So the last few days have been pretty blech, missed a day of work because of a stomach bug (you would have thought I would have found time to blog), but I am back. I am all ready to do some crafting with of course the problem being I want to craft everything except what I should be crafting which is my Halloween costume. I want to be working on Christmas presents because I have all sorts of ideas, but Alex and I are going to a Halloween party on Saturday and I need my costume finished which means some hardcore crafting. *sigh*
Another issue with doing the Christmas crafting is that I currently lack a sewing machine. I have one, it is just broken. I have isolated the problem to the bobbins that I am using. I, of course, bought the absolute cheapest sewing machine possible when I bought mine so it is no longer manufactured, so when I broke and lost the original bobbins earlier this year I attempted to purchase new ones and bobbins are very specific. It is almost like buying ink for your printer. If you buy a super cheap off brand printer chances are some day you won't be able to find ink. So I got the bobbins that look right so every few stitches the machine will proceed to eat the fabric by pulling it down into the bobbin casing. Fun.
Off the topic of sewing machines and Christmas Presents, (Thanksgiving and Halloween are all like "WTF Christmas wait your turn"), Tomorrow I am going to start drinking ice water with lemon in the morning in addition to the regularly scheduled breakfast. It is supposed to be good for your immune system because of the vitamin C in the lemon and help boost weight loss and curb appetite, and some of the things I have read advise that you drink it while eating breakfast which is what I will do. I am not listening to nutjobs that say just drink something to stay alive. The main reason I am adding it is the increase in Vitamin C. I don't eat citrus fruits so I look at this as the worlds weakest lemonade with no sugar :).

As always I end today with the cute animal of the day:
