How hard is it really?

How hard is it? If it doesn't belong to you, don't take it. Simple right? Apparently it is a concept we humans have one hell of a time understanding.
My nephews car was stolen today. He's 19 years old with a brand new job, trying to make it through college. Some jerk decides to steal his car. Granted it was a 1965 Mustang a highly iconic car, but really? It wasn't theirs to take and they did it anyway. How rude. How selfish. How mean.
And why? How will their life advance because of it? Probably not as much as the ride meant to my nephew. School and work are all he was able to do and now he may not be able to do that. HOW CRAPPY!
It really makes me mad, especially at this "time of year". We're supposed to be thinking of others dammit- not stealing cars and getting in to fist fights at Best Buy over what basically amounts to an expensive pile of crap. Now, that last bit didn't happen to me, but I saw it on the news and was once again dumbfounded at the selfishness and baseness of people. Merry Christmas- I punched a guy out to get you that - Don't I love you? Aren't I a great person? Ummm, NO! Hi! Kind of missed the point jackass!
GRRRR... I think I may boycott the whole gift giving thing this year- It's not like I could buy my nephew a car, a gift that would actually do some good and be appreciated.
People suck sometimes....crap.

Two Peas in a Pod

Happy Birthday to my pod-mate! My best friend! My better pod-half. Here's to our similarities and our differences- you are like the sister we never had- Thank you for being the amazing woman you are and for encouraging me to be a better one. I love you and I miss you terribly. As our lives have taken a new path I know that my fellow pea will always share a part of my life. Congrats on your birthday- enjoy! Love- Pea 1 (Hey I'm older! you're the smart one anyway!)

It's all in the coat...

Now in life there a great many mysteries- the mystery of the coat is one I LOVE to see. Each "generation" or so an actor comes along that knows how to wear clothes- no matter what you put on him they know how to carry it. And then there's the coat- you know what coat I'm talking about... THE COAT.

Andre and I had such fun fabric shopping and when he picked this out we both knew that it would be FABULOUS. (It's a heavy velveteen with a gold stencil pattern) I worked so hard on this coat and every finger prick was totally worth it. I am honestly proud of this coat. It is the kind of coat that would look good on a dressform. And the actor wearing it just takes it to a whole new level... This coat is on the same level as the "Hamlet" coat and "The Mr. Darcy walking in the mist" coat. I mean really...Those of you in the know, know what I'm talking about.

I hope that this coat is used again... I'm having a hard time not taking it home!

Here's to the "Mystery of the Coat!"... mmmmmm....

I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can...

There's a light at the end of the tunnel.... and it's getting bigger each day....

I realize I have been remiss in posting the last month or so but hey- no time. Well, I don't want to jinx anything, but we're almost done- and I think it just might be ok. Wow...again, not to spit in the eye of the universe or anything, but I think we might hae one heck of a nice looking show...

There's a light at the end of the tunnel.... and it's getting bigger each day.... umm... Did I just hear a train whistle?... oh crap...

2 down 2 to go-

Randy has been gone for 2 weeks- I've hardly seen my kids at all these last 2 weeks either.

I won't see them much for 2 more weeks and Randy will be gone until the 19th-

I'm still upstairs in the pseudo-shop and I'm so tired I'm numb. Oh well.

I miss my husband- I miss my kids. And what the hell and I going to cook for Thanksgiving dinner?? Oh crap...
