Wednesday's List

Here in D.C., on Channel 4 we have Wednesday's Child, which is a news feature about a child in the area who needs to be adopted or fostered.  I feel a little lame adapting the title for my own blog, but it just came to me.  It is nowhere near as important, believe me.

  • Had moving on my mind again.  What's that you say?  It hasn't yet been four months since my last move?  Well too bad, the weather is making me itchy and I'm ready to go again.  (Portland?  Oxford?  Back to Savannah?  Charlotte?  Paris?  Boston?  I don't know!)
  • Speaking of moving, I've yet to change my license to Maryland from Florida.  Does anyone know if there are penalties for going over the 60-day threshold?  I emailed the MVA about it but who knows when I'll hear back.  We're going this weekend, regardless.
  • Megabus is having a $1 on routes from Pittsburgh.  I'm not in Pittsburgh, but it did inspire me to look around, and Nicholas and I can head to Philly for under $30 round trip.  I think we may do that once it's warm (officially.  No more flip-flopping).
  • Also: NYC.
  • Liesl Gibson's Modern Workshop line started shipping today, and Fat Quarter Shop already has it up on their website.  I bought the charm pack and am all too excited to buy some yardage now. 
  • I'm consistently 10-40 points behind everyone in Words With Friends.  I promise I'm smart and have an extensive vocabulary.  I think it's my aversion to competition that holds me back.
  • Pinterest has been my latest obsession.  I need some more people to follow so please don't be shy!
  • My day has been consumed by Excel.  Damn you, spreadsheets.
And that's about it.  Work, work, work, that's all I do.  Oh, and laze around the apartment.  I can't seem to be motivated this week.  Maybe it's leftover anxiety from last week that just won't go away.  Any suggestions on motivation?

Friday Friday

Man, still no followers.  I'm getting a little discouraged over here.

This Friday has dragged.  If I could manually stretch out the letters there, I would.  I feel like I've been at work forever.  It's probably only because Jake and Kali are en route to BWI as I type, so I'm naturally a little anxious, but there's no need to really rush home because it'll take another hour from the airport to my apartment, and by then I'll be home even if I leave late.  Which I won't.

I'll keep it light, because I'd like to get back to my blogs, but also because I accidentally took a picture of myself on my phone with flash and I'm temporarily blind.
  • I bought these fabrics today:
Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2 Collection Lattice and Cloud9's Naturewalk Collection.  Both are from Hawthorne Threads, which I love.  It bums me out that DC's seriously lacking in the fabric store department (StitchDC will never see my pretty little face again) but then I remember that I have great online fabric stores to sift through until I'm back home in the textile-rich South.
  • Is anyone else dying to get out of town?  I think the cold snap has given me cabin fever.  Too bad gas is practically the price of gold or I'd hoof it to Philly or Charlottesville for the weekend.
  • I can't sew again until the middle of next week because of the wonderful visit.  I love Jake and Kali; please don't get me wrong!  But I miss my sewing.
  • I think I've eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every single day this week.  I'm eleven.
So that's that.  I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, and I'll see everyone on Tuesday!
