I hate cutting things out. It is truly one of the worst things when it comes to crafts and or sewing that deals with fabric! - this rant brought to you because my hand hurts. 5 pj bottoms cut out. Two more to go. Then hopefully my serger wants to play right.
I'm in a bit of a slump because my three day weekend just passed and I was hoping to get a lot more done creatively. I did do quite a bit of research but nothing hands on. All my energy was put into house remodels. With help from my Dad we took the wall unit swamp cooler out and put in a roof unit, new air duct and all. Of course when you take a wall unit out it leaves a hole in your wall. So we had to patch that also. All that is left is to run the water line and power to the roof unit and texture and paint the wall. Thankfully it's Fall and past swamp cooler time so the first two don't have to be done till Spring. The last one should be done by Sunday at latest.
I guess I lied a little about not getting to do anything creative. I have been making myself do a little cross stitching every day, even if its just a few lines. So I have more then just the big orange blob, I showed you last time. I have several blobs!

Here is my attempt at summing up everything from the past few weeks.

Lets see... we have been staying between my parents house and Chris'.  Unfortunatly for me more at his house. This irritates me immensely.  I am seeing more and more the cultural difference and differences in the way we were raised. This was of course never a problem while we lived in Japan. Now that we are closer though.... Problems galore. I am hoping when we finally get settled in San Diego these will go away... I have a feeling they won't though. Which really really irriates me. Enough with that though because that is a rant in and of itself.
We found an apartment. It is in the same complex as good friends, which is a bonus.  We decided on it mostly because of location, because they take pets, and the niceness of the complex. Like I said friends living there is a big bonus though.
Last weekend was comic con. I think next year I am ditching my hubby.... maybe not. Like I mentioned earlier his family issues has been causing alot of problems and he may not be such a grouchy burden next time. Besides him and attempting to keep him happy I had fun. My costume was more then simple. A Dr. Horrible groupie. :)  If you haven't seen this web based show try and find it. VERY VERY funny. I was able to meet up with Avien and Ryhnn and bum around with them. Avien wore her Dr. Who costume. I love LOVE love her coat. There were about 4 panels I really really enjoyed. I LOVED the masquerade. Some of the people seated around us were kind of brutal to what was on screen... and I must admit there were a few that I was embarrassed for them. But there were also alot that were really good. My favorites were

And because I have lost all sense I have decided trying to get one project done before movers come is not enough. I have also been working away on two cross stitches. One is a baby bib for my Aunt. I don't have a picture of that one because it is at my friends house. The other is a cross stitch for said friend.  I took the picture without a flash becuase the flash drowned out some of the lighter colors.
 
To let all my LJ friends know next Wesnesday (Tuesday for those in the states) I will lose my computer and Friday the internet. From then until the end of August-Early Septermber I will not have steady access to the internet. So I will be checking here... because lets face it I am addicted, but may not have time to reply and enjoy myself. :( So please be patient and give time for replies!
