Yay four non-smoking days!! I'm so glad I never picked up the habit, because I suspect I'd be really shit at quitting.
I made my sewing machine work! And tore up one dress so that it opens all the way on teh side (it stopped just before the armhole, with the zipper, and that was needlessly difficult to put on, so I opened it up and replaced the top bit with a snap) And I sewed pockets in two of my dresses! One is sort of a test dress...I bought it but it's more a tunic, and I'm not sure how to wear it (with a belt, but I can't figure out where to place one, thin or thick, what pants to wear under...) But now it has a pocket! AND I even figured out how to use a different sewing machine presser foot, so I could do fancy stitches! I feel so accomplished.
I have such a hard time wrapping my head around your mother's train of thought, p-c. It breaks my brain every time.
She's certainly not the first mother to pull the "You'll be happier when I'm dead!" card, though.
I'm reading the Game of Thrones books, and just got to a part that's making me all flaily and wanting to kick things and say, "You can't do that!" Then I need to remember that it's just a book.
But really. He can't do that!
The best my mother ever came up with was a tearful "Don't you love me?" to which I replied, "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to."
It really is the lion bit that makes it, though.

That's definitely a fresh angle on an old chestnut.
Hil, I'm willing to bet I know *exactly* what part you just read. Are you a little over halfway through book three?

Oof.

True, but I did set her up for that. Unintentionally.

Ha ha ha, Mark brings that up at every one of his events. I am dreadfully curious about whatever it is. But she's in
Clash of Kings.
I have ONE MORE BOOK to read in my queue, and then I start
Game of Thrones
! It's finally happening!

Nope. Close to the end of book two.
