susandennisI just bought a new chromebook. I bought it from Amazon with the fervent hope that I'll dislike it enough to send it right back. I've been trying not to buy it since it came out a couple of weeks ago and finally, today, failed. It's the new Samsung flip-to-tablet with a stylus chromebook. I was doing OK until my old Nexus 7 tablet died this morning. And I was still headed towards a $49 Amazon Fire tablet replacement when I looked at the Samsung... again... It's also a same day delivery. Fine. I'll get it and then hate it and send it back. She says knowing that she's living in a dream world. Oh well.
When I was in Walmart last week, I visited the yarn section to check for new yarn possibilities as I always do and found these cool Caron Cakes.
I'm a sucker for variegated yarn anyway but these are just delicious. I got several. They aren't perfect for bears because there is a little wool in them and machine washing/drying might not be the best for bear health but... I'm going to make a couple anyway.
Here's the first one. I'm now making another and the dark purple is up next it will go dark purple legs up to light purple head. As a bonus, the yarn is also very soft. (And was pretty darned cheap, too!)
There are a couple of errands I need to run today but nothing critical so I'm thinking none will actually get done. Plus, I can't leave now, my new computer may arrive at any minute! (Reality says it will be more like 7 or 8 pm tonight.) I have crafty things to keep me entertained while I wait.

2) receiving fun packages in the mail and

Your day sounds fab. :)

Date: 2017-03-10 01:50 am (UTC)I keep telling myself "You have had several bluetooth earbuds, headsets, etc. - how many of them are you using now?" I've quit using them at the gym because it's more fun to talk to people and even walking the dog is currently more pleasant without that entertainment.
What did your Nexus 7 die from? My friend has one.
