In My Defense . . .

 Believe me, I do need a defense!  :) Debbie and I get together on Wednesdays and stitch. Some weeks, it seems like 20 days between the two Wednesdays. Some days, it seems like yesterday! The "yesterday" weeks are usually when I've had a super busy week. This past week was super busy and a bit more stressful than most of our weeks.

Do the above tablets look anything alike? Right . . they do not! I bought the left (green) one specifically for using on Wednesday stitching days. It stays in my stitching bag, along with whatever project I'm working on, floss, scissors, etc. I never take it out of the bag unless I need to add a new project. This past week, there was no reason to have taken it out.

This morning I got ready to go. The green tablet wasn't in the bag. I was able to use "find my phone" on the internet and it rang . . upstairs. Why?  No idea. I grabbed it, checked the battery and put it on the charger for about an hour.

Before I left, I grabbed what I thought was the green tablet, stuck it in the stitching bag and off I went. You know where this is going, right?

Debbie and I had a LOT to talk about this morning. We get to the restaurant where we meet, talk a few minutes, get breakfast, talk and stitch til lunch time. We eat lunch and keep stitching. We're there for about 8 hours!

This morning we talked and laughed so much that by the time we said "let's get breakfast", it was too late. They were no longer serving breakfast!  :) How did we not realize how long we were talking?

Anyway, I pulled out my tablet. Oh, no! The purple tablet! It has Mark Up on it but no charts! I had brought the 4th of July Rules project and tried to stitch using the paper chart. Nope. Brain can no longer do that. I had made maybe 7 stitches in 45 minutes. Then I remembered that I had made the PDF with my phone so surely I could find it there. Yes, imported it and finally got to start stitching.

I started on the white house on and got a little bit done on it. I managed to get 306 stitches done. I'm going to stitch some on Sweater Weather til I go to bed and I should be able to hit my goal for the day - 400 stitches.
