in with the new

Three things to be happy about:
(1) a good night's sleep
(2) the perfect pillow
(3) finding a sought-after book

Well, two out of three ain't bad!

I'm a great fan of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series; I've read the entire series in hardback several times, and I also downloaded them to my iPod. But... I only want the unabridged versions.  For a very long time I've wanted The Fiery Cross and A Breath of Snow and Ashes but they were only available in abridged format.  I don't think so!  I want every single word she wrote in those books!  So, at the end of April Snow and Ashes became available in unabridged, and I got it, yaaaay!  Things are looking up.

I had to say goodbye to a couple of scrungy old friends...

I've had these awhile and now the left one has a hole under the bottom... right where kitty's chin would be.  So I made an executive decision and bought a new pair.  I wanted another pair of kitties but I couldn't find them - it's not as if I looked very hard!  Had to settle for these...

sock monkeys!  I'm not even a big fan of the sock monkey but I won't be staring at my feet, so that's okay.

At the office I was changing some pictures on my Webshots screen saver, swapping out anything with snow because I want spring and summer themed pictures.  Then I realized I might as well delete them because I won't be using them anymore... reality check!  In a way it made me kinda sad because I have some really nice snow pictures on there, Christmas too!  I have Webshots installed on my home PC but when I try to download pictures, McAfee's monkeys with the sledgehammers don't like it, so I haven't downloaded any new ones in a couple years.  In fact, I don't even use my screensaver at home.

Meanwhile I'm still slowly clearing out at the office, bringing junk home that I don't want to toss out, which will join the junk in the basement that I don't want to toss out.  I'm thinking it's time for a new kind of reality check down there!

Well, enjoy your day everybody; I have to pick up a sewing machine table someone is giving me.  I want this one because it has drawers, which my old one that came with my Singer Touch n Sew doesn't have.

Sew forth and sew on...
