"We've got the biggest balls of them all!"

So yeah, I'm going to the Navy Ball this Saturday. I got approached by big King and he was wondering if I was going. I told him that I didn't know. Then I asked him if he was going and he said he was. So now I'm going. I had to get a duty swap in order to do it cuz my section has duty on Saturday. Jimmy is switching with me. He's real cool about stuff like that.

I've been working on Mary's pants and they're just about done. I did a fitting the other day and tailored them some more. I just got to get her to try them on again and tell me if they fit better. Then I have the waistband, hem the bottom (which I won't do until she brings me the shoes she's planning on wearing with it), and the diamonds on the legs. I think overall they turned out awesome. I've never made pants before and I don't think you can really tell. After this, I need to make the Scarecrow mask. I have burlap sacks and I'm going to get twine and rope from boatswain1 this week. I've totally got the "hookup." lol. I also got my blanket edging in the mail yesterday so now I can make the baby blanket I've been planning.

This weekend I bought a new toy for myself... a new tablet! Yeah, they have some out in town at Llaox Electronics. It's a Wacom Bamboo Comic tablet. It comes with software but it's in Japanese and I don't know how to change the language settings on the software themselves because the character pack isn't installed on the computer I'm using. At least, it isn't installed on the Windows side of the computer. The Apple side views languages just fine. I also got a blank black hoodie so I can embroider on it. It's going to be the first thing in a while that I'm doing for myself. I'm super excited. I think the first thing I'm going to do to it is make thumb holes in the sleeves.

Anyways, lunch is almost over and I want to get a smoke in. Oh, btw... I'm all qualified in my basic stuff for my blue card now! Hopefully I get it before Halloween. :D
