Are you sure it isn't Friday?

 Things seemed perfectly normal this morning... for awhile.  I was able to call the power company and schedule someone to come out to relight our hot water heater, check my emails and check out my blog from last night along with messages on facebook.  Then, while I'm messaging back & forth with my quilting friend, Katie, she stops replying... hmmm..... then something on my computer didn't look right.  Checked my modem and the broadband light was winking at me with a red light.... NOT GOOD.   I call AT &T and talk to "Adam" (who sounded like he was in/from India or one of 'those' countries)... puts me on hold while he 'checks' ( yeah right) and when he comes back, I can't understand a word he's saying because of all the background noise on his end.  After putting me on hold again... he comes back and says that an outside tech is scheduled to come check out my lines outside the house tomorrow and that an inside tech will be coming on Wed to check the equipment inside - if I'll be home between 10 and 2 I think he said.  Ok sure.....  then, I find out from Katie - who lives just a mile down the road that her internet is out too,  So now I know it's not MY equipment and I tried to cancel the inside tech, but, of course, their computer doesn't understand what I'm saying in my text....  anyway, it came back on, then went back off, then came back on and has stayed on so far.

Ok as for the pics here....  we have a three cushion couch in the family room... I have the end closest to the tv ( and the floor lamp).  Buddy is more than welcome to lay at the other end any time he so desires... there's even a pillow there for him.  That's the first pic....  the second pic is MY end of the couch.

If I want to sit there, I have to warn him... move or I'll sit on you.... here comes my big butt.... and usually he just barely gets out of the way and moves down to 'his' end.  Such a silly dog.

Today, I decided that instead of sewing, I would get some cleaning done in my sewing room - then MAYBE I could find something when I wanted it.  disclaimer:There will be no photos of either before or after.  Notice that I said SOME cleaning... I'm not aiming for spotless, just a little less disorganized than usual.  I did get quite a bit done, but to anyone else, it probably doesn't look any different.

It did help... while I was putting some fabrics back into the walk in closet, I spotted a plastic baggie with several packs of rick rack in it - I had been looking for jumbo rick rack yesterday.  So, I grabbed the baggie and YES!  there was some of just what I had been wanting yesterday.  Well, that called for a last minute alteration to the quilt block I thought I had finished last night.... and, of course, that lead to a bit of a problem.  I hadn't cleaned my sewing machine extended table off completely...  hope this video works..

I think this is even cuter with the rick rack.... and will be even more so once they get their eyes lol.

That's about it for today.... I'll probably go back in and try to do some more sorting... then again, maybe not since tonight it's Who Do You Think You Are on TLC, I think.

Take care... enjoy your evening
