Hi folks. Guess who's feeling better? Yep. I think we are over the hump. Unfortunately, mine has increased enough to not allow zipping. Needed to put on a decent outfit for a funeral home visit and ended up searching for the biggest tunic I have to cover that hump! It doesn't matter if I am facing forward, backward, or sideways, waist to crotch looks the same at all angles. I am so angry with myself for gaining it all back. Just because there was anxiety and stress did not mean I had to stuff my face at every turn and explode out of my pants. Dammit.
So I picked out a few charts (Plantation Sampler, Ann Medd) and checked Ebay for average prices. Take a look at the discrepancy here. One went for 67.99, a week later another was 70.00, so a seller decided it would be a good time to list the same chart and only received a few bucks. All three were sold this past August. I check the completed listing box to see what sold and for what price. Always a crap shoot on Ebay isn't it?
It's hot. Ooooooh baby is it hot. If there weren't so many bugs at night I would stay on the swing until midnight.
I was a little upset when we came home earlier today and found a pamphlet sticking out of my new expensive door, INSIDE. It seems the famous religious group that visits homes decided to push my weather stripping away from the door and insert their material. I was furious. If they come back, I will show them the damage to the now crinkled vinyl. That takes a lot of nerve!
Carole's blood work is Friday and doc on Monday so I have Thursday to stay home and rid the house of chocolate. Of course, there are two ways to accomplish that.
Hope your week is going swell!!
Thanks for the visit.

You are so right. I checked ebay for a few designs by Prairie Schooler. If you wanted originals $35 to $40 dollars, reprints $9. I could care less for the originals!
I have the same problem with ridding the house of evil food! Hope things start to turn around for you and you get to slow down a bit.
Glad Carol is doing better. I know weight is so hard to get rid of. I am still trying myself. With this bad back of mine it is so hard to exercise or even walking now. big hugs to you both
Glad Carole is feeling better. Now for you to do the same.
Have been working on some free charts and find them to be a little bit more difficult to do than ones like PS. Am working on a snowman now.....who says "will work for freezer space".
Am so tired of the awful heat and humidity. Maybe some cooler weather this weekend ?
Take care

Take photos of the damage and take the photos and the pamphlet to the local church. Tell them if they show up at your home again, you'll call the cops. Then demand payment for the damages.
Can't wait to catch up. I needed a good laugh and I knew where to find it. Thank God for Carols improvement. Now maybe you can relax more. On my lunch break. Later.
I'm glad Carol is a bit better. And sorry about the weight gain, but as much stress as you've been under, better that than in jail for throttling someone. Even if they did deserve it.
As for the door damage - put in a police report about the damage, maybe trespassing, and go after them for fixing it. Next time they show up, you may not be home again. Even if you do lose, it may make enough impression they don't dare stop again for a very long time. Sigh. OTOH, maybe all that would be more stress that you don't need. Perhaps my own stress level is showing?
Sometimes it's the way the title is worded....sometimes it's the category it's posted under....and yes...it's also a crap shoot when it comes to who's looking for what and how much they want to pay. And now, the weather has lots to do with it too...
I know I had a couple of my cross stitch chart listings go for a dollar or so in the red...since eBay shipping calculator isn't always accurate... those padded mailers cost more than a regular envelope type mailer because they are "stiff and not easy to bend"... go figure...
Hoping that Carol continues to improve! Hugs!
