Another Saturday of Being Gone All Day

This morning I was up because my phone dinged at me. It was telling me a package arrived. The funny part was, it arrived yesterday and I didn't get the reminder then. NOPE, got it instead at 6:30 am! Oh, well.

We were off to the casino, which didn't do so good for us. We left the money we took to play with. Plus their money. Anyway, it was fun. Even though it was short lived.

Then it was off to Olympia to go to Cabala's for shoes. Patrick gets his shoes for work. Those are his Birthday gifts. I found some boots that I really liked and was on sale. Normally $89 but I got them for $35. They are a lot warmer and go up the ankle. That will be great one the cold days. I actually took the last shoe they had. It was a display model, but the very last one in size 8. I normally take size 9. But these fit great.

We then stopped at Costco. Then we headed home.

We were home for about an hour. Then decided to head down to Longview for supper. We ended up at Red Lobster. They had some new stuff. I liked what they had. But then I got a sampler plate. It was good too.

Now, we're home and I need to get working on the beads.

I was able to get this far yesterday. I also noticed that I have some more cross stitches to put in as well. I'm going to go ahead and do that before I keep going with beading. There are some white places that are all by themselves that need to be done. I really don't want to trail the floss behind in long strands. So, I'm trying to decide what I will do. Since I was learning how to end the floss from the top, I may try that. The trouble with that is when it gets cut, you can see the threads. I may go against my better judgement and trail the floss in the back.

I ordered my beads, a pattern, and something else. Then realized I'm still waiting on an order I placed in Dec. It was shipped but still hasn't arrived. I need to check on that as well.

I tried to order another 6 months of ancestry (really good deal) but when I tried it wouldn't let me. Think they figure I already have a good deal and they don't want to give me another one. So, I'll wait and see how it goes.

So, all in all, life is good. I'm still learning the ends and outs of this computer, but I'm getting there. I'm thrilled to have my ancestry pages helping me along the way! We're doing good and that's all I can ask for.

I often wonder how many of you go through as much "obstacles" as I do when it comes to quilting or cross stitch. Let me know if you've had busy days as much as I have.

In the meantime, stay Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
