Nobody goes anymore because the lines are too long...

Yesterday and still this morning, the internets are all a twitter about how expensive the new Google phones are. I heard two different podcasts yesterday where "pundants" declared that no one will buy it while that very same podcasts reported the models that had already sold out (the one I bought is now all gone). Granted, the supply could be low - artificially or unintentionally but still... Google is trying to be like Apple.

I wish someone would announce some other big tech thing so that these idiots will move on. Meanwhile weeding through the numbnuts, the more I hear about the phone, the more I realize that my issue will be where to sell my current phone for top dollar. And I'm now quite exited about getting the new one.

My swim was good this morning. I tried the early thing - just 30 minutes early - and it paid off. Traffic wasn't bad at all. Very nice. I was home by 9 which is perfectly acceptable.

Tomorrow is bear and doll delivery day. I'll probably make a few more dolls today and add them to the bundle. I need to photograph the bear group and then get them all into their bags for delivery.

I designed a simple fleece vest while I was swimming today. I have the fleece on hand but first I need to test some edge ideas on my scraps. Fleece vests - even for fat peops - are kind of pretty available but too fussy for me. I don't want the zipper. I think I want patch pockets - maybe just one. No collar and no hood. We'll see.

Also today I think I'll take a walk over to the terriyaki place and pick up dinner. I only seem to remember it on weekends when they aren't open. So if I plan to go today, I still have tomorrow for backup if I need it

The rest of Thursday

I didn't go out to walk. I didn't get tariyaki. I did go to the fabric store that I hate and they pissed me off and I got fabric that I don't really love and I paid too much. (It's the only fabric option even close to near here and the others - not close - also suck. And buying online is dicey.) I got the case for my phone but no phone to put in it. It's now serving as my candy corn dish.

On The Other Hand...

I have candy corn. I have chilli and a corn muffin for dinner with waldorf salad. My vest that I invented while I was swimming this morning turned out exactly like I wanted it. The version I made today isn't really wearable outside of the house but it is just a prototype and will be great as a house vest. And I know exactly how to make what I want in the good fabric.

I made 3 dolls. And, even though I didn't walk, I still got to my fitness goal. (Which the smart money says my goal needs to be raised but my money says Whew.)







I got the dolls and bears all packed up and ready to head out to the adoption agency.

There is one sweet byproduct of the monthly delivery. Sometimes/a lot of times, really, I when I finish a doll and photograph it, it's not my favorite. I mean they are all fun but some just seem to miss the mark. But, then, when I pick them all up and one by one put them in the bag for transport, they all seem to be, individually, adorable. Even the ones that I originally thought missed the mark. While they were waiting, they got cute!



And the bears...



Honestly, I think that pink one with the green sweater has been tokin' a little weed with Hunter next door. Either that or he's got one hilarious secret in his back pocket.
