Myspace is evil

I have just signed up for myspace and already I am anoyed. I don't
want to know where all these people are. I am a really private person
and it just seems so weird that people want everyone to know
everything about them. I just have a few friends that I want to be in
touch with. I find myself getting sad when I find people that I
haven't seen in a long time. I guess that is how life goes. Friends
come and go and we learn from them and move on. I can never be too
attached.

Wear Thai Fisherman Pants - wikiHow

How to Wear Thai Fisherman Pants


from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Thai fisherman pants are worn by many people who aren't Thai fishermen because they're unisex, the material they are made with is lightweight and extremely comfortable, and the adjustable waist makes it perfect for women who are pregnant or for anyone who needs a wide range of movement without being confined by a waistband (such as when exercising or backpacking).[1] One size fits all, but figuring out how to tie these pants around your waist can be tricky without instructions.

Steps


  1. Put on the pants, and don't be surprised if the waistline is huge. Hold it up so that the pant legs are at desired length.
  2. Loosely hold one side in the middle and pull tightly the other side.
  3. Fold in the tight side towards the center, creating an angled crease along the length of your leg.
  4. Pull on the other side while holding the first fold in the center.
  5. Fold to the center, creating an angled crease along the length of your other leg.
  6. Hold the center with one hand while you use the other hand to locate one of the strings.
  7. Pull the string across your body and hold both the string and centered folds with that same arm.
  8. Locate the second string with your free hand.
  9. Pull the string around the other side so that it meets the first string.
  10. Tie the strings snuggly to one side.
  11. Fold down the excess cloth over the string.
    • If you prefer, you can tuck some of the cloth under the knot so that you can adjust the waistline easily.

  12. Enjoy wearing your comfortable pants!


Tips


  • In addition to adjusting the waistband, you can also adjust the length of the pants. If you want them a little longer, tie them at your hips; if you want them a little shorter, tie them at the smallest part of your waist (presuming you're not pregnant).
  • These pants can be found in coastal areas of Asian countries, and they can also be purchased online.
  • If you're learning how to sew, this makes a great beginner project. The most common material to make them from is cotton or rayon, but you can experiment with different fabrics and patterns.[2]

Moving time

We have run out of space in our two bedroom place. So the hunt begins.
Gotta start getting rid of stuff. Spent too long in this place
gathering too much stuff. Time to part with the belongings

Finding the time

I am finding that my list of things I want to do is growing and
growing but I am having a hard time finding the time to do it. I am
going to start sewing. I want to make my pin clothes. So sick of
spending money on clothes that suck. Need to find my own style again.
Feeling stuck in the mommy rut.

Remember life without kids. Sleeping until noon. Not having a budget.
Time for creative projects. Not doing laundry for weeks or dishes.
Quiet.
