Things on my plate

I've been up to a lot. I got a weird bug in me Sunday and started cleaning out my closet (gasp)! And when I say I cleaned out my closet I really mean that I took four entire hours and devoted myself to getting rid of over half of my clothes and shoes, bagging it all up, and hanging everything else back up nicely. Whew. It feels good to be purged of all of that stuff!

Of course, like a good girl, I did some walking on the treadmill, too. My good friend, the pesky robin, came to visit me at the window while I was on the treadmill, and tap-tap-tapped his little beak at the window for me, to give me some good walking rhythms I'm sure. Seriously, that bird...

While on the treadmill, I noticed another couple of interesting Gilmore Girls things that don't add up. In one conversation Richard and Emily Gilmore both refer to Richard's mother as in the past, using the word "was" to describe her as if she has already passed away. Am I remembering correctly that she does in fact appear in some episodes in later seasons, coming over for visits from London? And Kirk makes yet another "non-Kirk" appearance as a delivery guy bringing the swans to the Independence Inn for a wedding.
We also got a LOT of rain recently. Stormy nights mean one thing for certain in this household -- it will be a "five-dog-night". Aren't they just a little bit cute?

And I finally got the courage up to add the first set of borders to my Spring Fling Round Robin quilt square, mailed to me by Kari Day in Texas. It ended up being a lot more traditional and "safe" than I had originally dreamed up, but I thought her quilt square was bright enough and detailed enough on it's own and surely didn't need super-busy borders to be piled up on top of it. Off it goes to it's next partner tomorrow...

Congrats on the cleaning... I cleaned out my closet too and lugged a big bag up to church Sunday night... of course my closet is a lot smaller than yours so it didn't take 4 hours! Yes, Richard's mother indeed shows up in some future episodes. She also dies and Emily has to help with the funeral... which goes awry and then Lorelai has to do it...

Are they little whippets on your bed or italian greyhounds? They all have that 'stunned look' of "what? I'm allowed on the bed, aren't I" - very cute!

Yep, they are Italian greyhounds, and I am afraid they are on our bed every night, looking like that...:)
