it is now 8:15 PM and I haven't started sewing on either that or the wedding gown as planned. Yea, I did a couple of chores around the house that needed done but that's not the point. I am going to re-set goals here, finish the maternity dress tonight - and work on the wedding gown on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. That way I'll still have it done by this weekend, and that's the ultimate goal, after all.
The reason I didn't sew yesterday as planned is because a friend G and I wen
t to the local baseball game - and decided to leave earlier than originally planned. We got a great parking spot, and the game was very good. The weather cooperated too - it was a lovely evening to be sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere of the baseball park. I met up with a couple of co-workers and their families, and that was nice, plus had a delicious ice cream cone. However, the real fun happened as we were walking back to our car. We took a short-cut through a parking lot and discovered, once we got to the end of that lot, that there was a railing and a 3-4 foot drop down to the next parking lot en route to the car. G climbed through the railing and jumped down. I fought the urge to turn around and walk the whole way back and go around the lot - and did the same thing! As I was crawling through the rails, my cell phone went off - so we were giggling to "Mama Mia" while I was jumping down the drop and then collecting our things from wall where we'd set them.

Well, I did enjoy having my daughter and son-in-law stop by to rescue me. I was attempting to install my own programmable thermostat - how hard can it be! I ran into one small hitch, tried calling the customer service number and got nowhere, so called in the family electrician instead. I still need to go over the programming but at least it's installed. It was great seeing them (and my growing grand-baby-to-be), chatted with them some about some new things going on in their lives, and planning some future things with them. It's truly a joy to see the two of them so happy with each other, things are going well for them and their growing family - I love both of them so much. Work was ok today - not too stressful and I did receive a couple of compliments from customer and one of my bosses on some work I had completed - so that's a good thing. The constant noise from "the other side of the wall" was still a problem, and I have no idea if and when any of that will ever change. So I'm trying hard to focus on changing ME and how I deal with it. But I'm not sure I'm winning that one.
I DID have a lovely chat with the attendant at the Costco gas pump when I went at lunchtime. That sounds like a small thing but I'll find a happy moment whenever I can.
Going off to do a few things, perhaps sew? More blogging soon, I promise.
