Yesterday I performed my civic duty.
In preparation for jury duty I picked out the colors to start my long overdue needlepoint project.
After all of the jurors checked in and received their $15.oo...they turned on
Meet The Parents.
The next feature film was
Monster In Law. My number still hadn't been called and they told us to break for lunch, halfway through the movie. I walked across the street and got some
udon soup...this is a great meal when you are nursing yourself back to health from a cold.
Next up was
Radio. I had already seen all of these movies but it's the same as being on a plane...you will take whatever you can get. Before the movie was over we were released.
I managed to put a dent in my belt project. The saying
starting is the hardest part definitely holds true when it comes to needlepoint...I didn't want to put it down once I got started.

You made a great dent in the belt! Post your progress on it!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a long day, but at least you got some of your belt finished! It is going to be really cute.
ReplyDeleteI was worried that this post was gonna whine about Jury duty being a big inconvenience. I salute you for taking it in stride and acknowledging that is is our civic duty and obligation to our peers to get involved in the system when called.
ReplyDeleteradio is a wonderful movie in my book.
MLS,
ReplyDeleteNo whining here...there are some things you just gotta do. When you go into something with a positive attitude chances are the outcome will be more positive! xx
I'm kind of jealous you got called for jury duty. I'll be 35 this summer and I never received a summons. Your belt will be lovely! I'd love to see it when you finish. Did you purchase the canvas online or at a local shop?
ReplyDeleteCute belt! Great project to work on while waiting for jury duty.
ReplyDeleteDarling Belt. Many more days like this, you'll get your belt finished!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe belt is so cute- congrats on getting started! I have never had jury duty either and after reading I am kinda hoping I get called soon! Not a bad movie selection and good excuse to break out some unfinished needlepoint projects :)
ReplyDeleteI love your needlepoint project! I know how to embroider but not needlepoint. I definitely need to learn so I can make the bf a belt!
ReplyDeleteyou brave brave soul. quelle nightmare!
ReplyDeletekHm
Great use of your time! The belt looks so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really nice that they show movies to jurors in your state!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow on the planes I will be doing the exact same things; recycled movies and needlepoint...XXOO
