Who can resist a sale?

Just in time for my birthday. What a good husband I have, who gives me a gift certificate to Textile Fabric, and on a sale week. It was insanity incarnate, even on the third day of the sale, but oh what fun! Had to call and gloat to my sewing sister... who was thrilled for me because she is just a sweet person. And doesn't it take the fun out of gloating when someone responds with joy for you? Ah well. Anyhow, it brought our total phone calls (to and fro this birthday week so far) up to 26. And that's not counting gmail chats and webcam conversations. I tell you, it's the next best thing to being together. When I first moved away from her, Texas, and all of my family, we relied on stamped, mailed, hand-written letters. I know, it's unbelievable. But we were too broke for long distance, and cell phones of that era were high dollar and as big as a briefcase. For Emergency Use Only, Dad said. It stayed under the seat of my car. In it's giant bag.
Between Textile and Hancock's of Paducah, I'm developing an addiction I can neither afford nor store. But it's all on sale, and who can resist that?
Thanks, husband. Remember, your birthday's coming up.
