Day: July 2, 2005

Well, apparently, all it took was complaining about it for me to find them. Where were they? In the box my PowerBook arrived in. That makes sense, doesn’t it? I don’t even know why I still have the box – nor do I remember putting anything an it, but there was a bunch of stuff in there! So, since that seemed to work: where are my scissors? Not the little thread snipping ones, not the plant cutting shears, but the fabric cutting scissors.

I’m so frustrated! It’s been one of those “little things after another” kind of day. After watching Davenport lose Wimbledon, I got up to buy air conditioner filters. When I got my new A/C, they gave me a ton of them, but I’ve worked my way through them. Turns out, neither Home Depot nor Lowes carries them. After going to those stores and having no luck, I came home and started making phone calls. I can’t find anyone in town who carries the right size. They carry 1 inch think ones and 4 inch think ones, but no two inch think ones. I’m starting to realize why the A/C people gave me so many freebies. I found a place online to order them – guess I’ll have to live with the $15 shipping fee.

Then, I decided I wanted to start a cross-stitch project. It’s been years since I’ve done any cross-stitching, but watching my friend work on (and finish) projects has given me the itch again. The last time I had this itch, I went out and bought a ton of patterns, specialty thread and lovely fabrics. Instead of going shopping again, I thought I’d do one of those. I have been searching my house for 5 damn hours and I can’t find the damn patterns! I can find the fabric and the thread, but no patterns. The only one I can find, is for a partially finished project that I do not want to start on again. (It’s a 5 foot long celtic banner that’s tough and it’s going to take a day just to figure out exactly where I left off before digging in again.) This is driving me crazy – I know those patterns are somewhere in this house.
