I don't know why I did it. I shouldn't have...I really shouldn't have but...

I guess because at work I have this handy Canon calculator with a big bold display and the tape, with the item count. I just started punching in numbers out of curiosity and ended up at $522.15 and that is without 4 items that have since come up with the red "out of stock" notice. I fear the "out of stock" notice! What if they never come back in stock?? :icon_scared:

Why is fabric so addictive???

Yikes, I haven't even added up the "wish list." After reviewing my receipts since January, I definitely need to go on a fabric diet in lieu of eating!

Has everyone noticed that Vicki is still working? She just needs to skip lunch until she can retire, save that money . . . and when she retires she may be able to get that wish list taken care of.

Vicki, I think in Mo they would call you a piker ( MO slang for slacker), cause my list is about double that!

I'm afraid to have a wish list, so I don't have one! haha!

Hugs,

Vicki, welcome to my world! :icon_hi:

I wonder if ice makers even exist over here for personal use. I'm sure the pubs have them since they will give ice if it's asked for. I can't tolerate sweet tea. Even though I've got southern blood in me I just can't stand beverages being super sweet unless it's got alcohol in it. Hmmm - I believe there are alcoholic drinks made with tea. Am I right about that? I just looked up tea with alcohol and was surprised to see quite a long list. None of the names sounded familiar. Hmmmm....

We have a portable ice maker that is for our travel trailer. When not traveling, it stays in my studio with me. I chew ice CONSTANTLY so I empty that poor little thing 3-4 times a day, but at least I'm getting my water intake (empty, it will hold a gallon of water) even if I am killing my teeth!

I had a VERY short wish list, maybe 4 or 5 items....broke down & ordered all, now waiting on the order to arrive. Oh the anticipation! :icon_mooooh: Makes me a little nuts...waiting. Just the idea of adding up my receipts from just the last 3 months or so from M* & Fat Quarter Shop, plus LQS makes me a little light headed. Fabric diet may be needed or fabric intervention!!

Really?? Well I would not want to be known as a slacker in any geographic region so I might just have to go add some stuff. ;)

I can get on board with the lunch skipping, but I'm going to need to get that wish list long before retirement! Unless I pick the right numbers in the lottery this week. And remember to play them. :D

Now, for the roller coaster ride you experienced, I suggest a nice cup of coffee, tea, sweet tea and a chocolate bar. Works like a charm for me.

Blondie - I'm convinced no one outside of the South can make a decent glass of sweat tea. Including myself. So I went with the chocolate!
