ZigZag Stitch
Mom, this was what I was talking about how I finish a seam. I sew the straight stitch first and then zigzag stitch the raw edges together. Hope this helps explain what I was talking about. 
Cool Gadgets
Rob is visiting his family this week and they’re really into cool gadgets, especially security type gadgets. At his parent’s mechanic shop they have security cameras that are connected to an internet server and they can be watched from any computer. So, one time when I was visiting they had the computer set up at home and we saw something really funny. A tow truck was dropping off a truck at another mechanic shop and really dropped it! The guy had unhooked the car and it slid down the ramp of the tow truck and right into one of the cars at Rob’s dad’s shop! Since they had the camera, they had proof of it happening. It wasn’t a hidden camera, but it did its job perfectly. However there are some pretty ingenious Hidden Cameras out there - like hats, plants, a fire alarm, and even a camera hidden in ear buds.
My new dress
I took some pictures today of me in my new dress. I was trying to decide which would be the best way to wear the dress: with or without a shirt. I posted to the egl forums and the vote was practically unanimous to wear my Metamorphose high collar blouse with it. I almost prefer to wear the gauzy peter pan collared shirt that my grandmother bought me a while ago. I’m going to be wearing it to JACON next weekend. Rob is going to be doing a lot of photography again at the convention. Now that he does photography I rarely get to see him at conventions. 
JACON is at a new hotel this year; let’s see if it sucks less than previous years.
Anyway, tell me what outfit you like the best!
Oh, I also tried something with my hair - straightening my bangs. How does it look? I’m probably going to wear my hair up anyway, but it took me forever to get them straight. I am so clueless about girly things like hair dressing or walking in heels. And yet I dress like this sometimes! I guess it’s a way to get really girly, but only once or twice a month.
