Thinking about the day...

As I finished the "girl day" projects
I am kind of stumbling around this morning trying to decide
what I really wish to work on...
I have told my girls, now is the time,
keep cutting and I will keep sewing for them.
I do want to try a dress out for Hoperdoo, but don't know if I want to today.
And of course, I will be making another set of cheesecakes today, German Chocolate. Not my favorite, but way pretty when it is topped...
I am ahead of schedule with cheesecake baking,
however, I think I will need to literally clean out my freezer to find space for all of them. Currently, it is becoming a bit snug.
Rainy night and looks like a rainy day,
should be making noodles with chicken for tonight
and possibly a few rolls...my favorite rainy day food...
Now, off to make cheesecakes!

Accomplishment...

• repaired machine
• two cheesecakes

learned I need to better organize my "girlies", plan just a tiny bit earlier, and really make hay...
Also learned, shift the serger over to it's own place and assign someone to it...
Buy a left handed pair of scissors...
be certain to have something come from Invictus for the boys...
and insist on clean up before disappearing...
Also learned (perhaps most important lesson) I need to do this more often...

After "Girl Time"

When we had finished with "Girl Time" we went to "Mom, your killing me" time. No fooling... Air and Hoperdoo went home (not really into the rest of my day's plans) and Marlo and I went looking for her a dress. Shazaaammmmm, first store, thirty minute success!!!

Then....onto Mom's Quest....
I only took her to one store, I had already brought home what I thought I liked, so we wandered up and down one whole aisle. And a bit of another one, very briefly. Finding things to match is a pain. If all I wanted was one item, no sweat, we would have walked in, walked out. Finally, after much comparing and looking and discussing... I (notice I didn't say "we") made a choice. Not Marlo's favorite, but one she said "went together", purchased all of that fun tile and came home,
I was worried they might run out!
Unloaded and stacked in the nearby room, awaiting the time until the "Project" begins...

The next morning (as in yesterday) Air calls and says, "Did you buy the tile? I have a friend that needs to get rid of some..." So...for now we will wait and see what the "friend's" tile looks like and may haul everything back to the store and start the matching process again...Sorry Marlo...
