Things are moving slowly!

I'm starting my third week of anti-viral medication and my third week off work.  In theory it sounds great to say I sure wish I could stay home in my jammies and sleep as often as I want....in reality it's booooooring.  Not that I'm feeling rushed to get back to work or anything, but the medication schedule is a little trying.  I get my meds by PICC line three times a day....6am, 2pm, and 10 pm....every single day.  I will be done with that Wednesday night.  I'm looking forward to sending my iv pole and pump back to the hospital....I am NOT looking forward to having my PICC line removed.  *L*
I've been doing a tiny bit of sewing.  Prior to getting sick I had signed up for three craft swaps on Craftster.org.  I finished up one swap (mug rugs...so cute....little quilts used as coasters...love them).  The second is a post-apocalyptic swap.  This one is taking more time than I had anticipated.  I am my own worst critic, so several of the projects I'm working on for this have been restarted, taken apart and recrafted.  The last swap is a roller derby swap...because I long to be a roller derby girl!  *L*
THEN, my husband and daughter are going to an anime convention in April...they go every year.  They are trying to talk me into going with.  My husband is putting together a steampunk outfit for himself....I told him I'd help by sewing him a coat and a vest.  My daughter changes her mind every other day on what anime character she'd like to be.

Here's a picture of the costume I made for her last year....
This is what I used as reference

Poor kid was soo sick, but she'd paid for her
convention ticket so she was going to go...no matter WHAT!!

She wore it all weekend and got her picture taken A LOT!

Had a long weekend

I got to enjoy a 4 day weekend at home with my family.  I did a whole lot of stuff....did my daughters nails (twice because she broke one), dyed her hair purple.  My mom came over and I did her nails...first time ever she's had acrylic nails on...she's hooked I think!  She stayed for about 4 hours or so just to visit.  I hung out with my husband and my son let me use his computer to play Left 4 Dead 2.  Boy am I terrible at first person shooter games.  However, they are my husbands favorite types of computer games so if I wanna play a game with him, I'm gonna have to brush up on my zombie killing skills.  *L*  I gave my hubby a shave and a haircut so it looks like someone cares about him now.
I thought I would share a few things from around my house today...so here are 5...count them....5 vaguely interesting things about me....
This is the empty space my 32 inch flat screen used to occupy in my bedroom for the many nights I can't sleep....we had a quick little power surge that knocked to power out for about 5 seconds....it was enough to kill my TV.  *sigh*
I have the absolute best husband in the entire world.  He puts up with my strange behavior and weird obsessions and loves me still.  *L*  I got a wild hair one day and decided I simply HAD to paint our master bathroom hot pink....he took me straight to the store for paint!
These are little love notes from my hubby....they are currently stuck to the wall under my bathroom mirror.  But originally they were stuck all over the house....under my bathrobe, in the fridge, on my sewing machine...he's the best!!  He does this kind of stuff a lot...enough that it makes my friends make retching noises when I tell them about it.....so you'd think I'd be used to it...but I am constantly amazed and how much he loves me and how often he shows me.  I ain't kidding around when I say I'm spoiled rotten!!
Though I hate to admit it....this is what my craft room usually looks like!!  A huge disaster.  The cutting table in the middle there is sort of like the straw game where you have to pull a straw without knocking any others over.  There are scissors, pins, clothing projects, nail stuff, glass beads, my husband drawing tablet...pick a thing and I could probably find it on that table!!  *L*
And this....this is what my kids call "The Chair of Power"!!!  It's mine..no one else is allowed to sit in it but me.  My laptop is there, my glasses are there, usually a water bottle, almost always at least one bottle of nail polish.  When I'm done working and done crafting....this is where I rule my home from....it's also where I tend to fall asleep if I kick the foot rest up...so I try not to do that to often.  My children LOVE to let me know I snore!  *L*
