Drive By

As you may have guessed — with assembly-line sewing on the table waiting on the sewing table, not a stitch has been sewn since Monday. I did make good progress on the panty project but since then, nada. I've been going into the office early this week as we're under a big deadline so work has been wiping me out. Plus I seem to have stumbled onto a new, temporary addiction.

Tyler mentioned he'd been catching up on previous seasons of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix and I discovered that I can stream all the episodes for free on my Kindle with Amazon Prime. And that's just what I've been doing in the evenings instead of sewing. I may have also watched an episode or two during my lunch breaks. Ahem. ;-)

The good news for the day is that a very attractive man about my age (who knows? the older I get, the worse I am at guessing ages) got onto the parking garage elevator with me today. He stepped in after me and then quickly turned toward front as we all tend to do on elevators. But then, he turned back around, looked me square in the eyes, and said, "That's a gorgeous outfit you're wearing today." I nearly died. Of happiness. ;-) Today's the day I wore my new twisty top, Magic Pencil Skirt, and goldy-greenish cardigan. I guess it's a hit. Oh, and I also wore a smile all day long. Thank you Mr. Stranger.

  23. Debbie,

    Perfect words from a stranger! And it doesn't hurt that you are an amazingly beautiful woman. Your weight loss has magnified that fact.
