Not So Idle Thoughts Ten

Ten Things on the Internet that I Thought about Today

Amazon's Overall Bestseller List: Why do I check this when it never has anything listed that I'm even marginally tempted to read?

Everything About that Pesky Impeachment: Skip that. Skip that, too. Skip everything. Skip to my Lou my darling (sorry, I hate politics.)

Harry and Megan Ditch the Royal Family Gig: Good. Paparazzi basically murdered his mother, and have been harassing his wife since they were dating. I hope they stay in Canada with the baby.

Kardashian Chick Posts Mostly Nude Selfie Pics on the Internet: Yawn. It must be Friday.

Moderating PBW Comments, Still: After a year and a half I thought the scammers would get tired of trying to leave comments pushing their crap on the old blog, but nope. Still have to delete a good half-dozen every day.

Quilting Show and Tell Online: I kind of stumbled over this Show and Tell web site where makers post images and stories about their work. It's evidently run by the people at Missouri Star Quilt Co. (Jenny Doan's company) and has 900+ pages worth to look through, so I'll probably go back and admire in my spare time.

RWA Cancelling the RITAs Due to Membership Bailing: There are people who actually still care about the RITAs, which were always fixed anyway?

Starting a War with Iran: Well, it won't make that pesky impeachment go away. It will kill a lot of people on both sides, and solve nothing. Stop killing and start talking to each other.

This Pic at Pixabay: Gorgeous. Must save for The Inheritance!

and finally:

What I Listen To After Reading All This Stuff on the Internet: Today, this. This composer is my wind-down go-to guy. Nothing earth-shaking, but all of his stuff is very calming.

What did you find on the internet to think about today? Let me know in comments.

I'm not listening to the news anymore or reading about it, other than local. I have had enough of the "news" which has become primarily opinions only, to last a lifetime so not that. What I did do on the internet was order the floor for our bedroom so our first floor will be finished. Yay! I read my comics page on gocomics.com because I absolutely adore Breaking Cat News and Red and Rover. I watched Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House because it's still a great movie. Other than that, I kept an eye on the weather since we're under a severe ice storm warning, and cleaned what I could in short bursts in case the power went out, which it probably will during the night tonight because that's when it's supposed to be the worst.

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Store Closing Haul

The mega Books-A-Million store over in Sanford is closing, and offered an extra 20% off on their current stock -- all sales final -- so I went over to do some shopping. Safely but sadly there was no one in the store but me the entire time I was there. The Holly Jackson novel is for Katherine, the Halloween board book is for Oliver, and the copy of Garden Spells is to keep on hand because I give that book to everyone. The rest of the books are for me. I love Anne Cleeves, and the Galbraith novel sounded interesting (the first couple weren't, but I'm willing to take another chance.) The Escape Room is by a new-to-me author, plus it was cheap. The GreenCraft mag is just a guilty pleasure. Hopefully the smaller BAM nearer to me won't close. I don't buy many books from brick-and-mortar stores these days, but that's really the last one within reasonable driving distance.
