Family first and then flypaper thoughts

Before I go any further with updates, my daughter and her girls were in the paper at home today re her sewing business, not to promote but...


BTW I have been offered an early retirement from the purchasing department since the $127.00 rick rack binge (yeah but wait till she sees it - this girl has to start understanding that stashing way more than you need is a vital part of the sewing life) but I understand there is an opening in the sewing-on-binding department.


Great.


Now here's what's sticking in my brain today:

• My mother has finished her "who to call when I die" list, with phone numbers and back-ups to kids if somebody is in Florida.
• Where did we get someone this cheerful about everything?
• And I mean everything.
• I would really like to see a female anchor on the news whose upper lip still moved.
• Speaking of which, one thing I noticed about the South was that whenever you make eye contact with someone their mouth immediately goes into a smile mode.
• This is not the case in every part of the world.
• I am fighting my sweet tooth.
• Seems like about time.
• I would kill for a butter tart about now.
• There is no-fat cottage cheese in the fridge.
• In the middle of the ER my mother turned to me and said "You know I am on Linkedin."
• Put her status as looking for opportunities.
• What are they doing to the English language?
• My mom's washer has three knobs "Status", "Modifiers" and "Options"
• What ever happened to "On-Off", "Hot-Cold" and "Normal-Delicate?"
• I think this might be part of a bigger problem.
• Where's that man who brings me cherry pie?
• In Tennessee packing three sewing machines and a bale of yarn around a motorcycle, that's where.
• We will meet up Monday in Florida.
• In Winnipeg you are pretty sure you are not in Florida.
• I'll discuss the third sewing machine later.
• My niece who has been in Guatemala is coming to see my mom next week.
• She has been having cold outdoor showers for 9 months.
• She was happy there.
• She didn't miss butter tarts.
• Why didn't I pack my serger?
• I could have fit it into my canning pot.
• I am definitely going to get right on that Chanel jacket as soon as I see it again.
• I need to sew.
• I love my mom.
• What a piece of work.
