I have been enjoying my saturday. Cooking has begun to peak my interest once again. Today I made a spinach dip. I thought I would eat some of it but I believe I wanted to prepare it more than eat it. But it will keep for a few days and I can nibble on some crackers with the dip now and then.

I brought out the afghan I started at the beginning of the year and crocheted some more rows on it. I have felt the need to be creative and that is a good thing. One of the ladies I work with brought a crocheted tote to work that she had made. She had worked spangles in each row and I was ready to rush to walmart and buy some yarn and spangles. But I decided I had to at least finish the afghan before I started another project. I have a room full of unfinished projects of all kinds. I like Quiltybird's way of calling them UFO's.

A few years ago, possibly four years ago, I was into sewing purses. I bought up a lot of fabric and trims to make purses as gifts for my sisters. In the middle of making them I lost interest. That was about the time, I started feeling like a stranger was taking over my body. I don't even enter the room where my stuff is stored. I removed my sewing machine and put it into another bedroom so I could use it to do repair work on our clothes.

Last weekend I cut off some of my denims to make me some capri's. I get too hot in long pants; I need as much skin exposed to air as I can modestly get away with. My skin stays very hot all the time, I have taken to wearing shorts to preserve my sanity. I do not wear shorts in public, just at home.

I finally called the telephone company and ordered their dial up internet. I tried for a whole week and could not get online with the free one. I definitely missed being able to go online whenever I felt the urge. I always put books on hold at my library via the internet and I was beginning to feel disoriented. Reading is number one in the things I do and I love researching authors and books and then checking to see if my library has them. The internet is very addictive, I was going through withdrawals.
