Nicholas turned 9 today. Yay! He got to choose dinner (McD), which we took home. I had cupcakes for us to eat afterwards. I put candles on his and light them, then turned off the lights, and Miss E and I sang to him. He was pretty excited. Then, since all his homework was done, we spent the evening playing board games and snuggling on the sofa. F got home and had presents. Apparently, unknown to me, Super N wanted something besides Legos; some sort of Star Wars game thing that plugs into the TV. Super N freaked out and leaped around the place once he unwrapped it. It was pretty awesome to see him be happy.

In fact, he's doing GREAT at school this week. I can't stop telling him how proud I am. He's even counseling Miss E to put on a happy face when she's being cranky at her teachers.

I just read ermine-rat's post about crazy seamstresses and 12th Night. I didn't intend to drive myself crazy with 12th Night projects. But ... I did.( Why am I wearing a bird cage and feathers on my head? )

To summarize: I'm not done. heh!

Basically, almost nothing is done, but everything is close to being done. Normally I'd be cracking my teeth with stress, but I'm feeling pretty up-beat about it. When pinned together it looks pretty cool. Plus, I'm working on sewing bits at night with my new copy of BSG. I'm working my way through season 1 and I still think 6 is a skank and Starbuck is hot. Apollo is painfully GQ. Daddy Adama is a powerful presence. I like how they cast Boomer.

Off to D'Salia's tonight to mark hems. do-dah, do-dah. She started her Ropa Sunday afternoon, discovered she'd left her sewing machine foot at the wrong place, and only had the materials and hand-work supplies. So she cut it out and started putting trim and pearls on it. Yowsa! It is beautiful. As of this afternoon, she's done except for her hem. Pearls, trim, construction, etc. She just blows me away.

Back to the salt mines.
