So, I lost a part to my sewing machine. I couldn't figure out what quilt pattern would work with my fabric. I colored my hair golden brown, and it turned out... red. Then, I watched my football team lose... again. Sigh.

Though, if this is as bad as it gets, I'll take it.

Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes.

Happy Birthday, dicea!

So, it always bugs me with mutts, to not know what their mix is. I am rarely OCD, but there are a few instances where an obsession-like curiosity kicks in. Toby's lineage is one of those things.

So I have been surfing dog breeds to see where there may be more than a passing similarity.

I found this today- (I do not have a paid account, so you'll have to deal with links)

Perry is the best sweetest most wonderful dog ever.

The cancer is systemic, he is in pain. He keeps saying please, and there is nothing I can do to help. The vet appt. is at 8pm. I can't say more than that right now.

Happy Birthday, Katie!

So, I need one yard of pale gray cotton. I looked at JoAnn's (by proxy) Wal-Mart, and the local quilt shop. No luck. So, I decide to order online. There are many places that sell light gray cotton. If I only need one yard of that, then I might as well get a couple half yards of some other stuff I like if I am paying for shipping anyway.

The problem? (you may be wondering) How in the name of all that is holy do I choose a couple? I have spent the last 2 and 1/2 HOURS on this problem, filling and emptying carts in many sites.

Sigh. I'm a junkie in a candy store.

Happy Birthday Meirwen!

Political Spectrum Quiz

Have a wonderful Holiday everyone!

Why do things that should not bother me, bother me? I know I have no good reason for said things to bother me, but they are playing on repeat in my brain, just irking the crap out of me.

It's depressing. Especially when I know there is no good reason for me to be bothered. Maybe a couple of not so good reasons, but no good ones.

Done with theboomboom's scarf! Yay!

Ready to start the next weaving project, which will be TW. I have 2 to choose from.

But not tonight, which is theboomboom's b-day party.

I have a 9 year old playing trumpet DIRECTLY behind my head.

Edit- here's the link to pics!

How come I just found out from a friend who lives in NYC that a coyote walked in the front door of the Sears Appliance Center about 5 doors down the strip mall from my place of employment?

Freaky.

A coyote. In the Walmart plaza. And he walked in the front door. Of the Sears.

You'd think I would have heard something locally.

So, my team lost their game. What I need now is for the Steelers to beat the Cowboys. It's not looking good...

Update-

I think I scared my family at the interception!

Yay! Katie made me a new icon! (She gave me the title too, which so totally rocks!)

Couldn't even read this out loud to Boomboom without laughing



Ten is a bit lean. Can we make it a dozen?
And keeping the SCA clean? What am I thinking?

Dr Mr. A**hole Fed-Ex Driver,

Yes, I know that the dock plate is broken and has been for some time. What I don't understand is why every other driver we get (from Yellow, Con-Way, Pitt-Ohio, Roadway, P Jax and every other trucking company, and including Nick, the other Fed Ex Freight driver)has no problem getting it to work. Threatening me with going to Fed Ex corporate with complaints is only going to get me to tell you to go right ahead. Threatening to sue Walmart is only going to make me sigh and get a manager. This time of year, I don't have the time to deal with whiners, and I have no power to get it fixed myself. By the way, your claim that it has been broken for 5 years is bullsh*t, because that door did not exist 3 years ago, before the building was expanded.

Dr Mr A**hole (Rent-A) Store Manager,

When a driver threatens to sue Walmart, it is no longer my problem, it is yours. I will not argue with an irate Fed Ex driver. I do not have the time or the patience. To belittle me by saying the last store manager would not have come out to deal with the issue, but would have made me deal with it myself was untrue, uncalled for, and insinuates that I am helpless. Mr Confer was an excellent store manager who respected me and my opinion. (he was also not stupid) I'm sorry your inflated self esteem keeps you from seeing the value of those employees underneath you. At least our REAL store manager realizes the value of her employees.
