I have a cleaned off workspace in my dining room so that I can start Miss K's skirt. Friday morning Miss K and two of her friends are taking dance class in the morning to make up for a class that they have missed. Then we are going to take them to McD's and let them eat, play and run until they are about ready to drop. Then take them home and put them down for a nap. So, while Miss K naps, I will be cutting out my pattern and fabric. I'm a little nervous about this. This is the first time I've actually made a garment for someone to wear. I hope it turns out cute. I also got a plain white long sleeve t-shirt. I'm going to cut out a star in the same fabric and applique it to the front of the shirt. This is probably what she will wear to a couple of parties that we will be attending for Halloween. The director said they could wear their costumes to school, but I don't think that would be a good idea. So, the skirt will be a cute idea.
And, thank goodness I had to clean for bunco. I found a Gymboree receipt that I've been looking for. I need to return a couple of things I bought for K that don't fit and I couldn't find the receipt. I paid full price for them and now they are like 60% off.
Bunco went well. I ended up going with pizza which was not cheap because no one has that $5 for 5 special anymore. I spent $50 for pizza. Ick. That didn't include drinks, salad, dessert and alcohol. Bunco is not cheap. Thankfully...I'm done and I won't have to host again for another year!
I don't have a busy weekend planned. Brian is hosting poker at our house Saturday night, so I will have to do food for that. They are pretty easy though. He's also golfing on Sunday. My plans for this weekend are simple. Get the skirt done and start getting ready for vacation. I got notification that both of my bathing suit orders have shipped. I'm hoping that I can get over to the spa and get a pedicure before we head out Thursday. I am not looking forward to the drive, but I can not wait to get to Destin. I love the condo that we are staying in. We stayed there last year. When I told Miss K we were going to the beach she told me, "I want to go to the clean beach. I don't want to go to the dirty beach." I am assuming that by the dirty beach, she is referring to Galveston Island since that is where we went last year for vacation with the entire family. We went to Destin after we went to Galveston. (No offense to Galveston Island at all. I grew up there and spent many a summer on that beach. But Destin is so much prettier!)
I must go to sleep. I had one margarita and I feel like I drank a gallon. My head is already pounding. This means tomorrow will probably not start out so well. ARG.
Blog ya later.

Hi Holl! I wanted to comment on your last blog post. I have had sleep issues for about 15 years and about 6 months ago, my Pastors (that I work for) told me about Melatonin. You can get it for $5 at Walmart/Walgreens. I take 2 on a night that I am already a bit sleepy. If I'm wired, I take as many as 6. I know of someone that takes 9 per night. We are missing melatonin in our bodies so it is good to take it. It's all natural. It works better than any sleeping pill I've tried, except Ambien. You need to start slow and try taking 2. Then take one more each night until you find how many work. I love them because there is no grogginess the next day. At all. None.
Also, you should try CF Diet PEPSI. I don't like CF diet coke. It tastes dull to me. CF Diet Pepsi is sweeter. That's all I drink. Love, love, love it. I wish our Chick Fil A had a CF Diet drink! Mine has Diet Dr. P but it's got caffeine. But boy howdy do I love it. LOL
I'm so glad you are starting on the skirt...can't wait ot see it:)
