The J-Spot :OooOooh! You found it!

I was Whiny McSnivelerson for the majority of November, but I've really just been happy lately. Relatively speaking, I don't have a whole lot to complain about. Which is a little unfortunate for blogging, I suppose, but nevertheless, here I am. :)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Here is the haul on my end.....

Sewing Machine. Huh? Yeah. A sewing machine. Now, I haven't really sewed all that much since Home Ec. classes, but I suppose I could take it up. I watch Project Runway Canada, so I'm practically...uhm... Dolce and Gabana? Yes, that'll do.
Silverware. Now, MW isn't all that excited about this, but I am. We have a lot of crappy silverware that I am looking foward to turfing once I get back.
Alarm clock/radio/ipod docking thingy. This is one of the few things I asked for. I currently listen to the radio using my Sony Walkman I got in 1994, plugged into computer speakers I stole from MW. So, this will be an upgrade.
ANOTHER Hummer Backpack. So, for those of you not in the know, a few years ago my mother, inexplicably bought me a backpack with HUMMER written in metal appliques on the front. I have no idea why. I don't drive, and if I did, I wouldn't be driving a Hummer, for a large multitude of reasons. Also, Hummer is obviously slang for oral sex (if you didn't already know). The strap on that backpack (which I used despite, and perhaps because of the absurdity of it) broke a while back. So, I asked my mother for a new backpack, using the unfortunate words of "you know, like my Hummer one". I meant the style (two straps, over the shoulders...the classic backpack..not those weird leather ones, or one strap, etc). She took me litterally though, so now I have another. And this time, it's yellow.

but you own a sewing machine now, so you can MAKE yourself a new bag! or like, sew a patch over the word Hummer. You can dye stuff too, I might recommend that.
If you'd like some lessons on sewing from a completely non-expert, I'm up for it!

I think the hardest part about sewing is learning how to thread the machine properly. After you've got that down, it's really just about trying to make sure everything is in a straight line.
I think I did pretty well for Christmas. I got a fancy flash for my camera and a hot pink bath robe.

Okay, so, we cracked open the sewing machine today. Megan, you are so right. We tried to figure out how to get the thread from the bobin to come out, and it nearly resulted in a fistfight. In the end, my father, of all people, figured it out. So, all in all, I'm already a little intimidated, but I know I have support out there. :)

The bobbin is probably the worst part.. I dislike it strongly. I am proficient enough at changing the thread at the top of the machine, but the bobbin gets me every time. Although, maybe if I was more domestic and used the sewing machine with any frequency I might be more adept at threading the thing.
