Could be worse...
Aug. 20th, 2006 02:54 pmBut it has been interesting... The fan on the AC was what quit working. Bruce was able to re-start it but now we must run it constantly until we can get a repairman out here to fix it. At least the house has cooled down!
Julia came over last evening and they got some done on the violin tracks for the CD but it was way hot upstairs. I worked on the hand-fasting sash some more and then put it away completely frustrated; don't want that kind of energy in it so I may wait until this weekend and ask for help on it. A thunderstorm was forecast, and boy did it show up! The lightning started and one thunder-boomer was so close that it scared them and they came downstairs to check if I was alright! I was, the connection wasn't. We were without internet until about 11 this morning! Bruce looked at me about 10pm and said, "so what do we do now?" I said, "Oh, how about all those things on the to-do list that we don't get to because of the time-sucking computers?"
Going to focus on the hand-fasting dress instead. Alicia (oldest daughter) and her fiance took us out to dinner last Sunday both to celebrate his and my birthday and to ask Daddy's blessing on the engagement. (And of course, I'm making the wedding dress; how can I say no to that?) They had a gift card for me from Hancocks but hadn't written the value of it so I had no idea. When I went to buy the rest of the fabric, lining and overdress, I went easy 'cause I didn't want to overspend the gift certificate...thinking it was prolly $20 or $25. The cashier and I were both astonished to see that I had $75 left on it! Wow, I gotta go express some more gratitude to them!
So now we're waiting for Julia to come back and get some more of this done. I'm going to put a couple of whole chickens on the smoker and end up getting several meals plus some soup out of it. I have a philosophical post rambling about in my head; haven't done one of those for awhile. It has to percolate just a bit more first...
