missed one

I woke up this morning and realized that I didn't post last night. Oh well, I didn't have much to say anyway.

I went to an offsite today. I don't know what the hotel that was holding summit was thinking, but it was too darn cold sitting at the table. First I wrapped the scarf around my neck, then I had my coat on my shoulders and finally, I had to put the coat on. I know they like to make it cold to keep people alert, but it has the opposite effect on me, I tend to go to sleep when it's too cold.

As I was walking to the hotel, I saw the big Barnes & Noble on 17th Street which I was led to believe had close. Unless the person meant the one that was on 23rd Street, which was not a big B&N store to me.

Quilting update: I wish I had the machine that could do the fancy smancy quilting stitches. All I know to do is straight, well in my case, not-so straight lines up and down the quilt.

Word of the day: Chaos - great disorder or confusion

Trivia: On this day in 1871, the Great Fire of Chicago broke out. At least 300 people were killed and 90,000 were left homeless.

on TV tonight: Rita Rocks, Bones, CSI, The Mentalist

Steps taken today: 10,239

I'm reading Elvis and the Grateful Dead by Peggy Webb, the second book in the "Southern Cousins" mystery series.

Is that why places like that keep the conference rooms so cool? Makes sense. I am sure your straight stitching will be great.
I still have a hard time believing that fire was started by an oil lamp and a cow. *G*

Is the latest Elvis book as good as the first?

Enjoy your evening!

I have every bit of faith that your straight stitching will be beautiful!

Sorry you froze during your meeting! Doesn't sound comfortable at all.

Happy Friday!

I hate when places are sooo cold. I have a sweater here at work since they tend to put the temps way down which makes people sick since it has been 90s outside.

I can't stand extremes of temperature in conference rooms.

I fall asleep in the cold, too -- hibernation, maybe?

The stitching on the quilt you made me is lovely... I don't know what you're talking about.
