A Slow Day
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Oooh! Trouble with the internet connection (on their side) so I have been fighting with a balky computer all day. Ugh!
I did spend my $20 Macy's giftcard which I won over Xmas on a set of GLASSES to drink from. I have been spoiled by the lovely beer glasses I had been given - so good in the hand - so after looking (sl000wly) thru everything else I decided upon that.
While I was waiting for the computer to work its stuff, I also took out a green permanent marker & touched up my fake bonsai tree, as the color had faded from the sun in the window and it looked as if it were dying (even tho it can't). Worked out OK - and got extra off my fingers with my pumice stone - which is great for that sort of thing.
Also ran across my little bottle of Balsam Fir Needle essential oil I had used for the Xmas greenery - and afterreading the label - wafted it under my nose to refresh me. Nice. Like walking in a forest.
My scent strip potpourri has been refreshed - and I had put them on the sound equipment, which is warm, and the hotter piece of equipment must have helped to spread the fragrance, like the old perfume on a lightbulb trick - as I had to replace the whole thing, not just renew it.
Going to a happy hour meeting about a new networking site with folks from S.F. tonite & getting a chance to wear my new $3.99 batik jacket. Just right for winter in So. Cal.
Whew! Just a note about the prices on the Macy's.com website. Even with a special sale I had heard about from one of my money sites, the prices weren't low at all. I am astounded to see what my silver jewelry would cost to replace nowadays. My 2 silver cuffs are worth quite a bit (even tho I inherited one and got the other for $1 at a thrift store, all black with tarnish....) Ditto the little amethyst pendant I got a while ago on sale. I read a gemologist lately who said that he thought that those stones were underrated - and they are bargains!
More probs with the bigger hard drive, so we are back to the surplus one left over from our beach soujourn. we do make demands on our home office, hubby & I. He did well today -so I am encouraging him to ask for more Office Depot gift card $ to defray some of his outlay on supplies! Hope things speed up soon...
