sierciaThere was no dinner tantrum. My Dad showed up and we ordered Indian food, which was yummy. Widget seemed to like the chicken tikka masala that I gave her, and she grooved on the naan as well. Only ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lorac and William and rainy showed up, so it was a quiet and restful evening as well. I got to play super puzzle fighter, which I love - and even my dad played it for a while (He was even *good* at it).
Solved a problems for a co-worker who was an hour away from his computer and couldn't do it himself. It only took 20 minutes out of my evening, and saved his butt, so that was good thing. If nothing else, it makes up for my having been snappish with him earlier in the week
In other news, I only have one butterfly left, and I'll be done with the "companion" piece for Widget's birth sampler. I customized the birth sampler - did it on lavender cloth, with bright bold colors instead of the pastels shown in the model, and I think they'll go very nicely together in matching frames in her room, especially if I can ever get to whitewashing her room and doing it in the color scheme I think I want. I've been surprised how fast my stitching projects have been going lately, but I think I've concluded that the reason is simply that I spend more time at home in the evenings these days, and I'd rather stitch than do housework... so I end up stitching.
Well, I should go get the sheets for rainy's bed, and then head off to bed myself. Night.
