– The Vikings were victorious yesterday, and I headed home from the cabin this morning. I got back around 1.00pm, after making a few stops, and managed to keep myself busy until the sun had gone down. I don’t really like taking photos after dark and with lamps on, but this is what (part of) my living room looks like in the evening.
– I stopped at an outlet center on my way home, and then I went to Subway for lunch. I am 99% sure that I have never, ever ordered food at a Subway (having not been to one since I was little and didn’t do my own ordering). The feeling was very much the same as when I get confused and embarrassed at shops in Germany. I don’t speak fast food!
– I also went to Michael’s (with a 40% off coupon) and bought a 36″x24″ canvas, onto which I will Mod Podge my map of Canada (technically, it’s a map of the highways of Canada and the northeast United States). A little jar of Mod Podge was $6, so I passed, knowing for sure that I already had at home either the exact same stuff or, at least, a bottle of white glue that I could water down. I’ll let you guess which of those two I was able to find. Oh wait, there’s a third option: neither. Arg.
– So instead of Mod Podging, I finished piecing together the front and back of the new quilt for my bedroom. I was going to sandwich it all together tonight, but it’s so big (a queen size) that I’ll have to rearrange some furniture in the living room to be able to spread it out. Tomorrow. The cats are already SO EXCITED to help.
– While I was away, it seems a new set of spammers found my blog. I moderate every comment, of course, so I just had to delete a bunch of pending comments instead of worrying that they’d already been published. What I find perplexing, though, is that 90% of the spam comments go into the normal ‘pending’ folder. Actual comments, however, almost always get filed away in the spam folder. And Movable Type doesn’t (as far as I know) have a ‘See What You’re Doing? Now Do the Opposite’ button. Oh, how I wish I had such a button for everyday life!
– Also, an aside to my Twin Cities readers: I only heard from one person about getting together! Don’t be scared! I was only kidding about needing you to protect me (I’m a pretty good scratcher).
If you were in AZ, I’d RSVP in a heartbeat. Well, a heartbeat after worrying if I’d be completely out of my league.
Lovely cosy photo. And new quilt, eeeee! The map project sounds fun too, I’m off to google Mod Podge… whatever it is, I think I kind of want some, it makes pretty much the best verb ever!
Oh I know what you mean about ‘fast food speak’! I recently had to take a niece through a Macdonalds drive in – my first ever experience of Macdonalds – and I felt such a fool getting flustered about what to do! Never again!
Sorry about the spammers Anna – they are such an irritation aren’t they.
Haha, love that your cats are ready to go.
I hate getting spam in the comments. Annoying!
Have you ever used Yes! paste? I am not sure how it would work instead of Mod Podge but it is good for sticking stuff, and it can be watered down. It’s not as cheap but I have a huge jar I’ve had for years and it is still good.
Katie, that’s sweet of you to say. But I’m totally sure it’s not true (the league-y part)!
i would put such a button on some people’s heads. does that sound mean? maybe… but a lot of time people act in public the opposite of how they should act in public.
If the Twelve22 get-together is this weekend, I will totes attend!
