I went to the Denver Craft & Sewing Festival at the Denver Merchandise Mart last night. They always have discount coupons for this thing every year at all the craft and fabric stores around town. I've been meaning to go for the last three years, but I always manage to forget. I must say I wasn't impressed. The flyer said see the latest supplies, patterns, tools, etc. Well, there must not be anything new out, because I've seen pretty much everything before. What I was really looking for was gift-type items for crafters. You know, shirts, mugs, figurines, etc. This one place did have some shirts, but they were waaaaaay ugly. Another shop had some cool embroidered ones, but only mediums. From what I saw there (I think a lot of overweight women, including me, craft), they were either unprepared or the large sizes were snapped up first. *sigh* I did watch a scroll saw demonstration (I really need to learn to use mine) and looked at the Brother Embroidery machine that I want. Oh, to be really well off....

A gal at work sent me an email last night that made me giggle. It kind of sums of the whole way I've been all week:

Changing A Light Bulb (PMS Version)

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb?

A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else
in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that
the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before
they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to
find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD
for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually
find them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the
STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT
WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE
EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED
FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!
IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE!


I'm sorry.... What was the question?
