I love Vera Bradley's things. My current quilted material purse is a Stone Mountain one. I think the one I had before that was V B.
Machines: Do we count phones? (1) calculator (2) lights (3) car (4) clock (5) Coffeepot (6) computer (7) copier (8) and if we count the non-electric gadgets I've used since I got up, it'd be a longer list: commode, stapler, scissors, paper cutter, tape dispenser, etc. etc. We sure are a modern society, aren't we!
I guess if you read the above list you can guess what I've been up to. Desk day, copying papers with some cut-and-taped together, computer to check words in one language to another; trip to store for stuff for lunch (DH and friend are trimming our palm trees outside and I had to get lunch and more drinks - does anyone come to work prepared these days?)
Checked in to see if we heard anything from
Dee. She's on my mind a lot.
As far as being optomistic today, well...I woke up with a bunch of grumpiness and I don't know why except that DH keeps interrupting me...take a picture of guys in the tree, dumb stuff, etc. go get lunch; where's the money to pay this guy
Ok, off to work on my translation again.
Oh, yesterday was really nice. I had calls from DD's and DGSons and talked with DGD who sent me one of those potholders they make on a loom (pretty pastel colors) and I got a card and a gift card. At church I grabbed DH to go to the photo display to get our picture taken together. It will be on their website for us to use and if it turns out well I'll get prints made. We don't have a picture for a good many years.
Went out to lunch at a soup/salad/sandwich place with 4 other people then 2 came along from church and joined us. Nice conversation. Felt like a celebration. All of us were away from kin.
Afternoon we spent putting new headlight in car and 2 new hood lifters (I helped). Begs the question: is there any part of this old car we haven't fixed?
LadyM, haven't used that creme but just recently I bought a little jar of eye cream; not gonna take the wrinkles or bags away, but makes me feel like I'm doing something for the aging face! Just bought a generic and like it, it's very moisturizing but light in texture.
