Apr. 3rd, 2013 02:11 pmSo, if you had a fairly obscene number of unredeemed credit card reward points and had discovered you could spend them on Amazon, what would you do? I started an Acquisition Cycle (tm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I spent $225 of a possible $600 in points on DVDs and a pre-order for volume 3 of the complete Pogo. I couldn't bring myself to be any more profligate than that in one sitting. But I will enjoy owning all of Foyle's War and all of Rocky & Bullwinkle (and a few other random things, like season 3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender; I already have season 2 and season 1 is All About Katara and that gets on my nerves).
And then there are the reward points from the other credit card, which are going for three (or possibly two and a new mattress pad) sets of sheets that actually fit my gargantuan deep mattress. That idea has been on the list for a while, but I never get around to it because sheets are expensive. Now I don't have an excuse not to get around to it, so new sheets it is.
Speaking of sheets, or at least of fabric, I would love to know how I ended up with two different versions of a floss list for the same embroidery pattern. One of them is Not Right, since a symbol that's supposed to mean red is listed as green, but of course I didn't know I had two different versions until last night. Guess which version I took with me when I went floss shopping last month? Fortunately I had most of the right floss already (hooray for a stash that takes up three huge binder rings!), so I only need five new colors. Now that Windsor Button is gone, I have to go to Michael's in Porter Square for floss. I wish there was somewhere a little more local than that, but at least mail order isn't the only option (yet).
Complaining aside, life is pretty darn good. Especially since there's some indication that it might be done SNOWING (no promises about lower-case snowing until next month, though), and I can sing again now that my cough is finally in its last throes.
