Material overload

I was in a buying mood at Joanne's a couple days ago and spent over $30 on fat squares so I could have lots of material on hand to make various quilt pattern pieces.  Today I opened up one of my storage bins to sort through my collection and was dismayed (and kind of tickled) to find a TON of material that I had forgotten was there.  I like having an excess of material in the house.  I feel the same way about cookies and ice cream and books.  They're comforting.

Baby Jake went to the doctor this morning and his weight has gone from 8-9 to 11-3 on this -- his one- month birthday.  I know that's probably boring news to most but not to me.

Made a quick run to the corner grocery as I was out of stamps. I bought a book of "forever" as the price goes up next Monday. Cost me $9.80 for a book of 20.  Going to have to be real particular on what I mail out these days.

Well, that's long enough for a rest period. I did get the kitchen floor mopped, the laundry done, material ironed, and my bird jigsaw puzzle mod podged onto a piece of cardboard.  Now, so I can feel especially proud of myself when I hit the sack tonight, I think I'll climb on the exercise bike.

A dozen pigeons blew in to help themselves to my latest bird seed so I'm chasing them off everytime I see them land.  I wouldn't  care so much if they just pecked at whatever they could find on the ground but they send in one to perch on a feeder and while he's flapping his wings to beat the band so he spill all the seeds out for his buddies, they end up cleaning me out.  Seeds are getting too expensive to treat them to dinner everyday.  If this keeps up, I just may get a dog.
