bearshortyMy computer is irritating the hell out of me. It's been slow and has a tendency to freeze for a moment and then unfreeze and then freeze. I ran the anti-virus thing - nothing. I have no idea why it's doing that but it is getting really annoying. I know I should probably take it to someone to see if an expert can help.
Today, for the first time in almost two years, I picked up cross-stitching. I'm making two baby bibs for Janna's baby that is due in September. One of a baby tiger and one of baby panda. Today I did all the satin stitching - not my favorite stitch. I listened to "Barber of Seville" and remembered why I liked cross-stitching in the first place.
My parents stopped by this morning briefly to have some breakfast over at my place since they had early doctor's appointments today. My Mom brought my presents early since one of them is a blue dress I will wear tomorrow for the lunch. I was ironing it this afternoon and I really need a new iron - it was leaking the water a little and leaving little streaks. I did get the dress to look presentable but still.
Papa also got a mysterious package of books from Amazon at his work last week - mysterious since his didn't order them. So he wanted me to contact Amazon for him to find out. I did one of those chats to discover that Amazon messed up and sent him someone else's order. fun times. They are emailing him a return label.
Still working on the "West Wing" - 1/2 season left. I also started reading Bear's birthday present book (his birthday is in two weeks). It is actually fun but I will talk more about it once his birthday actually arrives. He doesn't usually read my blog, but he knows of it - so just in case.
