Oh and I ran 5.1 miles on Monday, took me 60 minutes but I got it done!
And I amused the heck out of a sales rep in the UK. I ordered Nathan a Star Wars "Single Duvet Cover" as I couldn't find any in the USA with Clone Wars on them....
I was embarrassed when it arrived to note it was ONLY a cover and apparently I needed to buy a separate "duvet". In the picture it was fluffed up and full so I assumed I was getting a regular bedspread not just a shell...
I emailed the company asking if they also sold the duvets themselves....received a reply that they do indeed sell them and thanks for "entertaining those of us in the textile world today". Gee thanks for mocking me lady......I imagine she sent my email around to all her coworkers to laugh
Ha! Yeah a duvet in this country is the feather, or polycotton whatever 'innard'... then you buy a cotton duvet cover for it! You have to wrestle the duvet inside it and then do up the buttons, like a cushion cover. Dont they have those in America then? And if its all in one, how do you wash it !!?? I never understood that. Course with a cover, you can take it off and put it in the washing machine every week.
You sound really good Bobbi, really balanced. I dont know how you do it!
Duvet's are easy to find but covers are hard to find here unless you are willing to pay through the nose for them.
Washing is a bit of a chore and the 'innards' break down pretty fast. It's their way of getting you to buy a new one every 6 months or so. Ahhh.....consumerism in action.

Duvets! Oh, my! I remember fighting to get the covers on.... I never got that down. I always ended up inside the cover with the duvet all stuffed up at one end! It makes a lot of sense though. You can wash the cover, or even have several different ones, and only have to have one duvet.
Thanks T. The prayers are greatly needed and appreciated...
H sent me several emails today (and did on monday, too). Don't know what is up. None were anything special.
He asked me if I would mind if he went out with Tom on Saturday night. We already had planned on the calendar that he would spend some time Friday night and then Saturday afternoon with the kids. So why did he think he needed my permission?
I told him that was fine, and then I asked him if he was still coming on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I also asked what he had found out about the closing (was supposed to be Friday).
His reply?
No clue on closing yet and I need to know today.
I have to have a cashiers check and that will be real tricky if I do not get some money deposited in Glenwood State Bank to cover the 500-600 over the 20K I have from mom and dad
The account he referred to is an old, old acct. he opened back in high school, it has his and his dad's name on it. I don't know why but we never bothered to close it, it only has like $100 in it....
I found it strange it was like there was some big puzzle how to solve that problem...
I know I am not his problem solver but I did reply back, "I would imagine you could write a check out of our checking and deposit it in your Glenwood account".
Seriously, duh! The man is in sales and marketing for a living. I am sure he had figured that out...We are separating our checking out next month, I wanted to pay my tuition bill for my night class ($1100) first and he was hoping I would wait until after closing to take money out of the account so it didn't raise any red flags to the mortgage company.
But when we do separate we will each get half of what is in there so there was no reason for him to be worried about $500-600. Once I take my half out he can use all of his to buy blow up dolls and party hats for all I care....
The only sad moment I had was when my SIL texted me during my night class. She said "Someone is walking! WE witnessed several steps tonight, so look out world!" My niece turns one next week, and just imagining SIL and BIL laughing and watching their little daughter take her first steps for some reason, I wanted to bawl. B/C it is such a sweet, simple part of being a couple. I am going to miss being part of a 'team'...
OK I am going to bed....don't know what it is in particular but I am just really feeling down tonight. Hard to remember that Dan moving out could actually wind up bringing us closer.........
In the picture it was fluffed up and full so I assumed I was getting a regular bedspread not just a shell...
