Today has been one of those days where there just isn’t much of anything to post. I drove to Little Rock this morning for short little visit to my specialist – I have no problems going on but because of medication that I take I have to be checked out every 3 to 6 months. My daughter was working today so I couldn’t visit with her so I went around to a few shops after the doctor visit was over – which went so fast this time and even the lab was not backed up and got in and out so fast it was amazing.
I just wasn’t in a shopping mood – most likely because as I mentioned I want to control my spending so I can let loose in mid April when I go to the quilt show 
I stopped in Hobby Lobby for a little bit to see if the bigger store had different items than our smaller store does here – it does found lots of things that were nice but I didn’t really need and no place to put them if I had bought them! From there I went to McAlister’s Deli for some lunch. I had not been there before and I loved it. I will have to stop there again another time. Wonderful sandwich – pastrami on rye with spicy mustard! Tasted wonderful. From there I went to a store called Garden Ridge. There are not a lot of these around, it is fairly new to Arkansas and the Little Rock store is the only one in the state. They have tons of inexpensive dishes, pots for plants, lawn cushions, some bedding and towels, a little bit of everything. At that store I did buy a new umbrella for the patio table seeing as they had so many to choose from. The one I had doesn’t tilt and I wanted one like that to block the late afternoon sun when it gets to be summer. They had some that tilted and in all kinds of colors and not very expensive – that was the only thing I bought all though there was tons of stuff I would have liked to have gotten – I was good and passed on all of them.
From there was just one more stop before home and that was Sam’s Club (like Costco) -a big warehouse box store. I like to stock up on the big bundles of things that we go through a lot, like popcorn, granola bars, laundry soap, and some food – like big packages of meat to put in the freezer.
And that was my day. I got home by mid afternoon and got started on the laundry and worked on my small quilt some. I am coming along really well on that small quilt. I am almost to the final border and I will get to that maybe tomorrow evening. Oh I did pick up a couple more of the cardboard decorative boxes (cheap) at Hobby Lobby that I use for my scraps but these are for various odds and ends in the sewing room. I cleaned out the two drawers in my cutting table this evening and have those boxes label so I know what various junk is in them and now my two drawers are nice and neat. I have one box left to put some of the scraps in seeing as I haven’t been able to close a couple of the boxes after the last time I rummaged through them. That can wait for tomorrow.
Would you believe we might get snow on Friday! spring where are you!! I thought that if I picked up the umbrella for the patio table maybe it would encourage spring to come along faster don’t know if that will work!
