almost packed

True to my word, I shoved most of my stuff in the suitcase this afternoon. We went out for crabcakes and martinis and when we got home I decided I simply had to finish two more scarves to take with me. So many sold on Sunday that I don't have more than a dozen left. I had dyed this pink one (really, more red than it looks in the picture) so I just added the printing, then dried, steamed, washed, dried, and ironed it. The blue one had been printed and just needed a few bits of graffiti added before the same process ensued. Here's a close up of the text on the red one. I need to do a few scarves with cryptic messages next time; I have quite a few of them from fortunes collected through the years. I straightened up the kitchen so the housekeeper won't bolt and run as soon as she gets here on Friday. Everything else is in chaos, but I don't care. Finally, I am charging my iPhone for the 40th time today. Grrrrrr....Bev warned me I would have to charge it every night, but every few hours???? Tonight, the alarm gets tested. I always worry that it won't go off when it's supposed to and end up waking 65 times a night to look at the clock. What's wrong with this picture? Terminal A, an itty bitty plane to Detroit, and getting up at the crack of dawn. I am still reading "Heat," about Mario Batali but also downloaded "The Help" onto Marty's Kindle, which I plan to take with me. Anon. Or as one of those cryptic messages says, "soon, and in pleasant company."
