So far

[susandennis]

I need new dining chairs. The ones I have are old and are IKEA so not meant to last this long and they weren't that comfortable to start with. I'm vacillating between comfortable and transparent (acrylic or lucite). I'm also vacillating between really really really need them now and I do not really need them at all. I'm indecisively indecisive on the whole thing.

I sent my financial adviser a question last week and realized this morning I had not heard a peep out of him. It's about the annual premium of my long term care insurance. He paying or me? Then I looked today and it's due today! And they offer me no way of instant pay. Ooops. So I called. Voicemail. I sent him partner an email. Crickets. Called partner. Voicemail. hmmmmm Then I called back to leave voicemail and heard that in addition to my guy and his 2nd in command, they now have a third! So I called her and she answered! She said my guy had a family emergency. But, she fixed the problem perfectly and quickly and pleasantly.

Then the washer didn't drain the clothes well enough. I think it's having issues but I also think that particular load was just way too unbalanced. It had three yard lengths of fabric. So it's cycling again because the stupid machine has no way to spin only. I hate this washing machine and always have. If it doesn't spin right this time, skip the dining room chairs, I'm getting a new washer/dryer.

I have the sewing room put back together. And one load of laundry left and then I'm taking the rest of the day off.

Oohh, chair shopping in store for the future. Exciting. I'm sure you'll choose something lovely when the time is right. =)

I'm glad that you got all that worked out. It sucks that he had a family emergency, but what a pain for you though, trying to get it all taken care of.

Glad yo could solve the issue with the insurance.

Meh @ the washing machine - hope you won't have to buy a new one. New chairs would be much more fun!

"I'm indecisively indecisive on the whole thing." That's me as well. I always hope that if I ignore it or think about something else, the problem will magically resolve itself.

I've not patience with mechanical things that don't work properly. I'd be ditching that machine and buying something I liked just to keep my blood pressure in check. But you might be more zen about these things than I am.

YOU are lucky enough to have a sewing room??!!!
Fantastic!
I have to make due with our seldom used living room and our big dining room table.
Do you have any plans for all your cloth yet?
:^)

I wouldn't mind having a seldom used living room OR a big dining room table :)

I sew pretty much constantly. So all fabric that comes in has a future eventually. Next up, however, is a swim suit or two since two of mine died last week.

Murder or suicide?
I'm doing my water aerobics class in a swim top and swim capris.

ha. old age. over use.

Are you making your swimsuit patterns or will you be using ready-made ones?
:^)

[susandennis]

I have a pattern I use that I cobbled together from suits and other patterns. I make the same one every time and make about 5 a year. I only use them for lap swimming so not a big deal.

The patterns we cobble together are often the best patterns. Nobody needs to know how many bits and pieces came together to make the wonderful garment we're wearing. (GRIN)
I used bits of SIX different patterns to make my wedding dress pattern.

I hope you'll have more luck finding some nice chairs than I have had.
Even the ones that don't last that long can be hideously expensive.

I don't think I could live with a washing machine that did not have a "spin only" option.
