Day 3 was easy. It was still really cold and the Bead Group came over. Everyone was here except for Marge who had to work. We did talk about Quitting Shopping. Some think that no shopping or substitute shopping should be allowed. I say it's OK. For example, if there is something that is only found at a certain Dollar Store near Wendy's house, it is OK for me to ask her to pick up a few packages of Jolly Rancher Fruit n' Sours if she is ever in there, and I would pay her back. Also it would be OK for Steve to make a return at the Home Decorators Store and pick up some items that I ordered in December that have just come in. Sue says no on both of these, and now that I have written it out, the Dollar Store is iffy. The Home Decorators return and pick up still seem OK. There is no cash outlay, and the return means money back! Looks like a certain someone with a taste for Sour Fruit Candy might have to wait a month for his sweets. (I mean sours!)
BEAD GROUP: Thursdays are my favorite day of the week, because every Thursday for the past 12 or 13 years, a group of 11, now 9 of us get together for the afternoon around someone's kitchen or dining room table, and we chat and eat and bead and knit and crochet and wire work and chat for 3-4 hours. We laugh a lot. We commiserate if necessary. Everyone brings her own personality and love to the group. It's very special. Creativity is the common thread that weaves the group together along with open happy sharing personalities. We share good things and we've shared sad events because two of our own have died. Carol was an incredible bead artist with a strong no nonsense direct personality which belied a loyalty to her family and friends. Janice was a renaissance woman who knew something about absolutely everything. She was a gourmet cook, a crafter and a keeper of knowledge. She had great euphemisms.
So today was Thursday, and group was here, and as usual we had a great little time!
Sue even played half a Scrabble game with me, but had to quit when Wendy said it was time for them to go, and Sue had 4 I's and 3 other fun vowels on her rack anyway. Even vowel dumps couldn't help that line up.
Do I use too many exclamation points? There was a Seinfeld about that.
