Ugh. I can't figure out how to sew on weeknights. I so wish I could! Maybe in my next life I won't have this commute.

and then there's reality..

actually, no sewing happened last night. I went to grocery store, went to gym and wore myself out on stair climber. Totally exhausted myself... came home and barely stayed awake to talk to hubby...

ah well, I don't have infinite energy anymore. But I'm gong to try and do some of that Friday night and then Saturday super early in the morning. Plus it looks like I"ll have time on Sunday.
