You're In My Thoughts, Controlling My Mind
The mood in our house over the last couple of days has been buzzing all types of awesome and horrible. Generally, it's been... different. It's like everything has completely changed.

Firstly, Fable II has taken over the household. Mum would be the only person who hasn't had a go. And even then, she has been known to sit around watching for an hour (or two) at a time. Even the dog's tried to 'be the Hero you can be'. Sadly, much like Zach and singstar, Archie appears to play better than me. Though, he's a far cry from talented.

The farting's almost completely gone. And I should know. Over the last week he's been a seemingly permanent accessory for my ankles. To be honest, he's much better than the shiny silver anklet I wore for years. He's warm.

Unlike the dog, the sewing machine has been zzzzzing away quite a bit. If I do say so myself, my sewing's getting pretty good. I've got a skirt and a (perfectly fitted) dress hanging in my wardrobe just waiting for another weekend spent in town. I seem to have picked up a keen interest in interfacing. The iron-on stuff's fun. Next thing you know I'll be living among the fabrics at spotlight.

Though, today I've been working on my costume for our (Kristin, Jo and me) birthday/Halloween get together on Friday. The theme's Nightmare Before Christmas, the Tim Burton film, and my costume is completely handmade. No machine stitching. Nadda. If you're lucky you'll get photos of the night. Also, please don't be offended if you haven't been invited - numbers are limited, but we still love you all beyond measure. Well, some of you. (Kidding).

In an attempt to take my mind off boys and to ease my cramping fingers (from the costume! God, get your head out of the gutter!) we made the trip down to the video store and supermarket (for treats!). So... we've basically spent the whole night watching season one of Weeds. I've still got one (two?) episodes left so shhhh, don't spoil it if you've seen it. But it's definitely better than I figured it would be. Desperate Housewives with weed. Thumbs up. With giggles.

And to finish it off - goals!

• Be more spontaneous
• Find my pin holder (so I can stop finding pins with my feet)
• Stop breaking out in a cold sweat when someone asks to borrow my textbook(s)
• Get some decent underwear
