Sewicked’s crafty look at my life

What is wrong with me? It’s not even 9 pm & I’ve been thinking about going to sleep for the past 30 minutes. Actually, I’ve been thinking about it longer than that, but earlier it was in the ‘maybe I should take a nap’ phase. I was going to watch Death Takes a Holiday but I decided that was too intense for me tonight. I’d like to see it someday. Well, I need to take my clothes out of the dryer and wrap late Christmas presents.

Maybe I’ll tape Supernatural, it’s a great show but I can’t watch it when I’m alone in the house. I can’t go to sleep for hours. I have to watch something else to calm down the creepies.

Should I be glad or alarmed that absolutely no one has viewed my profile? There’s the comfort of anonymity opposed by desire to be interesting and thus viewed.

I’d better set up the taping, I really can’t watch this show & get to sleep tonight. Oh good, it’s a repeat. As soon as I watch the first few minutes, I’m off to bed & sleep.

Okay, I’m almost finished celebrating Christmas. I spent Christmas eve opening presents at my brother’s house, with brother, SIL,niece, Dad & Stepmom in attendance. I did fairly well with most of the presents. I found some really unique frames, a very soft teddy bear, great cd of jokes, and a book on how to knit. Other than spending time with family, which was great, I think that the best present that I received was the shawl. It’s purple, soft & very warm. It’s perfect for lounging around in, say when I’m updating my blog.

I spent some time with Dad & Kathy on Christmas morning & then drove home. I ate supper with Chris & his family. It was really good food but I was so tired that I ate & ran. It was better to eat & run than to fall asleep driving home.

My secret santa from that tatters’ group was Teresa W. She sent me some great stuff. I only hope that my partner enjoys what I sent her. Apparently it hasn’t arrived yet.

I still haven’t distributed the ornaments that I made for my neighbors. Ditto I didn’t mail out the ornaments, etc to former co-workers, etc. Julie P came by. Turns out she doesn’t work there anymore. She was just picking up her birthday present (which I think that I sent out in October). She gave me 2 great tatting books, some homemade raspberry jam and some bread. I can’t wait to dip into it.

Went to see Chronicles of Narnia: Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Wow, they did a really great job. It’s been years since I’ve read the books but they definitely hit all the highlights. They even brought up a few things that I’d forgotten. I could go see it again, and I’m eagerly awaiting to see which movie they make next.

Some of the previews were interesting. At least one, I can’t wait to see it…when it comes on Spike TV. It’s called Benchwarmers & it’s a movie about baseball underdogs. It looks pretty stupid & pretty entertaining.

It’s almost 3 pm, I have the day off & the only things I’ve gotten done are to get my oil changed & to type up another session of Mutants & Masterminds notes. I only have 3 more sessions to type up (until Thursday, then I’ll have 4).
