Wet dog, Quilt Shows, RAIN

My assistant is 4 years old, and still a juvenile (as you can see).  Right now she's actually kinda smelly.  Wet dog smelly since it is pouring rain.  Again.

Yesterday I took advantage of the lovely warm weather and got some gardening done.  And since I'm so nice I fed the blackflies too, arrrgh!!!  note to self:  do not feed the insectum.

I am having a real hard time getting motivated these days.  I don't feel like working, I don't feel like sewing, I don't feel like getting up in the morning.  I sure hope this is just a phase.  Maybe my week in London for Quilt Ontario will be the break that I need?  Perhaps I'll come home inspired?  Will my longarm buddies whip my arse into shape?  Diane (Beach Day Diane) 'voluntold' a few of us last year that we were going to help her hang the quilts so I'm working on my biceps and triceps.  Pfft - yeah, right, har har har.  Bending the old elbow does not count, silly.

What I HAVE been doing is cleaning up crap that has piled up in the basement, in the office, and in my workroom (who knew there was a sewing table under all those fabric scraps?).  I have to throw out a broken printer, broken humidifier, and broken dehumidifier.  Why, oh why, do we keep this stuff?  I have to sell a perfect little fax machine (now that I have a new multi-function printer).  I have to take a full recycle box of empty beer/liquor/wine bottles back to the beer store.  And I have a full recycle box of cardboard for garbage day.  I have already dropped off a pile of stuff at the Goodwill, too.  Check out Flylady.net if you want to learn how to do a 27 fling boogie.  I hope Revenue Canada does not decide to audit Mom, 'cause I have now burned all her income tax papers from the 90's and up to 2003.  And I've been cooking... creatively.  And once in a while it gets sunny and warmish, so I've been weeding & clipping.  Tomorrow I am going to the Halton Quilt show at the Royal Botanical Gardens.  Yippee - a day out with the girls.  When I get home we'll have leftovers for supper, then perhaps I will do some sewing on the commission quilt I'm working on.  'Cause so far, Environment Canada is calling for more RAIN RAIN RAIN.
