memo and notes
Jul. 19th, 2016 07:34 pmTuesday, 1.9 mile walk in 101 heat index weather. when I got back to work, I was sweating.Embarassingly excessively so. Why is it that you always sweat more for a few minutes AFTER you quit exercising? I really really need to get up an hour and half earlier and have time to go out in the morning; cooler and I could do somewhat longer distances; only thing is I feel creaky in the mornings and it seems to take me the first mile or so to stretch out and begin to enjoy moving. Not to mention there is the getting up earlier part...
Feeling pretty confident that I can get the quilt finished in the next week in time to get it to Judy before she leaves town. May take a couple of late caffinated nights, but I think I can do it. Noticed one annoying (how am I going to fix it) glitch, the backing on one side of the quilt is about a quarter inch shy of where it needs to be to match edgs with the quilt top. Guess I can sew on a narrow strip and then trim it to the right size before doing the binding; it would only show on the back. Imperfections piss me off though; especially if I'd been a bit more careful measuring in the first place it could have been avoided. It will be good to actually finish the project though; I know Judy has been waiting patiently. It also makes a statement giving it to her before she moves away; she's taking her love for Heinz with her.
Need to remember to get my Dad a birthday card and get it in the mail; his birthday is coming up next week, and I know he prefers "real mail" to email and ecards. heck, I do too, but I've just gotten lazy. I mean, I kept pen and paper journals for years.
Have bought some etsy odds and ends to make a tropical flower hair piece. Lol, of course I couldn't find a readymade one that was "perfect". I want one that will match with my hawaiian dress. Which I haven't even worn yet! Planning to do so for the Library Luncheon on Aug 2. Oh, but the flowers aren't for that. They are for a photo shoot. The Dixie Danger Dolls are going to do a pin up calendar, to fundraise for next year's pageant. I'm helping coordinate the group of gals for "August", the theme being "Tiki Party". Luckily, the photographer who's taking the calendar shots just happens to have a cool Tiki bar at his family's house that we can use as a location. The shoot's going to be sometime in Sept. I also bought some bone carved tiki pendants to give to all the girls of August; planning to use mine as part of the hairpiece.
