Score!

Today being the King Maker of this hot weather, I decided the only sensible thing to do in our non-air conditioned living room was to restretch the carpet to get rid of the ridge that formed, oh, 6 years or so ago. So having moved everything off the floor (yes, furniture, yes, large tv, yes, I'm an idiot) there was no turning back. I had the carpet stretcher, the sharp knife and a willing (and totally helpful) 5 year old assistant, ready to go and *ding dong.* Yeah! a momentary reprieve! I mean, drat, a distraction!

It was a delivery man. Not FedEx, not UPS. "This number 2?" he inquired. "Yup," I responded. "Here you go, enjoy." I looked at the box, I looked at the truck backing out of the driveway and woohoo! It's Christmas!Here's a closeup of the card. Awww, so sweet, but pretty ironic, yes?Incidentally the carpet looks great. I'm going to be steam cleaning it shortly, 'cause I'm nuts.

Wow.. that was really nice of them!! I have a thermos like that. It is really nice and keeps my coffee hot for hours. It didn't come with a nifty zippered cover though!
Well, off to guild. Ann Fahl is speaking tonight. I really don't want to go out, but I do want to see her quilts.
