Cough Cough Cough Cough

Cough Cough Hack Hack. That would be the loop from this weekend. I think I'm on the turn around, but there is only so much cough syrup I can take and still function. I need one of those little biohazard shirts to wear as a warning for people. I try to be good and hold my coughs in or cough away from people. I hope I didn't give my cough back to Sunshine because he just got over a similar thing. I think I'm starting to feel better but right now it is hard to really tell.

So Sunshine decided to spontaneoulsy come down to visit Friday evening. YAY! We had a lot of fun. He fixed our dryer vent that was blowing down into the wall (scary!!!) so now our clothes dry a lot better. The best part is that he installed the new replacement lock on my hope chest. It was my mom's old hope chest and I primarily use it as a window seat and storage for my journals, bad poetry and ex boyfriend momentos. Anyways, during the break-in, the lock was broken and the lovely people at Lane sent me a nice replacement lock. I think my mom will be relieved now that the hope chest was fixed.

We did a little shopping on Saturday in town. I know I'm sick when I don't feel like power shopping so we just stayed in town. Sunshine is working on his genealogy right now and he got a giant sack of clippings from a relative so we spent most of the Saturday afternoon sorting out the obituaries from the bible verse clippings and Dear Abby articles. I think we found several gems in the bag and he bought a couple of nice looking storage boxes to keep them in. Then we went to Garfields and Sunshine got to have his mudslide finally (they blend theirs which I think makes it taste better). Then we went to American Eagle and Sunshine bought a new pea coat and two shirts which were all on clearance. The pea coat was under $40 which is insane and it matches his favorite shoes better.

Sadly, Sunshine had to leave early this morning so that he could make it home for his Mom's birthday party. My sister won't admit to it but she had fun too. She even made scrambled eggs for Sunshine yesterday morning and she never does that. Ooh--I almost forgot, Sunshine and I split a black bottom cupcake at Starbucks yesterday. Basically it is a chocolate cupcake with cream cheese filling in the center and it is soooo good and one of the few things this weekend that I could actually taste.

I did get a tiny bit of crafting done this weekend. I stitched up the sides of the bag I am making for the Going Green Swap. I need to cut up a few more bags so that I have enough plarn for the handles. I think I might have agreed to make one for Sunshine too but I have to get bags from him first because I seriously have like two bags left. the only reason why I might have enough to finish the handles is because I have the bags from our shopping this weekend. If I have any left over, then I will put it towards the one for Sunshine. The nice thing about plarn bags is that they are pretty sturdy and it's a good recycling project and they look cool. The key to making plarn is having a good pair of sharp scissors. It will speed up the process and your pieces will be more even for the plarn. I will post pics when it's finished and my partner receives it because I don't want to spoil the surprise.
