Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1991 (Part 3)
Here are some odds & ends that I've kept a list so I wouldn't forget:
Guy was told that his being on the ASF would exempt him from going to a ship if they send the men in his stop to one. I sure hope so. But the ship they said they'd go to just left last week.
The date I first wore a maternity dress to church was Sun., Dec. 23.
We finally got the right dough hooks for my new mixer. Guy went to the appliance store that the Sears lady told us about. They'd said on the phone that we'd have to buy new ones (or a new one, because you could buy them seperately) since we didn't buy the mixer there. But when he got there, they said he could just exchange them. I'd had him take both so he'd be sure to get the right one. I tried making a loaf of wheat bread. It came out ok but it was a little dense. I think I may have overkneaded it.
I just caught Chief chewing on my shoestrings. It's the 3rd or 4th time he's done it but I've never caught him in the act before. I just got some new shoestrings the other day--thank goodness I haven't put them in yet. You'd think he'd be satisfied with all the toys he's got. Oh, we got him a booda bone for xmas, it's made out of rope. He just loved it but it didn't last a month before it was in shreds.
I assisted Dianna Landon in teaching the 1st & 2nd grade at VBS in August.
The Singles haven't put out an issue of Young Light since November. Mary says she doesn't have enough help.
They now have sodas available at the commissary. You used to have to go to the liquor store to buy them.
Last summer Arbitron called and then sent us the booklets to keep track of what we watched on TV. It was fun at first but by the end of the week it had gotten to be a nuisance having to write down every time you turned the TV off & on & switched channels. We did it both upstairs & downstairs.

"we've got to make room for the baby somehow"
Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1991 (Part 2)
Sat. Guy took me over to the Forsythe's for Gina Ibarra's shower. I'd done a cross-stitch piece for her but didn't have time to get it made into a pillow. I at least fixed up the front so everyone would have an idea what it would look like. It was supposed to start at 10:30 but they didn't start eating til 11:00. Guy said he'd pick me up a little before noon. I kept watching for him after 11:30 and saw him about 11:45. I signaled to him I'd be 5 minutes. Then I went & explained to Gina that I needed to leave and could she go ahead & open my present so I could take her picture. She was almost done eating so I didn't feel I was rushing her too much. She really like it though & started showing it to everyone. I got it back at church Sun. so I can finish it into a pillow this week. I need to get some new thread for it though -- I was making do with what I had. Piece Goods is having a sale this week so I need to go there anyway. When I went to get the pillow fabric they gave me a coupon book. I also got a maternity pattern. It has a jumpsuit, pants, and a pullover and a blouse. I'll get fabric for that at the sale. Then next week Quilt Works is having a fabric sale. I want to get more of the fabrics I used int he quilt to make things for the nursery. I don't think I mentioned that yet. I took a quilting class--finally. It was the hand-quilting sampler class. Four Friday mornings for $50. We didn't finish it in class but are supposed to know all we need to to get it done. It's just the right size for a crib quilt. There are four different blocks--Dresden Plate, Drunkards Path, 9-Patch, and 8-pt. Star. I've got a pink and cream stripe, a white on pink calico, pink & lavendar on off-white calico, a solid pink, & muslin. I haven't worked on it since class cause I've been sick but I need to get going on it to get it done in time. And we need to get to work on the front bedroom. If this is really going to happen we've got to make room for the baby somehow. I need some boxes to start packing up my craft stuff. And I need to start sewing--on stuff for the nursery, clothes for me, & especially the dress for Gina & Rob's wedding.
