Sorry I didn't post yesterday. It has been so hot here, that I am terribly fed up with it. It is the hottest summer we have seen in about three years, and I am feeling every last degree of it. The temps have been in the high 90s and this weekend the highs for Saturday and Sunday will be 103 for each day! Blech. This is not even considering the heat index, as it is not just hot here, but humid--sticky, stifling, oppressive--all around nasty weather. I know I should not complain as it is hot (even hotter) other places. We have gotten a very tiny bit of rain, but I am sure the farmers would like some drenching storms (so would I!!). I just paid my electric bill and my average daily cost was over $5.00!! I am on a level payment plan, so I am dreading seeing the settling up bill. I'll think about that one later though. So, since I obviously must have air conditioning you say, why am I whining so much? Aside from the fact I walk partially to and from work, my house is old and the upstairs is generally quite toasty. The room with my computer and treadmill (which I walk on daily) is in a room without any air ducts (don't ask--we bought it this way). So after I have walked and I sit down at the computer, I am generally drained and can only hack so much time in there. Curiously my cats love it--crazy girls!! So--now that I have complained in greeat detail (feel free to complain back to me! :) ......
I got a nice stash order from Lois at Elegant Stitch yesterday (which helped my grouchy mood immeasurably!). It wasn't new stuff really--I needed some floss and fabric to kit up some things. I will try and share tonight what I got. By the way, did you see Esmeralda's Friends at Elegant Stitch? New stitching accessories and such with the proceeds going to breast cancer. I was tempted on this one, and I am signing up for the automatic program. It is a good cause, so I don't feel quite so bad. I think the first one by Mosey 'n Me is going to be sent out today or sometime next week. I also figured this would be a nice small project I might be able to complete right away. The kits will be coming out every other month.
Stay Cool!
