Stuck. Or, Rather, Coming Unglued

Okay, so you know those record album purses that I've been making? Well, part of the process takes glue. Quite a bit of glue. Wood glue. Somewhat expensive when bought in small quantities. Well, we just can't have that. I've shopped around and found the best price for other components used in record-album-purse-making: rivets, handles, fabric. So, let's go glue shopping online.

Oh, there's a great deal, a one-gallon 2-pack. Ordered. A package arrives - in about 12 days. "Well, you took your sweet time, didn't you. Let's see what we have". Huge box, only ONE gallon of glue. Uh, did I order right? Yep, invoice says gallon 2-pack. So I call. They say, sorry, you can either wait up to 7 days for UPS to and pick it up OR you can bring it back to a local store. Grumble,grumble, grr. "Oh, honey, would you please...." So Bubba took the package back to ALBANY, they credited it back to us, and placed the order again.

So yesterday, package arrives, I tear into it, and guess what. Same thing! Awk! What the heck? Call the store, get same song and dance. Okay, turkeys, we'll bring back the dadgummed package to the consarned local store AGAIN! Bubba just called, found a lumber store locally that carrys the very thing at the same (or maybe just a bit better?) price, and it's right there. On.The.Shelf! Huzzah!

While I realize this isn't a very exciting post, believe me, it rather caused some excitement here. And at least it keep my mind sidetracked a bit while we wait for Jon and Brandy's new baby to arrive. Baby's due October 31 (Yay, Halloween!) but she's had lots of signs that baby may be early. I gotta go sew something. 'cause that's what Grandmas do. Grandpas, on the other hand, get stuck with honeydo lists. Gotta go update that, too. Had him cutting out some wood last night for...nope, can't say, it's for Christmas presents! Four little granddaughters to sew for (maybe five - don't know what J&B are having). Fun.

Now, where did Bubba hide that list......
