Too Much of a Good Thing

I wonder if I will ever get back to quilting.  A's puppy quilt is abandoned on my design wall.  I'm supposed to be quilting Twilight, but I haven't been.

C got her dress.  Her dad took her back to Neiman's on Sunday.  We learned two things:  even Neiman's can be affected by the economy and they only take American Express.

They have shortened their hours because of the economy.  M had to write a check of all things.  Who does that anymore?!  He didn't have the other option of an AmEx card.

I still love the dress, but definitely know it's not worth it and terribly overpriced.  Hey, Shannon...if you pop in an read this post:  Do you think about $25 worth of fabric and notions?!

I think my body is out of alignment.  My hip hurt like crazy yesterday and today from all the walking I did on Saturday.  I am so pathetic!

On another note, after not seeing HP Deathly Hallows Part I in the theater, I've seen it way too many times now.  I tried to watch it Friday night without the noise of the kids like M suggested.  He was snoring about halfway through so I gave up.  I saw it three separate times on Saturday through various points as the kids watched it separately.  I saw it a couple of times on Saturday.  Too much of a good thing?  Well, I am looking forward to the second part.  I hope it gets more exciting.....  Maybe I can finish the book before it comes out.

M got our taxes done at 1:45 this morning.  He's annoyed that we broke even between federal and state.  He always loves a big refund.  I'd rather use my money during the year and not have the government using it.  I guess it depends on how you look at it.  I think he was looking forward to using the money, though, and was counting on it.  We both made more money last year, but have little to show for it in the scheme of things.  I still think there is something he's not telling me....in fact, I know there is something he's not telling me.  Oh, well.  It's not like he ever actually gave me any of our refunds in cash.  I'm not saying he didn't put it to good use by paying bills with them in the past.

He's off with the boys tonight at a Rockies game.  The Rockies had a tax day deal.  $10.40 tickets that I heard about on the radio this morning.  I purchased good seats for them in the lower level outfield.  The seats are normally $70 seats.  The weather is really crappy, though.  They headed out bundled up.  I hope they have fun.  Z's birthday is tomorrow.  One of the things he asked for was Rockies tickets for good seats.  The deal was kismet!

It's just S and I tonight.  C is off at a lacrosse game with the Prom Date.  I still haven't met the kid.

I should get some sewing done, but I'm not feelin' it.
