At Least I Got Something Right

A few of us at work decided to go on Yahoo and fill out our brackets for the NCAA tournament. I'm not doing too bad...I'm in 4th place. Out of 13! I was just looking at my bracket and I had to brag about the South. Check me out! Except for Memphis beating Texas, I predicted the South perfectly! WOW!

Sew Sore!

A few weeks ago my mom and I were browsing around in the craft section of Wal-Mart and I found a little kit to make a duffle bag. All you have to do is cut out all of the pieces and then sew them together. That can't be too hard! Yeah, so this is my second night working on the bag and I'm on step 2. Last night I sewed the body of the bag to the zipper. Not too bad looking....and it was my first time ever sewing a zipper so I'm kind of happy. Tonight I started working on the straps to the bag. The straps are long, narrow pieces of fabric that you fold in half and then sew shut so it's a long tube. I guess that's the best way to describe it. Then you turn the tube inside out, which hides the seam on the inside and shows the pretty side of the fabric. Yeah, turning it inside out is a bitch. I've worked about 1 1/2 hours on this and I'm not done with one strap! My poor little fingers are hurting! Oh well...I'm sure when this bag is done all this time will have been worth it...right?

That Really Shakes My Martini

The other day at work I was a little aggravated about something, and instead of saying that it pissed me off, I said it really buttered my biscuits. We all laughed about it, and then started to think of other things to say that followed along the same line. Boy, that really fries my bacon! That really scrambled my eggs! Then we started on non-food related lines. That really reformatted my hard drive - okay, we're a little geeky sometimes. The one I came up with - the title of this blog. And that's a good thing. It really shakes my martini!
