Arrrgh!!!

Today is a day full of errands, but it snowed last night, and I've decided to get a late start so that I won't have to compete with those who are trying to get to work under less than ideal conditions. (That's a classy way of saying I slept in, and am off to a late start. *G*)

I need to start with the bank for both the business and our personal banking.

Then, Home Depot is across the street. I need Safer Soap, and those crystals that absorb water and then release it into the soil of potted plants. I hope they have them, this time of year.

Then I need to stop at one of the big fabric chain stores and pick up two yards of camouflage fabric to make cooling scarves for the troops in Iraq. Our exercise group is sending over comfort boxes, and I'd like to add these to the boxes. The absorbent crystals are used in these scarves.

The next stop is Target for toothpaste and nail clippers to round out the shopping for those boxes. Elegante Mother and I went hog-wild at Sam's Club yesterday, but I wanted the small travel sized toothpaste tubes, and Sam's doesn't carry that sort of thing.

I need to make a stop at my favorite fabric shop to pick up a yard of fabric for the quilt I'm presently creating. I can't wait, or it could be gone, never to be reordered. If I miss getting the fabric, I'll just sit down and pull my hair out, I swear! I've been working on the color placement for this project for the past month, and I think I've finally found an order to the colors that I can live with. Unfortunately, I'm short about half a yard of fabric to create the design, and I'd have to start all over again should this piece not be available. Pray for me!

I need to go to the post office. EM has a letter that needs to go to Canada, and it requires overseas postage. I think I know the amount, but I don't want this to come back, so I'll make the extra stop.

THen.....groceries. I sure wish I knew what we were having this week other than salad. I'm fresh out of ideas. Do you think if I cooked grilled cheese sandwiches every night that my family would get the idea and give me a hand planning our meals??

Once I get the errands run, and bring in the groceries, it's office work for me. I'm actually looking forward to it. The day is bright and sunny, but cold, so it will be good to be where I can look out,and enjoy it, but not have to deal with the wind chill.

Have a good day!
