After work I just wanted to go home, watch Ricky on Oprah and get some sewing done.  That's is not what happened.  I was watching Oprah and the screen on the TV went green and wavy.  I thought I would turn it off and turn it back on, but when I turned it off I heard a crack and then there was a nasty smell.  I unplugged the TV and it was toast.  My 1995 Zenith died.  I called my brother and told him I had no idea what to buy - TV have change a lot from 1995 and my Zenith was a tube TV.  He volunteered to go with me so we headed to Best Buy.  He told me what I needed, so I paid for it and he installed it.  Thank goodness he installed it!  I would have never figured it out!  So by the time I took him back home it was 9 p.m.  Lets just say no sewing happened.  There are no pictures because I forgot my camera at work.  
One good part is that by the time I get my credit card bill for the TV, I will have had three paychecks.  So I will redo my budget for the next three paychecks and paying for the new TV won't hurt too bad.  See there is still sunshine in crazytown!
Then this morning I get to work and found that I forgot my toast I had made for my breakfast.  I think I am losing my mind!  At least I have some other food so I won't go hungry until lunch.  So now I have lost one more day of working on my show for the library.  I am going to try again tonight to get something done if it is the last thing I do!
Atlanta Thread and Supply had a sale on thread so here is what I bought.  I needed to add to my stash especially some colors for clothing alterations.

We keep our TVs until they blow up too. I hate it when it happens when I really want to watch something. Why can't it blow up during the news?
Vicki,
You always make me laugh! Blow up during the news - too funny!
