Ok, I can fucking fold a t-shirt now!!! I can't repeat her rap but I can get the damn thing folded quick as a wink. Betty thinks I have totally lost it.

Dinah, the muralist, was a no show today. She called Sheri at 10:30 to say she got back too late last night and was tired. Sheri was pissed and that made me feel better.

John, however, was here and the first shelf section is started and looks good.

But the main house news is all of the wonderful stuff that Sheri found. I can't even capture it in pictures but it's a lot. She found the bedding for the window seat - it's Shaharazad... a bedspread and pillows. Perfect. And she has fabric for the living room. A wonderful pattern for the computer chair. Another for the lime green chair (seat cushion and pillow) and a really cool valance fabric and even one for a project she didn't know about. I'm seriously considering recovering the top of the yellow ottoman. And her 'or this one' fabric for the office chair is a lovely nubly solid that would be perfect.

And she found some wonderful light sculptures for the hallway. They are colorful and beautiful and make the hallway perfect.

All excellent.

Why do I have a paid subscription to TV Guide? It came last week and this week and is through the end of December. I just logged onto their website to tell them I didn't order and I wasn't going to pay and learned that it's all paid up. hmmmm

I got a snail mail - two page letter - from a friend with whom I really really really no longer have anything in common. Her first paragraph is all about how she knows I hate snail mail letters but she loves them - how she loves to get her coffee and her cigarette and just settle down and read a good letter.

Ok, well, you know what, that's nice for you. Not for me.

A nice person would to to the trouble of responding with a snail letter but we all know about me, now, don't we? NFW. Sorry, charlie.

I have known this woman for 30 years. We shared fun times in college and some special times since. None in about a decade and I have just never warmed up to her constant whining about her ex-husband (who was also a good friend of mine). The divorce was 3 years ago. Their one daughter is married and not living with either of them. I think I was sympathetic the first year but I'm pretty sure I haven't been since and don't want to be now.

I guess I'll send her an email in a week or so. Sigh.

Why do I have a paid subscription to TV Guide?

Six months with a cable or dish offer, maybe?

[susandennis]

I can't think of anything like that... no dish. Same cable I've had since forever. But, you are probably right. Something I did must have triggered it.

I've found that tvguide.com works great for me, and of course it's free. That's really weird that you have a fully paid TV guide subscription - someone loves you or something....

Good for you for standing up for what you believe in and not doing something just to please someone else. I wholeheartedly believe in that and also subscribe to the same theory of letter writing as you! :-)

This is too weird...I received an issue of TV Guide last week and then another came today...and I didn't put in an order for it either. Hmmmmmm...it's a Susan Dennis special?!

[susandennis]

Ok, now that really is very very weird. Does yours go til the end of the year?

[minimac.livejournal.com]

Good until the end of September. I've not received any kind of bill or anything (yet)...bizarro.

Why would someone send a letter when they know you hate them?

Obviously you are not close!!

I think I have sent about 3 letters in the past 10 years, and those to people without email.
