I soooo do NOT do buttons.
Perhaps "sew" would have made a better pun...
Anyhow, you get my drift. Don't do them. Can't sew them on, and whenever I try they end up too tightly on so I can't get the dang buttonhole around them, and if I try to make them looser they end up falling off by the end of the day.
Can you tell who was given a Very Generous Grade in 7th grade HomeEc? Helped that Dad taught math right across the hall...my pancakes were called very "geometric"...it was the best compliment she could come up with. ...another story.
Okay...so why do I need to sew on a button?
Make that three.
I have to appear in court next Friday to finally put behind me the Nightmare That Just Will NOT End (aka Accident of 2006) and I am being flown down to Nashville by my insurance company for the proceedings. I suppose I ought to wear a suit. And the only suit I have...well, the jacket is missing three buttons.
So now to scrounge up three black buttons that actually match (this IS a Ralph Lauren suit...maybe 11 years old, but Lauren doesn't go out of style--does he???). Hmmm...one,....two.....three. Good. Found three in the kids' toys (they like to sort buttons...Nerd Training 101 starts weeeee early, you see....)
Now to find a needle and thread.
That may take some time.
Good thing I didn't put this off until next Thursday night at 10.
Bring it on over baby - I'll trade button sewing for Buckies!
ResponderEliminar:) Buttons for Buckies. Nice trademark. I like it.
ResponderEliminarWe'll have to see--K woke up throwing up again this morning at 3--she was up at 5:30 yesterday morning and played outside all day long until 8:00 last night. I totally saw it coming this time. Ugh.
Hope F is better today.
Ummmm, my mom sews my buttons. And if she won't my other mother will. I do not sew and made a mess out of some really pretty fabric I once tried to make a shirt out of. Oh well. There are other things in life.
ResponderEliminarYes, Z, my mom does buttons, too. In fact, she has a high-tech sewing machine that practically does it for you...and never lets me forget it! :) I should have learned. But I was also never really encouraged to be allowed to touch...kind of like me in Her Kitchen. Hence the New Reign of the Crock-Pot Queen.
ResponderEliminar...and my mom had never heard of a Crock-Pot until I started talking about it! JA!
Yes, there ARE other things in Life. Great perspective...thanks, Z!
