Here's another picture of me hard at work with my lovely plastic make-your-hands-sweat gloves. I have to say however, that by the end of the week, my hands were soft as could be!! I did double and triple duty, as did everyone else, at the cash register, changing gloves dozens of times lest the Dungeon Master tell me for the hundredth time that I just contaminated my hands.
Funny, she never told THESE guys they required gloves!! Food service and all that. I finally told her loudly and in no uncertain terms I was really getting tired of hearing she had food service training. It worked!! I didn't hear her mention it again.
Okay, that's the last of the breakfast burrito pictures. I'm happy to report I'm a very stable person and my stable is definitely intact and healthy.
I made a quick trip to my local quilt store, only to find they didn't have hardly anything at all. That's definitely a plus. I only got what I needed to finish the present quilt, spending a measly $31. Now if I can just remember what I was DOING with this quilt.
Directions are not always very clear and sometimes take great concentration to figure out. Once you do, it's always nice to finish it all at once and not take a weeks break. I had to start all over again and figure out what the heck I was supposed to be doing.
In between sewing and resting, I spent a couple of hours steam cleaning the floors of all the puppy prints and leftover bits of food. They seem to enjoy taking a big mouthful of that home cooked deliciousness and spitting it out on the floor before consuming it. I put a mat down, but they just took a couple steps further to be sure it landed on the wood, not the mat.
Another 106 degree day was followed by a 66 degree night. It should cool down to the mid 90's this week. Interestingly enough, it's hotter here than in Tucson. I hope that trend continues, as I'll be heading out before too long.
Nice to get that cooking all wrapped up, heck more fabric and some resting time would be wonderful , Then Tucson bound.
ReplyDeleteI have to quit buying fabric ... with my summertime water-the-lawn bill, I'm going to be broke! LOL
DeleteI love the pictures of the 3 ladies - noticed the hands on hips pose. Nice one of you though.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with my crafts that I don't do regularly.
Clemson does the same thing with his food. We've tried training him to do two things - make the bed and clean up his food after he's done eating. haha
Ah yes ... I've tried getting Coop to make the bed. He just makes it worse than when he started! LOL
DeleteIf you want softer hands put hand lotion on and then put your rubber gloves on overnight
ReplyDeleteIt's a trick that my dad used in the winter time to keep his hands from chipping
By the way I thought you were retired
DeleteI AM retired and I'm taking full advantage of that the rest of the month! Great idea with the hand lotion.
DeleteRetired is short for really tired! Cindy is definitely a STABLE quilter.
ReplyDeleteHahaha you are right Ray!!! On both accounts!! But what would we do without quilting??
DeleteAnimals are no fools they won't contaminate their food on a mat. If you just served it in Wooden Bowls you wouldn't have that problem.
ReplyDeleteBet your neighbours didn't see Snow last winter like Tucson did.
Be Safe and Enjoy working on your Quilt.
It's about time.
That's weird about the critters. I might try that.
