Am I...

spoiled, or what?

DF and I decided to try grocery delivery from the neighborhood Safeway. So we went through and placed an order last night, after midnight. Just had it delivered, and the delivery man was very nice and explained how everything works, the receipt/order page, etc. I will definitely use them again!

We're also planning to set up twice monthly service with Molly Maid, or one of her competitors, since DF really hates doing housework like vacuuming, scouring the tubs, etc, and it just wears me down so much that I hate doing it too.

So.... lovely stitching corner, the near-perfect apartment, quick mart and 5 places to eat just downstairs, light rail just a short hop away, delivered groceries, maid service... that should leave me tons of time to stitch, right? :)



If the progress I'm making on Dragon Dreams' "Blackwork Dragon" is any measure of it, then yes. :) Almost tempted to stick with this one till it's done, and have two HDs in July. We'll see!

Side note: my monitor is developing a small spot (about half dollar size) near the system tray that is green tinted. I hope this doesn't mean that it's going to die on me, I've only had it maybe four years. :\

First HD of the year!

Yes! I finished a cross stitch piece this year! :)

We drove down to L.A. for the weekend to hang out with friends, which is why I've been so quiet. Was nice to see everyone, and one of our friends had a pool party and barbecue for the 4th, so we had some good eats and the pool felt great. We actually stayed with another friend, so we went back to her apartment, and were able to watch fireworks from her patio, that they set off at a park about half a mile away. It was a great view!

It's good to be home, though. I missed my furbabies, and they had eaten their way through all the dry food we left them, so they were glad to see us too, I'm sure. Far as I can tell, they were very good and didn't make any messes. Or I just haven't found them yet.
