Got My Computer Going Again - Two Days Worth!

This is two days worth of blogging because I forgot yesterday - due to no battery on the computer. I thought about doing it this morning with yesterday's blog, but forgot to do it before Patrick wanted to head out. So, I'm going to do both days in one - yet again.

YESTERDAY

I was up and ready to go, so I thought. I had been to Cherrill's to help her out. Came home and tried to get going. I wanted to get my hair cut before I got to the folks for quilting. I called and told them I was going to be late. Then I tried to get the "Great Clips" app on my computer so I could go right in, but couldn't get it for my windows phone. I hurried to get moving and realized I couldn't find my keys. I texted Patrick, "LOCKED MY KEYS IN THE GARAGE." Looked all over to the spare, and found it. Went into the garage to get the keys to figure out I didn't lock them in after all. Texted Patrick, "Not in garage, found key," then I looked all over the house for the next 20 mins to find those darn keys!! I had them in the computer room. I collected everything and drove over to Starbucks to get some tea. Ended up waiting in line for about 10 more minutes. Got to Great Clips for my hair and waited another 15 minutes. By the time I got to moms everyone was there, and Theresa parked in my spot, so I had to move the car when everyone left. It was 11 am by then. Chatted with them for a few and then it was lunch. I was able to get some of my rabbit done. Not much.

I had it ready at this point.

I was able to get more done on it, but I was hoping to have it all attached. Not so lucky, because my day went in the towel!

When everyone left around 1 pm, I asked mom for some help on my hardanger piece. She was able to get me to understand the next step. I'll work on it this week. I was thrilled to finally figure out what I was supposed to do.

On my way home I stopped at the quilt shop and bought 2 more frog measuring tapes. Then headed home. Decided to stop at Visiting Nurses because all my friend seem to come across good deals. While I seem to find squat. I was lucky because I found 2 boxes of DMC floss.

This one and a blue one. This was the lesser of the two when it came to floss. But there was a kreinek in it as well. I bought them both. They were $4.50 a piece. It was worth the price to me. I put all of these in my box yesterday. I was organizing my stuff, so when I had a better bobbin, I added the two together. I filled a lot that I didn't have, so I'm happy. I didn't touch the second box yet.

I spend most of my evening doing the organizing and got a lot done.

Asked Patrick to pick 2 kits that he liked.

He picked these two. He thought since Christmas is coming up, that would be a good idea. I agreed. Not sure if I'll do this first or if I'll start on Dan's wedding announcement. We'll see where things turn out. Looking forward to it!

TODAY

Woke after Patrick this time. We got ready and went to the casino. It was one of our quicker days, but we had some fun. Then Patrick suggested we go  to Costco in Olympia. So, we headed up there. I got a shirt, while we picked up some meat.

On the way back home we stopped at VF Factory, where I bought a "hoodie" because I needed some new ones. I had $10 off and we used that for the sweater.

We then came home. I started working on the second box of floss. Patrick saw the box I washed and cleaned up from last night. It had a handle while the other is blue and no handle. He asked if he got to keep it. I told him he can have one, but not sure he wanted that one or the other one. Guess he took that one because it's not where I put it to dry. Think he thinks he gets both. Men are just as bad as us women when it comes to storage boxes! He uses them for his tools. lol

My power cord arrived today!! Now I'm back on my computer. The laptop doesn't do it. It's nice to have my computer back to snuff!

Mom and dad wanted to go out to eat for supper. It's their anniversary weekend. They have been married 63 years. So, we went up to Olympia to the Falls Terrace restaurant. It was VERY expensive and the food was not as good as it used to be when it was cheaper! The food was so-so and the menu changed since the last time we were there. They didn't have Prime Rib anymore except for holidays and special occasions.  If it had been Patrick and I, I would have walked out.

We played games when we got home. Mom won the game. Came home and watched an old movie with Ronald Reagan. Not a bad movie.

Life is good, things are going good. We keep moving on. I'll finish up my organizing and then I'll get back to being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!!
