Friday

Another triple digit day here in Dallas. It is June. Better get use to it. And I gotta say, the window a/c unit that took me a day and a half to put in, has done its job better than I ever imagine!
**Before I go bask in the coolness which also includes a TV and remote, let me tell you I got in trouble today at work. Yep. Kinda felt like a trip to the principal's office. Although the reprimand took place a few desks down from my own.
***What did I get in trouble for?  Oh, and another co-worker got pulled with me. We were both stumped. Turns out we were called on the carpet for giggling and laughing. We disrupted those around us. 
*****Really?  OK. Yea, I admit, we did take a few minutes from our job, and did a laugh about silly stuff. Was a nice, quick break. We tried to keep it not so loud, and just amongst ourselves. Evidently we failed.  I was OK with all the manager said, because it was wrong if we bothered other folks. Then the manager said the person who reported us, supposedly told us to quiet down.
****WRONG.  Never happened. And it should have. I was a bit floored with that. Then ya know, it hit me that today IS Friday. So I took a deep breath and remembered Starbucks waited for me and our end of the week date...
Not bad..not bad at all. 

Quilt Bee Me....NOT!

However my chum, Another Aries IS! We did lunch today to girl gab and laugh, especially while we realized our reading glasses didn't help us see the the menu any better! One of our many topics was Another Aries passion for quilting.

I don't get it.

Told my chum how I picture her being in the 1800's with the butter churn near by. She'd be quilting up a blanket as her young'un's rounded up cows to milk--for the butter churn. After we laughed, Another Aries explained how a machine does a majority of the work, and it's all about strips of fabric. Another Aries went on to explain the projects she's working on and plans to work on. How she wouldn't mind quilting up some mats and blankees for cats. Now, THAT perked me up. My cats always need a new item. Alas-

I still don't get the quilt thing. Memories of not so good 7th grade Home Ec grades floated back to me over my pasta lunch. Unleashing my creativity ain't about to happen in quilting either. Although, Another Aries and I spoke of being entrepreneurs. Her with her quilt wares and me with mine--which of course, is everything feline.

But ya know, it doesn't matter if I don't get quilting or not. Another Aries does. Even started a blog about her love for quilting along with other blog about life as a Proud Tejana. I suggested she post more stuff on her quilt blog since there are others who share the same passion (unlike me).

So to wrap this all up, I decided that every now and then, I'll just ask Another Aries if my cats' quilt blankee is done! They'll love it and so will I! :)

Oh, and I didn't down ALL my 74 ounces of water down today...almost...but not all...
