Horror Weekend

My week just got worse when the weekend arrived.
After my trials and tribulations with the Muffia, I was looking forward to working at V & B all weekend and playing with the china, including the cute Easter range, some of which is pictured above.
The sister of my high school best friend and bridesmaid came in to buy some china and I asked her how my friend was as I hadn't seen her for a while. The sister looks at me like I am insane and says "She isn't with us anymore". So I ask "Where has she gone?" "She died."
Even worse, I find out that she died six months ago. The girl who was assigned to call me never called to let me know.
As you can imagine I was stumbling around the rest of the day in shock.
The next day I was on my way to work and the bloody train was late. I got there at 11.45 and it arrived at 12.35. I started work at 1 so was starting to panic. After one station we all get kicked off the train because somebody has committed suicide on the tracks.
Later on, back at home I smell gas but that happens sometimes when the hot water is on. This keeps getting stronger and stronger and I am starting to feel sick and light headed. I go and check the stove and one of the burners is turned to on but not lit.
There could have been four more fatalities, thank God I discovered the burner. No idea how this got turned on. You have to push in and turn to make it work so I don't think I did it when I was cleaning the stove top.
I just pray that this will be a better week.

I thought I'd have some stitchy news to blog about but I don't. I woke up and said I would spend the entire day stitching but then looked around and decided to clean. Once that got done my cousin was next door with the "new" baby so I went to go see her. Then I decided I wanted to start something new, so instead of going through the closet for my DMC threads I went out and bought some new floss. Then I got on this computer and the rest my dear is history! I did have plans on starting Summer Snapperland tonight but I pulled out Bluebird Message and the colors are so beautiful that I think I want to keep on stitching on it. Here's an update pic.

Bloc Party was on Friday and it was AWESOME! It was held at The United Palace Theater which turned out to be a church known as The United Church. Kele invited everyone to the front and since we weren't too far from the front my cousin and I(left my other cousins) and went to the front. It was a really great concert - even the opening bands were good. The beer was expensive, even when you compared it to MSG, if you can imagine! Our Modest Mouse concert is at the same venue and I already scoped out our seats (which aren't bad) and if they also invite to the front well my cousin and I will definitely be there. Of course I have pics to share...so enjoy!

Here's some video...

Positive Tension

and a snippet of the end of a song they played


I also have another slide show to share with you...everytime I go to this train station I stare at these little people in awe...they always make me smile so I thought since I had the camera on me I'd take secret (because it's illegal to take pics in the train station/train) for my personal picture collection. I only got a picture of four of them but there are more of them throughout the entire station.
