Insane Project OTD

I am going to make a dress in less than 24 hours.

I've bought the material.

I had to rebuy the pattern because Warren threw out the one I was going to use.

The material is in the washer in the hot cycle so I can preshrink it before I sew it.

Warren has seen me crank out much more difficult projects in this kind of timeframe. I'm guesstimating a maximum of two hours, including cutting time, for this dress.

What makes this project so insane is I'm fighting off a stomach virus. Yesterday, my last day off this year, I was supposed to get together with a bunch of friends for brunch or dinner. Instead, I was in bed, sometimes screaming in pain, in between trips to the bathroom. In spite of being ill, I worked overtime today.

Wish me luck.

ummm . . . listened to you today at work . . . you _sounded_ stressed or maybe I just caught you at a bad time, then again, listening to you read off all those traffic reports . . . wow there was a lot of bad trouble spots today . . .

in any event hang in there and good luck with the dress

You'd be stressed too if the station owner and your boss kept calling.

My boss "corrected" my pronunciation of "deluge." I said "deh-LOOJ." He insisted it was pronounced "DEH-lyoozh."

I looked it up on Webster's Online Dictionary (http://www.m-w.com). Turns out we were both right. I printed the page and left it for him. :-)
