No updates on Lee.
The only update I've had is that Lily and Jerry got the news and are headed home, driving their camper. Kari told me that Darla had called them because she couldn't get through to mom last night--it sounded like she tried to call mom about the time mom was talking to me on the phone. She said Jerry and Lily were both crying so hard on the phone that she could hardly understand them. Poor Patty. And the poor kids. Rhonda is there, but I don't know if Roger has made it up yet from Milwaukee.
The good people at IBDoF and Kevin's Watch and my Barbie Yahoo Group are all praying for Lee and his family. All that positive energy directed at him is bound to do some good.
I got up at 7 and was at the garage sale right around 8 am. There were very few garage sale shoppers. I sold seven dollars worth of stuff--including the Native American Barbie and her papoose. Kari's stuff--$9.00 worth sold. All her stuff is now in the car, and I will be bringing it back to Ellendale with me, probably Monday.
Though Ingrid wants me to take her with me to Lori's for a treatment on her back. Gah. I don't want to. It will be so much more driving for me if I have to take her ass all the way back to West Concord and THEN go to Ellendale.
Bah....
I hauled my other three-drawer organizer upstairs when I got back from Jim and DeAnn's. We had a very late lunch (about 3 pm), so I will probably not be needing any supper tonight. I think I'll just have a bowl of ice cream and call it "good enough."
There is NOTHING going on on the internet--all my friends must be off having REAL LIVES, as opposed to poor pathetic me. Heh heh heh.
I bought chocolate chips and some crisco to make cookies to send to the Cleveland group--and I think I'll send some to my nephew Matthew as well. Jim and DeAnn will get some as well.
When Kvetch gets back from his holiday, I will send him some cookies as well, since he has expressed an interest in having some.
DeAnn gave me a plastic bag full of nice fabric for Barbie clothing. Her upstairs is looking AWESOME. It's so snug and cozy--a nice long, open space. And she has lots of bins and shelves and things to put her stuff in. It looks great. I love her rocking chair setting next to a vintage floor lamp. The perfect place to sit and read or contemplate the world. I love the color she painted the floor. She's calling it "orange" but it looks like persimmon to me. She's got a really nice cupboard with doors that she got at target. I think I might have to get one like that for my studio/computer room. It would be nice to have a place to put stuff out of sight--yet handy.
I finished sewing the two maroon and ecru striped Tutti outfits. They turned out cute--but they would really have benefitted from sailor collars. Now, i think it is too late, since the facing is already sewed down. The fabric would be too bulky because the collar would have to be double fabric. Also, the closest thread I had to match was red, and it shows through a bit. I may have to keep both of those outfits for myself, since they have that little "flaw." I don't know how grumpy an ebay buyer would be to see that kind of thing. Maybe it wouldn't bother them a bit--but maybe they'd go ape shit. You just never know.
I can't believe it is already 5:30 It's late. I'm tired. I could really use a nap, but if I fall asleep NOW, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. A horrible possibility.
I'm going to attempt to get some stuff organized in my bedroom now. I think I'll either watch some more of the OC on my computer--or else watch that new Appleseed anime I bought at Walmart last week.
I was going to do laundry tonight, but I am absolutely too exhausted to think about it. I will do it first thing in the morning. I have to, or I won't have anything cool to wear for next week. And I am sure it is supposed to be hot again. I hate a hot summer.
Bleah.
Well, gotta go do something productive!
