The way the mind wanders on a Tuesday

 Wow.  Tuesday on the week of Thanksgiving.  You're basically living on scraps because the only groceries in the house are being saved for Thursday...  

Robb made me breakfast this morning!  Well, we had lots of eggs... :)  He made me a super omelet!  He was up at 2am smoking a turkey for a lunch at his work today.  So he had plenty of time to think about what to make for me when I finally came downstairs at 5:30am.  I was thinking about going to have lunch with him and my former co-workers, but found out I have a staff meeting during that time so nope.

I went over to work out with Meri and got a call from her just as I was pulling up to the building.  She had slept thru her alarm again...  So she'll workout at home I guess.  Or not today.  She needs to get her home gym put together in her garage.  I found some weights for her workout machine on a local swap page, so she has no excuse.  However her garage is not heated and has no treadmill... yet...  I still scour the swap pages looking for more exercise equipment that people are getting rid of that they'd stocked up on at the beginning of the plague.  You know.. when they thought they'd never be able to leave the house and will just sit on the couch.  When they had ambitions.  Well, the ambitions are gone and the extra weights and weight benches are taking up valuable space in their garage, where they've moved on to a different hobby.

Streaming movies.

and crafts!!!  Can you believe they want this for a branch hanging from twine?  


I think I know how I want to decorate this year....  Heading to the tree farm for free branches this weekend!!!!  With these hanging all over my walls, people will think I've spent a fortune or have finally lost my mind.
Probably the later option...

Robb and I started a Zac Braff movie together about the life of a struggling actor in LA who also has to pull the kids out of a private school and homeschool them, supported by his wife.  After 20 minutes, we were not impressed and actually went to sleep early that night...  But later I was feeling like MAYBE there might be a redeeming quality in the show so I watched some more while folding clothes.  I mean... it has Kate Hudson AND Mandy Patinkin in it!  Only now Mandy is dying...  And I spent some time crying.

What a way to start your day.

Oh and beautiful scenery of beaches was pretty cool...  I guess I'm just not L.A. material but it was nice to visit that once.  

I've got lots of sewing I want to do this week.  Well, at least designing some Christmas gift clothing ideas...  So the actual sewing and creative bit might be this weekend or into next week.  I've got a pile of knit fabric that I washed AND dried, in prep for the gift recipients not having to worry about "should I hang this to dry?" or the rebel "eh - everything goes in the dryer!!! forget those instructions!"  

I moved my strawberries inside several weeks ago and now they get the sun just in the mornings through the back deck door.  They've produced some strawberries and either Leon or myself wolf them down when we find them. Kind of an Easter egg hunt kind of thing.

Anyway, back to work.  have a great Tuesday!

I always wash knits and dry them first. I even wash a dry-clean only piece of fabric and all tapestry I use for upholstery. It makes the tapestry look a hundred years old.

Eggs sound pretty good when made by others. I have my turkey thawing using up space. I'll have a whirlwind cleaning and cooking tomorrow night and Thursday morning.
