Saturday

The gym is in the same building with a UPS store. The pool opens at 8 and the store opens at 9. By the time I finish swimming and get showered and dressed the store will be open and ready. I have the rug and the DOA laptop pen to ship back so done and done. Then I can make a quick stop at the grocery. Grated cheese and eggs. But not fatal if I forget. And home for the rest of the day. I have lots of stuff I want to do here today.

This new laptop is just amazing. I was predisposed to like it. I expected it to be nice. But, wow. It's really really nice. I like the size and the feel and the way the backlighting works on the keys. It also bends all the way around to be a tablet and while I don't think I'll be using that much, it's so cool how it does it that maybe I will. And it's so thin. It weighs about half as much as its predecessor and has the same size screen and keyboard.

It's an easy-to-carry-around size so I think it's going to need a carrying case. And I have the design for one building in my head.

Tomorrow is a home Seahawks game so I need to really conjure up anything and everything I might need by car and get it done today. I think I'm good but there's no going out after I get home from swimming tomorrow. They got a little rowdy with their Friday pre-game rally yesterday. Tomorrow will be and excellent day to stay inside with the doors to the outside closed.

Ok. Time to get into my suit and hit the road.

Fashion were you find it...

The more I sew, the more I find myself studying everyone else's clothes. How are those shoulders created? Where does that seam fall? There's no side seam at all in that coat! I notice the weird stuff. More and more.

Just now I was reading jwg's account of his dance camp weekend when I clicked on the video (which is pure joy for the eyes and ears, by the way- treat yourself) and I spied the most amazing pants.



I am so going to make myself a pair from all the fabric scraps I have. At least I'm going to give it a try. They are wonderful pants. Actually, there are loads of amazing creative ideas in that video. Plus it's such fun.
