Mistakes were made

Did you know that you can get 50 chicken nuggets from McDonald's for ten dollars? When Saturday started, I didn't either, but by the end of it, I knew all to well.

I got a call in the afternoon from my friend Foxx, who was in town and wanted to hang out. When she got to my house, she mentioned that her brother had gotten the 50 nuggets, and that it seemed like a pretty funny thing to eat. We were all hungry, so we decided to get the deal and split them between myself, Foxx and my roommate.

50 nuggets between 3 people comes out to about 16-17 per person.

My roommate Corky ate his 17 like a champ.


I struggled through mine, but managed to make it.


Foxx, however, couldn't do it, and gave up like a baby.

Although, maybe it was for the best. She probably has more sense than my roommate or I.

Later that night I went to Modern Domestic for the PMQG sewing night, and had a great time, even if I was overly full of chicken nuggets. I started cutting the pieces for my Project Modern quilt, as it was the only portable project I have going.

I've gotten a bit further on the scrap quilt, and I like the unexpected color combos I'm getting by combining things randomly.

Pleasure Cruise

Now, I have a quilt top that I need to baste. I cannot start my Project Modern quilt before I baste, quilt and bind that sucker.

La de da, I can't hear you! I'm going to work on something totally pointless!

I had a ton of scraps left over from my Hey Cherri quilt, and the quilt top I need to quilt, so I've just been sewing pieces of fabric together for the heck of it. I have no real plan. It's a weird feeling.


These will be something, someday. Maybe.

I also started my regular (non-camp) job up again today. It was okay. I like my job, but it's a painfully long time until next summer. My boss is out of the office for the rest of the week, so it's just going to be me. I think pajama work days are in order!
