dchenesIt rained last night. I wish I had listened to myself when I left for my class and thought "Oh, it is SO going to rain..." because I got rained on coming home. Oh well. I obviously didn't melt.
Speaking of melting, it takes two days to thaw out frozen chicken without a microwave. That's absurd.
Mirabilia has done it to me again. www.sewandso.co.uk actually has a list of supplies for Garden Verses, and I don't have most of the floss I would need, so I have no idea what the color scheme looks like. Therefore, I can't see what color linen would work. This all falls under "wishful thinking" anyway, since even if I could afford to buy the supplies and all, I wouldn't have the time to actually stitch anything until Christmas.

I win. I got my friend Solange's computer to talk to her printer/copier/scanner/fax machine. I got fed lunch for my trouble, too. Whee! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get a printer driver off the internet and onto a computer with a 14.4 modem, running Win95, without it taking all day. I'm hoping I can get my laptop to save the downloaded driver as a PC file on a CD, and therefore hoping the ancient PC will read the CD. At least Solange has one printer that works now. I don't know why she wants the other system up too, but she asked me to see if I can do it, so I'll see if I can do it.
Damn it, I forgot I was going to buy milk on the way back from the computer adventure. I guess I should go out again and do that.
