New stuff to do

Another thing I forgot was that we got this pack of coupons in the mail a couple days ago. It wasn't the val-u-pak ones, and it was addressed to people with really strange names, but hey, whatever. We looked through them and found 3 good things:
1) An advertisement for a cool Japenese resturant on the East Side. I put that in my calendar for December, so we'll try it out then.
2) Found an add for a spa that has an "all day" treatment (probably only like 6 hours) for only $225. M mentioned that I should take 11/30 off from work - I'm getting my bracelet off, and I should go celebrate. I agree. I'm going to go get all worked over and then look completely fabu for when I go out that Friday and then for a party held at Roswell's place on Saturday!
3) There was an advertisement for The Vinery Stained Glass Studio. They have classes where you make stained glass stuff - panels, lampshades, boxes, cabinet door inlays, etc. SOOOO cool. I can't wait until I get off this bracelet, cuz I totally want to try that! I really love stained glass, and how completely awesome would it be to make your own cabinet door inlays for the kitchen of the house that the fiancé and I will buy in a few years???
I also have fabrics squares that I've cut out and have been meaning to sew into a quilt for the past, oh, decade (no, I'm 100% serious). So add this to the canning and scrapbooking and cleaning and selling of stuff that I've been wanting to do, and I've got a lot of options for the way that I spend my time.
Though, I still complain about this bracelet crap to the fiancé and in this blog, and will continue to complain, but at least I'll be a little less vocal about it :P

We could totally have a quilting day. I have books and I want to make a breast cancer quilt out of my t-shirts.

WE could have a planning day, then maybe I could go out and buy some complementary fabric and we could do it again.

That would be fun! I have some fabric, but I'm afraid that after a decade it's thin and the quality isn't so good. So perhaps some new fabric would be nice :)

I think Laima has taken a class at the Vinery (or maybe somewhere similar) and liked it - sounds cool. Too bad I'm scared of most high-voltage and/or hot equipment due to excessive uncoordination. Tackling the fear-of-quitting-the-job and fear-of-bicycling issues have fulfilled my overcoming fears quota for the year. I might have to tackle the electrical equipment fears next year :) Count me in on the sewing-related crafts, though. I feel relatively safe with just a needle ...
