That’s Pulguito and Chunguita at Ravenswood Christmas. We went out to dinner last night, to Coco’s. They were terrible. They didn’t listen. They were LOUDLOUDLOUD, and at one point, Chunguita tackled Pulguito on the booth bench. We’re considering military school.

Today is a new day, and I’m abstinate so far. I decided I needed to leave work if I was going to stop eating the chocolate, so I finished up the xmas shopping … well, almost. I went to Mervyn’s which doesn’t have anything to eat, then to Target, which has a Starbuck’s. I stopped [...]

BIG SIGH. Someday, someday, I will take step one, admit that I am powerless over food, that it makes my life unmanageable. But that wasn’t this morning.

Gift Bag by neefer. Were you wondering if I was going to share the other side of the purse? I’ve been so busy. Chunguita has been sick with a tummy bug. We celebrated my birthday this weekend. I’m 40, today. Anyway, I celebrated on Saturday with DH, Chunguita, and Pulguito. They gave me an espresso [...]

Gift Bag Side 1 By Neefer. Things are so busy that I haven’t touched my sewing. My cutting table is covered with boxes that came in the mail for xmas gifts. I had a few seconds before the kids came home, so I snapped a couple of pix of the bag for you-all. The recipient [...]

I didn’t get any sewing done, but I took some time to photograph Kwik Sew 3222. It looks terrible on Buttina. Since Buttina is a Duct Tape Double of me, it should look the same, but I think it’s flattering on me.
