Slack Tea Thursday

Here's this weeks STT story .  I know you all like a good story  to go along with whatever monstrosity I manage to churn out  for Slack Tea Thursday and if I just posted pictures without a tale there would be complaints. Or I'd be un-followed. Or get hate mail. OK, I'm taking poetic licence because you're all too classy to send hate mail. Except for someone named "anonymous" who keeps harassing me with comments about shoes, and chinese electronics and other odd things I can't mention on a blog that doesn't come with an adult content warning.

After work tonight  I had to go and get some batting for several quilty projects that are at the "I need batting stage", a canvas (more about that project over the weekend unless it goes horribly pear shaped and then you'll get a ranting type post  -the last time I used canvas and project in the same sentence, it cost me about 150 bucks and  it was an utter disaster ) and I went and got some scrap booking paper and spray glue  for another future project because since I was at Lincraft I figured I might as well. Before you ask-  No I am not decamping from the Quilting World  to try my hand at scrap booking. That's way too intricate for me, unlike my friend Nerida who reads my blog and makes very pretty cards from scrap booking stuff. (Waving at Nerida)  Far easier to hide your mistakes in a large quilt project thankyouverymuch. But let me just say I came home with twice as much scrap booking paper as I actually needed because it was so darn cute. See?

To top it all off I completely forgot about Father's Day which is this weekend which wouldn't be a problem if my Dad lived 5 minutes up the road but he doesn't and I rely on Australia Post to  get my tokens of love  to him on time - and I can hear all the Australian's laughing their arses off at this point because AP is so unreliable that I can get something sent from the US faster than I can receive something from the next suburb sometimes.  (I hope my dad doesn't read this - I know my Mum will but she can be trusted to keep her mouth shut and will admonish me privately and quietly, both for saying arse in a blog post and for forgetting I had a father who needed a gift until today,so I could show him how much I really do love him with a Visa Gift Card. Yes I am offically the world's worst daughter ) Anyway - said gift sorted and a 9 hour work day under my belt, and batting and canvas and scrap booking paper and glue  shopping sorted I turned what little attention I had left  to Slack Tea Thursday.

Crickets- I had nothing. I didn't even know what my own name was. And then light dawned.  I had something so perfect and quick and slack at home.

Good old Aussie chocolate and a mocha shot.

Who doesn't love a chocolate bar , or two , alright three for dinner?   And right now you're all wishing you were me and could have had chocolate for dinner but you had to be responsible adults and eat vegetables. Pftttttttttt.  Except for those of you that are reading this over breakfast and I hope you had Vegemite toast because Granola is blerk, even if it is healthy for you.

For those of you who asked for a reminder...don't forget Favourite Things Friday tomorrow, which might be the day after tomorrow for some of you, and is almost today for me , so that gives you plenty of time to come up with a favourite thing. It's so cool that my time zone is in the future.

P.S. I'm well aware I sound crazy ...it's Spring Fever you know. And if you think I'm crazy  now wait until the chocolate and mocha shot really kick in. I'll be prank emailing you all around 3 am my time because there's no way I'll be able to sleep...
