Well, I have declared this a Weekend of Slackdom.

(I do have to teach the adult Sunday school class tomorrow, but I have that prepared.)

I'm heading off to McKinney - I skimmed a bit out of my savings account to pay for the day's shopping. (And I also found out that my payment was FINALLY posted at the credit card company - seriously - they received it on the 1st and didn't post it until last night. It's an EFT, which I thought could take effect immediately. Whatever.)

I finished Perky Goth Bumblebee Girl. (And honestly - and dragon knitter, you may be disgusted/irritated by this, but - if I were doing the high school thing over again? I'd probably choose Perky Goth if I were choosing an "alternative identity." It sounds fun. [truth be told, I probably would have been too inhibited to do it, but it does sound fun.] I was, I guess the closest I could say I was, was a nerd. I got good grades, I wore glasses and a retainer, I had bad hair, I dressed badly...but being a nerd isn't real fun.) I'll post a picture either this afternoon or tomorrow.

I also picked up my two quilted-quilts yesterday. I do still have to bind them; I think that's a project for this evening (if I'm not too tired after a day of SHOPPING*) or for tomorrow. And then pictures will come.

(*Yeah, yeah, I know. I should feel really guilty about being so excited and happy to be going out and spending my hard-earned money on things I don't literally need. And about burning a quarter tankful of gas. And about spending a day being shallow. But gotdang, I'm mentally burnt out and was kind of depressed all last week, and I think scented soap and antique doilies and some new quilt fabric and a nice lunch out will probably be a good cure.)

Enjoy your day out in McKinney! I find that sometimes the only thing that will take my mind out of the doldrums is a good dose of retail therapy!

(When I get like that, even Target works. But a day with antique stores, lunch or tea, perhaps even a pedicure and I'm all better.)
