Spending...

While swimming this morning, I hit on a plan for buying the products that Google will announce/is announcing today. They always have pre-order. So I'll pre-order what I want and then decide if I want it and cancel the order if I come to my senses. So $800. ARUGH. I think I can get maybe $350 for my current phone so that's still a gigantic chunk o' change. I have a week, maybe, to decide on the phone. OR I can wait for it to get here, test it against my current phone and send it back... I probably won't cancel the Home.

I don't spend any money on travel but lordknows I throw it at technology in a skinny minute.

Fortunately, I'm not interested in the other stuff they are announcing.

Ok, announcement over. Whew. I'm glad they did not announce a tablet.

On with today. I did the laundry but it still needs folding. I have my latest shirt - a deliciously soft dark gray cowl necked number - about half done. Maybe an hour's worth of work left. I need pockets added to both latest shirts. And dolls. I have a couple cut out and ready to sew.

Yikes it's already 11.

I've had issues with LJ since this weekend on and off. It makes me wonder if we're not looking at the beginning of the end for the non-Cyrillic version. This makes me very sad to think about but I'm also doubling up my efforts to make sure I have a current archive of the last 14 years.

No dolls but...

I never even got around to making one doll today. I did finish my dark gray cowl neck shirt. It's going to be quite cozy when the cold gets here. And I put a pocket on the other one. I'm not sure it was a great idea but it's done now and not take off-able. Oh well.

And I made a sleeping bag for my tortillas. Yep.

Every morning, I make a quicky egg burrito as I walk in from the pool on the way to my chair/computer. It's very easy and efficient so I like to keep the tortillas handy.



BUT I hate having my counter look like this. I googled tortilla storage to death and didn't come up with anything that looked better and would keep them fresh. And then the light bulb went off.

Now my counter looks like this.



SOOOO much better! Plus it makes me laugh. Oh the joy of having enough time that I can easily waste some on making a tortilla sleeping bag.

I got the shipping notice today for my new kitty litter chest that I bought on ETSY. It says it's 80 pounds - coming on UPS all in one piece, no assembly required. That should be interesting. It's coming next Tuesday.

And I made a waldorf salad for dinner - not sure if it's going to go with steak or a pork chop. I have time to decide.
