The one thing you shouldn't do while embroidering a pillow...
So I got a lot of embroidery done yesterday, and I was really happy, until I discovered that when I moved the hoop, I put it over both layers of the pillow, so now it's embroidered together. I'm just too annoyed to fix it yet haha. We didn't do too much this weekend, just wandered around, went to the mall and new boutique Jason just learned about. I'm really excited that I ordered that deer print on Friday. I can't wait to see it in the living room! I've been playing the Sims for most of the day today. That has to be the most addictive game on Earth. We have the original Sims, but we have the complete collection, so there's more to do than you ever have time to, since their needs are a constant job haha. I have several families, but the ones with kids are exhausting to keep up with, so I've been playing a couple in which the wife is a model. Making people famous is fun but time consuming haha. Now that I'm done nerding out, I'm happy to report that I've finished three books so far this summer. I read the new David Sedaris, which was hilarious, as usual. I also read another Augusten Burroughs. His writing is pretty similar to David Sedaris. The third book I read is the second book from the five "continuous novels" collectively known as Cities of the Interior. They're written by Anais Nin, and I actually started them when we moved here, but I put them down and picked them back up a couple of months ago. They're absolutely amazing, it's like poetry in the form of a novel (or five). But the problem is that even though I'm making progress, since they're all in the same book, I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Whenever people ask me what they're about, it's hard to answer, because nothing really happens in them. They are really just explorations of relationships and the internal lives of the characters. But, since I can't say enough about how much I love Anais Nin, I'll just say that they're great books.
