What'll I do?

My bestie is gone for the next three weeks, or twenty-two days to be exact. She's being a good person and going on a mission trip in Uganda. This isn't a huge surprise, obviously; it's been in the works for the last year or so. But she just left this morning, and I just came to the realization this afternoon that I don't have anyone to hang out with for the next three weeks. Unfortunately, since the whole pregnancy thing came up, she's kind of the only person that I ever hang out with, or really go anywhere with, other than my dad. Don't get me wrong, my dad's great and all, but he's not quite the same.

So then the challenge becomes, what'll I do for the next twenty-two days to get the time to pass a touch faster? I know work will come in handy for some of that, but then there's the rest of it.

I've come up with a fun idea, that will more than likely blow-up in my face: A twenty-two day sewing challenge. The idea is the complete one of the projects on my list of baby things every one or two days (depending on the level of difficulty) until bestie comes back. 

So yeah. I've gotten most of it setup on Pinterest, as seen here. 

More to come.

So unfortunately over two weeks without a day off has mucked up the blogging attempts, however, I am happy to say that I have the next two days off, and will be thrilled to get back on the baby mission. We're at 28 weeks now, and so we're getting down to the wire to get everything setup and taken care of. 

Additionally, I really do have pictures of the munchkin gown that I made from that tutorial, however, my card reader has disappeared. Therefore, I am having difficulties uploading pictures. Bare with me while we try to resolve this minor issue. I promise, it will be worth it. Not to mention, at this rate, I will have way more to post once I can actually upload pictures. Lots to look forward to.

However, now of that matters. What I wanted to say is this:

On April 23rd, 2013, two of my favorite authors are each releasing a new book. Augusten Burroughs is putting out his 10th Anniversary Edition of Dry:

Dry by Augusten Burroughs

And David Sedaris is putting out his new book Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls:

More to come.
