I have to admit, the Dad of our house, Beloved Hubby, wasn't well today. Still, he pushed himself through some work today, and is hopefully asleep. I'd join him, but one of my prescripts requires me to be upright for 30min after taking it.
It was a quiet Father's Day 'round here. Much as Mother's Day kinda got neglected because I was sick, so too was Dad's Day. I mostly cleaned the beyond unhealthy kitchen while he worked and got the piles of neglected dishes washed. Found out that, when I selected that 10lb bag of potatoes, I somehow got Pirates of the Caribbean spuds. Yup, there was a cartoon image of Capt. Jack Sparrow on the bag, along with a lame recipe featuring Goofy, and a food pyramid illustration with Mickey Mouse. Never heard of 'Disney Garden' vegetables, but clearly, they exist. At least the tubers didn't taste like Mouse...although I might not have minded a buttered, cheesy bite of Depp...
Looked around for some more freebie patterns, but didn't find any. Gonna have to roll up my sleeves later this week and dig. There are still some Vogue and McCall's patterns in print out there, and if you live near a Hancock Fabrics or Joanne's, or any other pattern-bearing craft store, it's a good idea to get on their mailing lists. It's how most of my $18. patterns only cost $4.75 or 99c. Also, most crafters know about the 99c sales. So those $20. McCall's rarely get above $3. plus shipping on eBay. All pattern companies have online catalogs, so you can see if there's anything you like before hunting in earnest for the best price.
All that said, I'm still gonna see what freebies I can find again. I swear, our old computer got taken out three months ago, and I still stumble over a loss from it every few days. Still haven't gotten Doll Shop Deluxe to even load on the new Vista-based computer, although Livingsoft says it should. (sigh) Even after I told them precisely what problem I'm having, and their own site doesn't mention Vista at all...
Well, I'm getting sleepy - warm ham on sourdough toast sandwich will do that to a girl ! - so I'm out. Hope your day was warm and wonderful !
