I redrew a Sure-fit Designs knit top pattern this afternoon. I will make it tomorrow. This one will be sleeveless with a rounded neckline. I am making it to go UNDER the dark blue jacket I made. I might do a little video since I'm in town where the internet is really fast.
I met Phylly for lunch today. Margaret has company from OOT so I haven't even told her I'm here yet. I'm HERE, Margaret!
Poor Phylly has been without air conditioning at her house since last Friday. I don't know how she has stood it. I have invited her to come stay with me, but she says she feels guilty leaving her family. The new AC is supposed to be put in tomorrow.
After lunch I went to J C Penney to return some earrings I purchased for some insane reason the day I was shopping with Jerry for a watch. It was marked down from $58 to $17, so I thought I was getting a good deal. When I got home and put the earring in my ears, I decided they weren't worth 5 cents!
AS ALWAYS at J C Penney, I had to go on a wide area search to find a clerk.
I finally tracked a lady down clear across the room that looked like she was shopping, but I thought I would take a chance that she might work there.
She did. She walked with me all the way back to the cash register at the jewelry counter.
Fortunately, I had remembered to grab the brand new J C Penny card out of my wallet when I got out of my car. We got it the day we bought Jerry's watch because you got an additional 20% off.
The clerk put the info in the computer and asked me to scan my card.
I pulled out the card to scan it and noticed that I had grabbed the Lowe's card -- NOT the JCP card!
I had to run all the way back out to my car to get the right card. Before I left, I asked the clerk if she would BE THERE when I returned. "Yes", she said.
I RAN to my car -- I grabbed the JCP card -- I RAN back into the store and over to the counter. Guess who was there????
NOBODY!
I had to go on ANOTHER wide area search to find the clerk again!
Finally, I got all of that accomplished. I decided it wouldn't hurt me to walk around the store for a bit and get some exercise. I walk very fast even when I don't need to. J C Penney does carry my favorite Lee Classic Fit jeans, so I walked over to the opposite faraway corner where I knew they would be. I assumed they wouldn't have my size because they hardly ever do, but SURPRISE, SURPRISE -- they had about 10 pair in my size! I was SO EXCITED! PLUS, they were on sale. I picked out 6 pair and went to buy them.
When I got to the counter to buy the jeans, I asked the clerk if there was a discount if I used my JCP card. She said that there was a coupon on the internet I could use. I asked her if I could bring it up on my Iphone. "Yes", she said. Only problem was, my Iphone was in the car.
SOOOOOOOOOOO, out I RAN again to my car.
I got my phone and took it back into the store. That saved me $40 and hopefully, burned off a few calories at the same time.
It is almost Jackie's bedtime. I need to get her in -- check her paws -- shnuggy her face and tell her how pretty she is -- and put her to bed.
Hope all of you are having a wonderful week!
Hugs, Joy
Our JCP has plenty of workers, but they chopped the store up and turned it into a maze. I can never figure out how to get back to where I entered. It is worse than Ikea for getting lost inside!
