How much is a single digit worth?
How much is your middle finger worth? Is it worth more if someone takes it from you? How much would you pay to keep your middle finger? Is it $900? That seems like a lot of money. But middle fingers are important for many reasons. For example, one of my new life goals -- to possess this xray of my own hand:

September is National Sewing Month
Kim (transfixed on her computer screen) : September is National Sewing Month.
Alan (reading sports stats on his Iphone) : Well that's one to talk about around the water cooler tomorrow.
The little foot thing on my sewing machine popped off and my bobbin is all screwed up now. I think that I wasn't supposed to sew the elastic waistband with the machine or at least change the settings in some way. So many rookie mistakes! How about the fact that I didn't double the material when I layed out the pattern and only cut one of the "back panels" of the pants. This mistake created Alan's new PJ shorts, no longer had the material for pants. I was thinking about the bobbin while eating at the cousin's place. Too bad I stayed so late, I could have finished those pants.
Only the short pj pants' legs' hems and the finishing touches on the waistband left to sew! I hope to finish after work tomorrow, but I have to go into LA. I usually don't get much done on the days that I commute into LA. They don't look as gigantic with the elastic in the waistband. I couldn't have imagined them being the real size before. All I want to do is make a few simple garments, some crafts, and home decor (curtains and whatnot). It is going to take a few more pj pants for me to get some practice under my belt. Thank God for YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16pQfQBGA3g).
Until then...

Something's wrong with the size....
Alan's shorts on top of the pj shorts I am trying to make...
I am learning how to sew with my new sewing machine from Leslie and Jamie. Although I am a novice, my first attempt at pj pants (which quickly turned into PJ shorts after a rookie mistake), seem a wee bit large. Next time, I think I'll pick the "medium" size guide from the pattern.
So, I am going to "take in" the sides before I work with the elastic in the band. Hopefully, fixing up my mistake won't take that long. Some one-hour pattern! I'm two days deep into this one.

Starting a New Blog
http://kiminlasvegas.blogspot.com/?spref=gb
is the old blog.... Soon, I'll figure out how to access that one from my other account, but until then some updates:
1. Diet is going well, excercise is even better.
2. Becoming a McBroom involves a new social security card, driver's license, and changing my name with my company, bills, etc.... Oy vey!
3. I still owe Alan a love letter.
4. I am reading a crappy mystery novel, but what else is new? I need something "hard" to read! I'm going to checkout Goodreads.com and see if my friends have any suggestions.
5. Some pictures of McBrooms i found in a Google Image search:

Some Gal Art Some Guy Some much taller gal...
Which McBroom are you? Today, I am the second pictured ("art"). I just feel like I look more like the art than the other McBrooms. What do you think.
