Just another Thursday...

We had snow here last night. It was still chilly this afternoon but sunny....which I'm thankful for, since I had to catch the bus and go shopping. Got off at the post office, then walked to the store. Tried to take my time shopping, to waste most of the hour until next bus, but still I ended up out there waiting for a long time to catch a bus to come back home. I just barely got back before it started raining. Spent a few minutes playing with some quilt pieces that came in the mail, then snuggled up with a heating pad and took a nap. Had leftover spaghetti for dinner, and now it's time for Grey's Anatomy, I'll finish off my chocolate peanut butter cups, and I think I may actually go to bed early tonight. (Won't happen, but it sounds virtuous)

I was just sitting here thinking I can't forget to do my exercise tonight, especially after I had a mental boost today when I stepped on the scale and discovered I'd lost 5 of the 10 pounds I've regained since Thanksgiving....but then I remembered I've HAD my exercise for today! Since it was sunny and not too windy I walked a few blocks up the road to catch the bus (instead of right outside my yard), then walked from post office to the store, and back from bus stop to my house with my groceries, then I went out and split some firewood. Gee, I'm all tuckered out.

Wow....is that an exciting day, or what!

A Feathers update...

I have the most boring life imaginable so nothing much from me at the moment, except an update on my "feathers" project. 20 completed triangles, of the 36 I need. I'd love to get the diamonds all pieced by the end of March. Need to get a pattern drafted for the plain corner pieces and start thinking about a quilting design! A reminder--these are being made with 19th century reproduction prints, handpieced and will be handquilted.
