I haven’t had enough time for stitching, and what little I did have today, I blew reading a really disappointing book (The Island of Lost Girls). Don’t you hate that feeling, when you put down a book and think to yourself, “What a waste of x hours – I could’ve been doing …”. But here’s Girl’s Best Friend by Birds of a Feather, so far.
I would LOVE to tear right through it – it’s so darned cute! But tomorrow is Meeting Wednesday, and there won’t be a chance to squeeze in any stitching at all.
It warmed up here today, but yesterday was cold! Flip found comfort in a box beside the woodstove. Of course it begs for all sorts of comments about letting the cat out of the bag, the Cat in the Hat, etc. Flip’s very cool with his fame, as you can see. Cats have such amazing composure.
The mailman made us all very happy today. The DVD that Niek’s parents made of our wedding arrived today. I only made one joke about it being a little early for our tenth year anniversary. 
His grandma also sent us a letter that included a press clipping – they interviewed her about the rebuilding done in her neighborhood and basically built the whole article around her opinions. She’s as composed about her fame as Flip is about his. And I received my Stitching Bits and Bobs sale order – can you believe it? They must’ve set a new speed record! I also ordered some dish towels from eBay to make into Christmas gifts next year.
(I am truly terrifying with this pre-planning and organization, aren’t I? Don’t worry, it’s bound to wear off soon.)
