Reasons Why I'm Not Blogging Tonight

1. I LOST MY PURSE. I had it on Saturday because Lani and Krissie and I went to the new JoAnn's and spent a fortune, and then Lani borrowed the car on Monday to take Krissie to the mall because her car is gurgling, so I had it inside the house then, and now . . . nothing. It's not in the car because I checked, and I have searched everywhere on the first and second floors (I didn't take it up to the third floor, haven't been up there in weeks) and it's gone. I will be searching until I find it because the damn thing has my life in it. My wallet, my phone (now dead, of course), my latest crochet project, Lyle's vet records, enough Kleenex to get me through any allergen that comes at me, my extra gloves, and the pretty shoes that hurt my feet if I wear them too long but I didn't want to leave them in the car. This is not a small bag, but it has evaporated. ARGH!

2. Tomorrow is Sweetness's birthday. I intended to do the last of the shopping today but MY PURSE IS LOST so I'm going to have to think fast here. Also I have to make her a Wiccan dollhouse. I got the kit and it has 46 million pieces. Thank god I did not put the instructions in my purse. WHICH IS LOST.

3. Lyle refused to eat the special kidney food (and I can't say that I blame him) so I went to the canine kidney group on Yahoo and got a recipe and he loves it. But I have to cook it. Well, I have to make rice and then mix in hamburger and squash and pumpkin and green beans and egg white and then nuke the whole thing, which takes awhile but it holds him for three days except that we ran out tonight and I didn't have the stuff to make it BECAUSE I LOST MY PURSE, so Lani ran out and got the ingredients and I cooked and Lyle ate.

4. The mess on the third floor has reached critical mass so I have to clean. Fingers crossed that as I clean I FIND MY LOST PURSE.

5. I have to read Twyla Tharp's book on creativity because we were supposed to discuss it two weeks ago so I'm a slime there, and The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehard because that's the Gothic Book Club that starts on the first. I think I'm going to treat myself with that because I remember liking it a lot and I can get it free on the net because it's out of copyright. It's also free on the iPad so I'm sure it's free for Kindle, too. Maybe that will take my mind off my LOST PURSE.

6. If I'm a good person, I'll figure out how to make Sweetness's cake from scratch tomorrow while they're all out whooping it up. I'm staying home to finish the dollhouse and FIND MY PURSE, so I'll have some time while they go look at RVs (Sweetness and Light think the RV sales place is Disneyland) and go to Friendly's and then see a movie. I will be up to my butt in glue gun and tiny pieces of wood by then. In fact, I may wimp out and give her an IOU because I can't get to a store and get silver stars because I LOST MY PURSE.

So anyway, I can't blog tonight. Sorry.

If you see my purse, let me know.
