sewwwwww... if we're to believe... heavy snow Thursday and Friday right here. hmmmmmm I'm choosing to celebrate a winter wonderland OR celebrate being able to get to the pool for a swim. I figure that if I am going to happy with either, I will not be disappointed. That's the plan, anyway.

I did reconsider my being pissed at the gym. The guy who answered the phone last night probably wasn't told OR they might not have even made the decision to open late until after the gym closed. There is not a lot of ways they have for keeping me informed - guy when I called, note on the front door, their website OR their app. The easiest for me, is note on their app which is exactly what they did. PLUS now that I know they do that now, I can check that very easily when I first get up. So... ok.

IF heavy snow, this info will be tested. Soon.

Another happy annoyance. The Mariners just published their Spring Training TV broadcast schedule. On the one hand, they are going to be televising more games and earlier games than ever before. On the other hand, my current cable package does not include that channel. But, because my cable company is so cool, I was able to pop my cable person a quick note asking to have her turn on the Mariner channel on the day of the first game. On the other hand, that little maneuver is going add $70 onto my bill (which comes out to about $3 a game).

BUT I will also get a bunch of channels I have not had since last Fall - like HGTV and TNT and USA and BBCAmerica... so not a tragedy.

And... guess what came today??!!





This time I have a game plan for how to set it up and organize it for assembly with, hopefully, the least amount of chaos and confusion.

And... also today came my Zozo suit!



It's a website that sells clothes which I have no intention of buying BUT their deal is that for $4 you order their suit and use it to get 3 dimensional measurements of your body. I'm in it for the measurements! They even include a little camera stand. And, yes, when I do it, I will take a picture of me in that hilarious suit.

So... lots of inactive action here today! More bears made and even more bears cut out. I'm making an impressive hole in my fabric stash and an almost noticeable hole in my stuffing stash.

My husband started out for work this morning, got about ten minutes away and decided it really wasn't worth it and came back to work from home (since he can). I had a doctor's appointment this morning in Woodinville, but I wasn't sure about driving on those roads... so he drove me over, we did a quick stop at the grocery store to stock up a bit, grabbed some lunch and then headed home. Amazing what a difference two hours could make! It was 17°F when we headed out... and 30°F by the time we got back. It made a huge difference on the roads, too. Still a bit tricky out there, but not too horrible right now. It helps that there were very few other people out on the roads today.

We're going to spend the next two days getting geared up for being stuck at home again. Just in case!

It should be an interesting week. I need to spend some quality time thinking food stocking.... good idea!

Ha ha ha...that’s the exact same one that I picked.

I think I also need to get the similar one, with a chair. To make a set. Because there’s nowhere to imagine a tiny person, in the one that we both got. 😆😆😆

[susandennis]

depending on how this one goes, i'll probably do the other 3 rooms, too. maybe.

i do like this size so much. it's so modular. there's the blue piece, the yellow piece, the misc and the structure. My plan is to do one. Then the other. Then the structure - wallpaper, etc. And fill in with the extras.

The shadow box design of these at least makes the "what to do with them when they're finished" problem easier.

For some reason I got it into my head that once you did the measurements in the Zozo suit you'd be able to order a custom dress form. I don't understand why nobody offers that. I'm a lifelong sewing loather but even I might be tempted into it if you could get a custom form.

The rule at my Y is that if school is cancelled, all classes are cancelled that day; if schools have a two hour delay, afternoon classes are held as scheduled. I have a pinned tab in Chrome on my iPad that shows me the school union page, so I know what's going on. Barring national disaster though, the gym will be open anyway. I've convinced myself that if it's not safe for the school buses, maybe I can stay home and workout by shoveling snow.

Had not heard anything about this zozo suit business, so I went in search of information and found this:

Looks like you are in for a bit of interesting fun. I hope you have more success than this lady did.

Meh @ more snow ... fingers crossed it won't happen.

[seekerval.livejournal.com]

Just what we need here: Colder than usual temps. *Sigh* And we just had a small snowstorm yesterday afternoon, too. About 4 inches or so of the white fluffy stuff created 3 times the vehicles on the road at one time and made drivers ... well, let's say "reduced drivers' IQs by substantial amounts".

Must get lunch prepped and check on whether the drive needs shoveling before I can get out. Enjoy your snowy/swimmy morning, Susan!

Oh that's a lovely little room kit, I look forward to seeing the result

[ozswede.livejournal.com]

Well you did say that you'd like some snow 😀

I love that little room - it's really charming. Wouldn't it be nice to have that view outside your window...

Will those plants need to be watered? (I don't see a tiny watering can among the accessories.)

[susandennis]

hmmmm well. the last tiny house had a watering can. maybe a plan would be to put them next to each other so they can share.
