Updates and a little gender discrimination

I laugh that I even post this, but I thought it was amusing. We have this chair that's looking kind of rough. Padding is worn in, cover is worn down. I decide that I'm going to recover the chair this week, so I stopped at JoAnn Fabrics to get materials. In the course of finding a good bolt of fabric, replacement chair padding, getting a couple yards cut, and checking out, I got called "sweetie" twice, "hon" once, and the register lady first asked me if she could check me out while I was waiting for the "woman I was with", and then once I convinced her I was on my own, and she rang me up, she explained to me that the receipt I had gotten could be used as a 10% coupon next time... but that I could give it to someone else. (Clearly, being male, I never shop at JoAnn Fabrics and would have no possible use for a 10% off coupon.)

I have to laugh. When I came home, Tiff said: "Yeah, so what? That's what it's like for me when I go to the hardware store, except I know more about tools than you do about sewing."

So true.

On another note, it looks like Tim Hortons is almost done on Peach Street....

When we were checking out the 26th Street Tim Hortons over the weekend, we decided to eat at the Chinese buffet restaurant whose parking lot we keep using to take pictures. Not half bad for $4.95 a person. It is not as good as the best chinese restaurant in Erie... The Golden Wok on 32nd and Pittsburgh... but it is a lot less expensive. Perhaps we will get some coffee to go and walk next door for some Sweet & Sour Chicken and Wonton Soup.

Finally - the pictures from my tubing misadventures are finally up.
