I went shopping today and man did I ever take a very long time. This time it wasn't so much comparing prices or looking for Canadian made products, it was seeing people that I hadn't seen for a very long time and spending time talking and catching up. If I want to cut down on the time it takes me, I will have to go earlier and see if I can miss all those people.
I also spent some time looking at a few clothing items that I need to replace. Just might take some money from my savings envelope and do just that early tomorrow. I really need new undergarments and those I refuse to buy secondhand or make (though I probably could if I put my mind to it).
My loom is set up and clamped down to begin warping it tomorrow.
I was going to do so today, but was just too tired and sore from the bending and stretching involved while shopping. I will do so tomorrow.
Instead I finished a book and started another, and worked on the knitted blanket. Should have been in the sewing/craft room doing a bit of work on clearing things up in there, but of course I didn't. May do some tonight after supper and before I go for a lovely soak. Things need to be organized and put away, and that seems to be a never ending task. At least a never ending task for me.
I bought some meat today that will need portioning tomorrow. Having a hard time not letting Harvey know that Kurt plans on being home for a few days the second weekend in June (5, 6, 7, 8 though not home until very late on the 5th). Kris plans on coming home as well, so planning meals, snacks and firepit times. I may have to check on how many firepit quilts I have ready to go (pretty sure at least three, but will need one more). Tough when Harvey is questioning why I need to get the deck set up and more propane purchased. Kurt wants his visit to be a surprise to celebrate Harvey's birthday (means I have to bake a cake without him knowing what it is for and to keep him from eating said cake).
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
What a great surprise it will be! Good luck pulling it off!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun.I wish you all the best 👍
ReplyDeleteYay for the sun, even if temporary. :)
ReplyDeleteBirthday surprises are fun to plan but challenging to keep from the honoured 'guest'. I planned a couple for Bill and managed to pull them off. We can be very sneaky when we need to be! Good luck!
I hope you can keep the secret.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on keeping the surprise from Harvey Jackie - but so special that the boys want to do this & to be there to celebrate with you all. xx
ReplyDeleteOh, what a neat surprise that will be! I’m with you on the no second hand underwear too! I’ve always wants try making my own too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surprise, my hubby notices very little, until I am sorting for a surprise, then he misses nothing.
ReplyDeleteGood luck keeping the visit a surprise! You may have to borrow a neighbour's fridge or freezer. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fun, a surprise birthday party! Is it a major birthday? All of them are special, we must be sure to celebrate each and every one. Mmm, home baked birthday cake sounds nice, what is Harvey's favourite?
ReplyDeletePS, go and buy yourself some pretty new undies, you deserve them and they will make you feel nice!
