I found the idea to use the poly piping from these two, but I think my pipe is different and I have some thing better to connect the two pieces together that wont leave bumps like duck tape, as well it will make a better circle.

I got 100 feet from Home Hardware I was worried being in the small town I wouldn't be able to find it but the town is full of friendly and helpful. There was a couple options and I went with the cheaper and more flexible plastic. 14.99 for 100 ft and I got 10 conecters for 79 cents each.

The piping was very dirty so I sprayed it off with the hose and then set it in the library to dry.

I finally remembered the name of the 3book's Ive been wanting to order but unfortunately they are much to out of my price range for now.
I really want the Jean Hunnisett books

Long day is long

Today just felt like everything went wrong

1 once I started working on my stuff since it was set up my aunt barely explained that I had to move my stuff to the other room, which I figured would have been better but what ever what do I know

2 I had to be picked up from work

3 my uncle and aunt keep treating me more like a 16 year old then a 25 year old when I help around the house and I work full time ???? let me do my own thing I thought that was the plan?

4 My mom is going to take the time off to come up for Turkey day but now my aunt and uncle might be going down to pick up my uncles mom to live here till the old people home near here has an opening. To tell you the truth I would not have chosen to live here If I had known that she was coming it is to much to deal with and adjust to specially when I was told I'd have a vehical to drive when ever and that isnt the case.

Work was nice Nat and Richard are easy going and fun to work with, I discovered a halloween party to attend and Richard says I can go with him and his wife so I don't have to seem like a weirdo with my cousin or by my self. Probably going to start excersising cause the no sugar isn't working, so I can wear wonder woman to the party.

After work I just got more irritated after laughing all night, my uncle made me drive standard home and was saying we have to stop using the truck but I don't see why if I'm the one paying for gas.

Then my friend Maridah tagged me in some photos that made my night, and I am going to drink a cider and read before bed and then hope to have a better day tomorrow.

Grouchy face

XD

Catch up

Didn't get to post yesterday, It was very difficult to get my pattern table set up since baby Brody was still here I needed aunt's assistance and I couldn't wake him up and it was raining. But I finally did and I will post a pic of my space some time soon.

I'm getting more and more annoyed with not being on my own any more and being treated like a child I have to cut back my showers and they have never been longer then 15 minutes and thats my wake up time. My uncle expects me to know everything about how he likes things like leaving the keys in the truck, who dose that and how would I know? their internet is dam slow. And just now he said I left a door to the truck open after everything..... really? cause I closed all the doors and he said the light would have been on ??? I don't think so. I also have to just take some time and drive standard my self I cant do it with him for a while.

Thats enough complaining I'm blessed just annoyed and need an outlet I don't have anyone up here to talk to so this is my out let?

I started preliminary's for the Cobra side bag I'm making for a winner of a Deviant art contest winer, and I need to finish the patter for a girl for a plug suit.

I'm also working on a steampunk costume and going to start my Halloween costume Nurse Chapel from Startrek :)

that shows me being like arg world 

Sleepy

Not much today other then the kids are sleeping over so I have a snuggle buddy names Fesik ( named after Andrey the giants character in the Princess Bride ) ( sorry if thats all spelled wrong) a little fussy Pomeranian. But he loves me :)

Worked a closing shift, the girl showing me to close did most the closing things but I can pick up more of it next time cause I  close alone soon I think :/

Tomorrow I set up my sewing room period !!!!

yeah 

Day three at Bill'ys and Learning to drive standard

I forgot to mention I'm learning to drive standard and have been for the past few days ^_^ I think I'm picking it up pretty well but my uncle is a little annoying when it comes to teaching the first day he had a lollipop in his mouth which was just frustrating, and he repeats not to let the clutch off to fast which is impossible when his clutch basically pushes your foot off. I get frustrated when I don't know something and between driving and the restaurant its been a huge test my aunt hasn't gone threw how to do things its learning on the spot and when it is as busy as it was to day and I can't get her attention its frustrating I would rather her just tell me how to do it all first and show me so I'm prepared.

Tomorrow I wanted to set up my sewing room but apparently I will be helping with the yard sale so I hope that is not to long so I can do it after wards. I agree to do yard sales and stuff so I can meet the people around town, and get to know everyone and so people don't stare at me like who's that ??

any one today was pretty frustrating but now its time for a movie and reading maybe then sleep with my mound of teddy's

and I like leaving you with photos so here is how I feel today ( I will be leaving you kitty photos with posts)
