Remember when I posted about fighting off a spending spree?
I really have to watch what I say.
My Prince likes me to have what I want.
And he likes to buy gifts.
I got a package in the mail last Friday and this was inside:
I know it looks like nine rolls of Japanese washi paper masking tape.
But it feels like love.

Speaking of love...
All the shoots came home for Father's Day last Sunday.
It took me 31 years to figure it out, but I now know the four steps to a very relaxing family gathering.
1. Order the main course and let shoot #1 pick it up.
2. Let shoots #5 and #6 make the side dishes and set the table.
3. Show up with the rest of the shoots and enjoy it all.
4. Don't drink anything.
The shoots like to have fun, and some of them are gifted comedians.
We were playing a game of Phase 10 Sunday evening, and the Creative Genius cracked a funny just when I'd taken a nice big drink of coffee.
I won't go into graphic detail about the spewing, choking, and coughing that ensued, but Prince Charming said, "Oh, honey. Did you get a coffee nasal rinse?"
When I said, "Yes, I sure did", the comedian quickly replied...
"Oh, no. Your nose is going to be up all night."

Miss Mary Mack and I browsed through a couple of thrift stores on Monday.
She looks for completely different items than I do, so I was touched when she said she'd found something she thought I'd really like.
At the time, I was busy drooling over some metal card files.
Maybe it's the family background in office supplies, but I feel nostalgic when I look at them, and I think, since paper record-keeping is becoming obsolete, these items might be things of the past already.
I love paper and I tried hard to think of some reason I needed these file drawers, but I tore myself away and followed Mary.
She took me to a different area of the store to see the items she thought I'd love.
Two more of the exact same card files.
I didn't buy any of them.
Who needs cool metal file drawers when they've got nice little shoots like that?
