February Friday

I was busy taking pictures of red things here in the dining room when the camera let me know I am having "a battery situation" again. G is going to have to put the camera in battery discharge mode yet again. I don't let it fully discharge and it gets tired, crabby and throws a fit. And the pictures don't focus as crisply. This coffee cup and it's mate in black are from Pier One. When I was watched Alton Brown's Good Eats on a regular basis years ago, he had a hanging rack of coffee mugs like this. And once I see something, the hunt is on. It took several years, but finally, while taking care of my recovering dad in Ohio in 2004, I spied coffee label mugs at the grocery store. There was tremendous joy. I was shopping deprived. And I had found something I had wanted for a long time. G drinks his coffee from the yellow (his favorite color) mug every morning. And from this red one in the evening.

Busy television evening last night with Bones (for Gary), Fringe (me), and then Project Runway. Why won't they give them 2 days or at least 1.5 to make these clothes???? They have hems and zippers and stuff like that in addition to drafting, designing etc. Time consuming. The result is absolute crap walking down the runway.

N and I had breakfast in Freeport yesterday and I went into the beading store and purchased some Flex wire which I should have gotten on Monday. I even asked questions of the teenage girls working and got good answers. Last time I was there the owner was working and she was very rude. I added this store to my Employment Search Log. I also bought a larger yellow heart bead and some golden amber colored beads so I can make a pink and yellow bracelet or necklace.

My Product Specialist at Orvis has shipped another Pomegranate and another Chocolate sweatshirt to me. I hope they are the correct measurements. Now I need to send back the ones that aren't the correct size. They were too big for N.

Riley has been barking at something out the windows all morning. Cross country skiers I think. Today the weather is mild, sunny and no wind. Should be a pleasure to walk. Yesterday I did a section of the walk in "power walk" mode and Riley had to trot alongside to keep up. He liked it.

I never got around to reading yesterday and am starting to be upset by this. It means I am too busy to read. I don't like that. And, I have been watching television instead of reading. Less calories being burned. My diet is now into the fourth week. I still don't see any results. Today I had a huge bowl of shredded wheat and milk for breakfast because I need to poop. Really.
