See-Saw of a Day
My day was going along peachy-keen, 'til I came home for lunch. I thought I'd grab a quick turkey sandwich. While trying to slice some meat off the bird, I attempted to also slice some meat off my finger! Quite a nice slice, I might add. I clamped down on it and ran upstairs to get a band-aid. Ever try to open a band-aid while holding onto a bleeding finger? Let me tell you... It's not an easy feat!! Yes. Yes. I *know* what you all are thinking! Stumbling over twigs and falling - Fall up and down the stairs - Now cutting my finger. Just put me in a padded room with nothing I can hurt myself on. Wait! Am I allowed to have needles and scissors??
OK, so fast forward to class. I got my 3rd test back. I got a 91%!!! Woo Hoo! After taking it last week, I wasn't so confident that I did very good. The answers must've been in my subconscious, cuz I certainly didn't think I *knew* them.
So then I get home tonight. No internet. In fact, I haven't had internet since lunchtime. So I call the ISP. THREE times! I got hung up on twice. While on hold the 3rd time waiting for a "live" person, the ISP was beeping in. At least I was hoping that's who it was when I answered the call. I complained about the long waiting time (over an hour total), and the fact I'd been hung up on twice. After she got me up and running, she says to me: "Well if it makes you feel any better, I haven't had any dinner and I don't get off until 10pm. I complain about my phone service and no one does anything." I won't tell you what was going through my mind...
In my mail today, came a RAK from Dawn B in TX. She'd been looking through my albums and saw that I had the Prairie Schooler Pins & Needles chart on my Wish List. She had it and sent it to me. Wasn't she just a sweetheart? Thank you, Dawn! It made my day.

You were not having a good Monday! Hope the rest of the week goes better. That is a very cute chart from Dawn-I havent' seen that pattern before.
Hope your cut finger isn't going to stop you stitching... ((((Meari))))
You are most welcome for the RAK..
Hope you enjoy & happy stitching..
I am sorry you have had such a bad day, hope things are going better and hope your fingure is feeling better!!!
I love the Pin and Needles! Dawn is such a sweetheart!!!

Great news on your test!! :)
And your RAK is great!
Sorry about your finger. Hope it doesn't hinder your stitching!
Congrats on the test!
My gosh, you and I are a lot alike in the clutz department. I get bruises showing up all the time and I think, now what did I do to get that? I'm always smacking into something or dropping something on my highly sensitive toes.
What a nice RAK! How kind of her to think of you and send you that chart. :)
Congrats on your test score! You definitely knew the material, even if you didn't think that you did.
Oh no, Meari. You are not having a good time of it lately. Congratulations on your test score! Ugh...I hate talking to ISP people. Great RAK...I love PS!
