Ooooo! I thought. I can sympathize with that! So I asked her a bunch of invasive questions (which I love to do, so if you need and idea for a blog entry, Katie to the rescue!) and thought I might for once refer to my blog in a comment . . .
Only to realize that I never actually shared the news that I've got hearing aides.
Yep! And not just any hearing aides. OLD PEOPLE hearing aides. You know, those big klunkers that stick halfway out your ear canals. And while everyone gives me a sad little look when they hear about getting hearing aides, I tell them there's no need to feel sorry for me . . . .
BECAUSE THESE THINGS ARE FABULOUS!
Have you ever been in the next room and heard your phone ring and just know that you aren't going to get to it in time. That NEVER happened to me because I couldn't hear my phone in THE NEXT ROOM! And I can actually hear my kids talking to me in the van now.
So I'm ALL about the hearing aides. Ghetto old person style or Jack Bauer secret service style.
And then a little feel good moment for me. I don't get a lot of time to sit down and sew, so I'm pleased as punch that I managed to take a few hours to get this put together.
My pretty little 1920s/30s apron. I copied the pattern from a vintage pattern that was in my college costume shop because I loved it so much. And what's not to love? Eat your heart out skimpy little 50s aprons! You got nothin' on my classy gal! Nothing is going to stain my clothes with this apron on the job!
And don't you love how it practically matches my bedroom walls? Maybe it should double as lingerie . . . .
or not. : )

Congrats on the hearing aides! I think it's awesome that they are so helpful...someday you'll upgrade to the spy set. Sort of like getting your first car and dreaming someday of the new model.
And the apron? So great. Your lingerie suggestion made me laugh. :-)
I tried to find your blog after your comment on Mindee's blog with the "school fight song" made me laugh so hard. I love this apron. So you are a seamstress too? I'm envious. I worked in the college costume shop too, but I was an acting major and never caught on to sewing. wah. I"m passing this pattern on to my niece who sews. I love it!!
Love the apron. I couldn't figure out why you were showing your ear. I didn't notice the hearing aid. I'm so happy you are wearing them. Your dad is too.
