Saturday spent with a list. In the car and driving. Puppy in the backseat. Returning a pair of shorts to Goodwill. Checking bookstores for the QA Studios magazine. (no luck!) Target for a lunch bag for me--- I got a JOB! (starting Monday). Marden's for an insulated jacket to wear to my job -- I may be outdoors most of the day. Then Mexican Lunch. My new "treat" meal.
DeLuxo Nachos Grande. I just love them and had been dreaming of them. I skipped the Margarita because I had to do the taxes when I got home. Then, on the road home, a Dairy Queen dessert. Blizzard for G and a small cone for me. Riley was so sweet. He wanted ice cream too. But he didn't get any. He had water instead.
Sam gets nice refunds on her Federal and State taxes (she'll be happy). G & I get to write nice, big, fat checks to both. I hate taxes. And it took less than 2 hours to figure all of the returns. It's done. Now I can enjoy the evening and read my book. Or sew. I'll write checks tomorrow.
On one of my quilt shop visits today, the shop owner said there was little mark up on the Quilting Arts magazines and the Cloth, Paper, Scissors. No incentive for bookstores or quilt shops to carry them since they make little profit on the sale. Foolish of the publisher. I refuse to pay the standard flat shipping fee for the Studios issue. And I wanted to make the rolled, colored pencil holder.
What's Fabulous Today: My neighbor, a vegetarian, is bringing over leftovers from a big dinner party. Meatballs and Roast Turkey. We love her! She apologized for the big bus bringing the lacrosse team to dinner. Big Bus? I missed seeing that. We live on a dead end street and a bus turning around is always very interesting. The puppy BARKED! Protecting us from food bearing neighbor lady. What a day.
I'll tear out the colored pencil project from CPS Studios and send it to you, if you like. I can't quite part with the rest yet, though! :-D
ReplyDeleteTaxes tonight for me. UGH! But Art Quilt group meeting tomorrow. Yeah!
