Bitch bitch bitch
I'm very tired, but I went home early this afternoon and slept for an hour and a half, so I'm thinking that going to bed early might not be a good idea. I don't want to be awake at 4am. I have felt sort of vaguely crappy all day - I think it's the sinuses creeping up on me again. Ugh.
I'm friendslocking this so I can bitch some more about Guppy and Joy's quilt, which is not quite finished and which I am terribly tired of. I have some pictures of the quilting I did yesterday on my camera but I am don't have the energy to upload them. Maybe tomorrow. All I have to do is a little more quilting and then sew on the label. I hope I can get this done in the next two days because my goal is to get it in the mail on Thursday. They are supposed to be home next Monday or Tuesday, so if I send it two-day it should be there when they get back. It really is a lovely quilt, don't get me wrong. I just am a lazy bitch and don't want to work on it any more!
Whew. I narrowly missed having a TUS assignment (here but I think you have to be registered to read it, and the people that are registered probably already know what I'm talking about) because of posting too much in the lobby and game threads. It's that wishing people happy birthday that gets me in trouble!
We didn't go to any movies this weekend - well, I didn't, anyway. Rob went to that Rob Zombie thing that I forget the name of ("Devil's Rejects", maybe?); I don't think he'd recommend it although I gather he thought it was somewhat amusing. I did finish reading the Harry Potter book and cried a great deal, which really did not improve my mood. I did like the book, on the whole, though.
I also watched "Love Actually" courtesy of Netflix, which is hardly a great work of art, but wasn't bad. I thought I was going to hate it at first because it was sort of twee and had too many plotlines, but I eventually got sucked in. I liked that they didn't feel compelled to wind all of those plotlines up neatly and happily. (I also watched the deleted scenes and all I can say is THANK GOD they cut the part about Liam Neeson's kid being a gymnast, because boy was that dumb.)

And, hello, you are not lazy. I can only imagine how much work you've already put into the quilt (because all I've done is send a couple of PMs and offer, lamely, to help as best someone with 10 thumbs can help). You make beautiful quilts, Mel, and if it takes another day or so, it takes another day or so. They'll be married for a good long time (at least a day or so beyond your stated deadline), so cut yourself a break already.
And in case I haven't said it before, thank you (all of you) for thinking this up and doing all, ALL, of the work. As soon as I figure out how to disable whatever it is that's preventing me from logging in to Flickr, I am certain that I will be even more impressed.

I saw the quilt pics and they are gorgeous. The last bit of any big project is always the worst, but it really is a beautiful piece of work, so be proud.

I am glad it's your turn with this project because with the quilting/life slump I'm in right now it might turn into a first anniversary present if it were in my hands--so anything you do sooner is a bonus, I figure.

WOW
