Well, I didn't get any sewing done this weekend, but used the machine a little on Thursday and I think using the correct oil finally helped. It seems okay. The true test is when I run it for a couple of hours tonight. Almost through with all the reusable shopping bags I am making for our class project. I will post pictures of the piles of them tonight.
PS...My mom came for a visit to see my daughter play volleyball. We had a good, but short, visit. Wish she lived closer!

Stop Me If You Have Heard This One
This is an old one but it really happened. In fact, I think it has happened more than once, but never to me.
My husband was on playground duty one day. The kids know not to come tattle all the time to him, but if something really bad happens they should let him know. So, one of the more well behaved children comes up to him and says "B said the F-word!" Suddenly, this child has my husband's full attention. This is a pretty big transgression for an elementary student. Before he set the punishment in motion, he wanted to be sure that this student had heard B clearly. After interviewing her for a minute or two he asked her to repeat the word.
"You won't be in trouble," he told her, "I just need to know exactly what B said."
"Well...." the little girl hesitated, "He said fart." After my husband stopped laughing he actually called B over and told him not to say fart again.
BTW: The S-word is shut up!

Ebay Kicked Me Off Today
We got up this morning and had an email from ebay saying they had removed my listing. I was trying ebay out, one last ditch effort to get it sold. It IS almost Spring you know. Anyway, apparently it is illegal to use the word "like" in the listing title. I really think they searched and found the etsy comment in the description and bumped me off because of that. What do you think? I should have never even bothered. Like I should have told them that like I was a teenager in the 80s and I like talk like that like all the time. Remember the Valley Girls. I always wanted to be a Zappa!
