In Friday’s post I promised to have a video today for making the featured Easter basket (see it here). I started working this morning and it became apparent that my internet was not. Doing everything I know of to make sure the problem is not on my end consists of rebooting my computer and pressing the tiny “reset” button on the router with a paper clip. When both those things failed I called our internet service provider. An hour on hold listening to a recorded message telling me about the high call volume and suggesting I log onto the internet to report that I don’t have internet, it was verified that there was an outage in our area.
Not being able to proceed as planned I did what anyone would do and called a girlfriend to meet for lunch and she invited me over! After a delicious salad and a couple hours solving the world’s problems with her I left to drop some stuff off at Goodwill. On the way to Goodwill I pass Kirkland’s and well, you know, they get a fresh shipment in every Monday. It snowballed from there and stops were also made at Hobby Lobby and Pier One.
Long story short, I didn’t find anything I was ready to make a financial commitment over so I came home empty handed. Probably a good thing because a lot of that stuff I dropped at Goodwill started out at Kirkland’s, Hobby Lobby or Pier One!
I will try to post the Easter basket video tomorrow. No promises though because, you know, the internet. In the meantime enjoy a photo of my salad making friend Carol’s basket. She surrounded it with some of her Easter bunnies. Isn’t it sweet?
