Well, sort of anyway.  I had a fun 2 1/2 day mini-vacation with three best girlfriends.  We do this annually, and it’s always fun.  The four of us used to work together several years ago at a large company.  Now only one of us is still working there, but we’ve maintained our friendships with weekly Saturday breakfasts and annual girls’ getaways.  This year was our 10th year, I believe.  Well, I came back with a raging sinus condition, and that surely takes the wind out of your sails!  It makes it really nice to be back home.  I missed having access to a computer so, as sick as that sounds, it’s nice to be back with my computer as well.

Just a remember, if you haven’t already, check my give-away post of a few days ago.  I will be doing the drawing tomorrow (Monday) evening to somewhat allow for different time zones.  Last chance!  Even if you aren’t interested in entering the drawing, people are listing their favorite quilting/sewing “tool”, so it’s fun to read what comes to people’s minds.

Port Aransas was out of the hurricane’s path, but how very horrifying to have it zero in on a major metropolitan area.  SIL Grace and BIL Ronnie in Lake Jackson are okay, but of course have no power, and I’m sure streets and yards are a mess.  It’s so amazing to me that we can track a hurricane for days, approximate where it’s going to come ashore, and yet we’re helpless to do anything to stop it.  A reminder that we’re not as in control as we like to think we are.

Time to put on a pot of coffee.  I skipped dinner last night and went to bed early, so I was famished about 4:30 am.  (Not to mention, I could no longer breathe laying down.)  So I got up and had a delicious peanut butter & banana on toast, and can breathe a little better.  All I’m missing is a little caffeine.
