I've been wanting to set up a journal of sorts to keep track of my projects. I've got some albums on Facebook, but I suppose I want something a little more back-up-able.
So, since I don't have anything new that I started today, I'm going to just talk about me for a while (courtesy of what I've already got posted on FB).
I have a midget named The Midget who wishes he was Spiderman, Batman, Johnny Test, or Ben 10 (depends on the day which one he prefers). I like to shoot guns but don't because it scratches up my manicure. If I was rich, I'd eat Japanese food 7 days a week. I can bake like it's my profession, and my vacuum cleaner used to be the most important appliance in my life before we moved to Montana. Now, I have hardwood floors so it's not used quite as much. I have 4 nieces, 4 nephews (plus at least 1 more on the way), 4 sisters-in-law, 4 brothers and 4 brothers-in-law. I was in the Air Force (Nuclear, Biological, & Chemical Warfare), but now I'm just married to it. I'm from New York (the OTHER side of NY called "Upstate" although it's really WEST), but I consider Kansas home. I go to school for mathematics with the eventual goal of teaching at the high school level. I am a terminally horrific driver which is compounded by my equally terminal lack of sleep. I am a nerd and I laugh at my own nerdy jokes. I love the smell of bleach and I hate getting my hands dirty. I am the proud mother of a 2nd grader and I'm having growing pains letting him be a little man. I primarily quilt and cross stitch.
So, why "Pie in the (Big) Sky"? Well, I have a tendency to have amazing ideas that are frequently paired with an utter lack of desire to implement them. Of course, that is, until I decide I absolutely HAVE to do it, right away, right now, no second thoughts. Also, Montana is called "Big Sky Country." And then, much to my friend's disgust, I can shorten it down to "Pits," and I want to call my (future) little quilting group THE PITS with an exclamation mark where the dot is a tiny uppercase Q. As in, The Pie In The Sky Quilters. I love it. She hates it. I guess that's how life is sometimes.

I'm your first stalk....er, follower! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteI like the Pits thing. It's cool. And it just works.
Whenever we become official (and right now, "we" might be me and you) I'll get you a shirt.
ReplyDeleteRock on!
