Happy Birthday to my sister Kim.  I tried to call her tonight to wish her a happy birthday, but there the answering machine picked up.  I sang to her and wished her a happy birthday.  Perhaps her husband and sons took her out to eat on her birthday.  Miracles do happen.

I felt so much better today than yesterday that there is just no comparison.

School went okay.  My desk was a disaster, and I putzed away at it when I had a moment free throughout the day.  It doesn't look too bad now, but it doesn't look that great either.

On my way home from school, I stopped at the Carriage House Animal Hospital and picked up Komet's ashes.  The office cat, Benjamin, rushed over to the counter and leapt up to greet me.  What a handsome boy he is!  A pale silvery gray with big green eyes and white "mascara" around his eyes.  He showered me with love and affection and was overjoyed to have my affection lavished on him in return.  I needed a kitty fix today.  

My little girl is back home again--as ashes in a tiny metal box.    I have been torturing myself tonight, looking at all my pictures of her.  She was such a pretty girl.  She contorted herself in such odd positions.  There was always love and often mischief in her eyes. 

I stopped at the post office before I came home.  My order from Woman Within was in.  I got a pale blue jacket and two thermal long-sleeved tee shirts--one lilac colored, and the other a minty green.  I will wear one of them to school tomorrow.  My long coat was not in the package.  *pout*

I was on the phone with either Theresamae or Lisa all evening.  When I got upstairs, I made a cool pipe cleaner bee.  The glue holding on his eyes is drying right now.  I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I have to get some pictures of these critters.

I'm having way too much fun with them.

That's about it for me tonight.  I hoped to finish the pink gingham dress I started last night, but I'm tired and I don't feel much like doing anything right now.

We'll see, I guess.

Overtired

I am so tired that I can't possibly sleep.

I got down to the post office--I got the mail.  *SHUDDER*

I only had two bills in the big stack of mail I sorted through--one from Capitol One and one from Xcel Energy.  I had enough money, so I paid them.  Now I have to subsist on about $50 for the next two weeks.  Arg.  No groceries this week, I guess.  Thank goodness I have meat in the freezer and plenty of canned goods.  I will be able to survive.  Also, I have a secret--I always have a hundred dollars more in my checking account than I show in my check register.  It's a little game I play with myself. 

Bad thing:  I drank my last diet coke today.  Can I live two weeks without it??  Inquiring minds are breathless to discover that information!

I had three packages in the mail....whoopee!

One was from Bobbie on the Love All Dolls group.  It was a Flava!  I had always intended to get them--especially the boys--but I was always a little short of cash. Then, suddenly, they were not there any more.  So, getting this girl was nifty.

I also got the package from Florida--20 little Kelly and Kelly clone dolls.  They are adorable.  Several are duplicates of dolls I have or of each other...so I may send some down to Jeanne-Mar and I might also offer to give a couple to the gal from Australia who has a hard time getting barbies. 

I was thinking of sewing a bunch of little white sailor dresses and making them orphans.  I could sew a nun's habit for a barbie and make her into Sister Mary Celeste.  Heh heh....I have an extra Mimi doll....I could sew her a habit and make her Mother Superior of the little orphanage....I don't know what kind of  name would be suitable for her!

It would be sort of like Madeline, but not really.

I also got the knitted bArbie clothes that I got on Ebay.  They are kinda dirty, but really neat.  I think I will hand wash them this weekend.  I could never have parted with them if MY great aunts had sewed them for me.

WEll, I have to TRY to sleep.

I'm just too buzzed up on some kind of endorphin to actually fall asleep!

ARG.
