Rockstar Quilter

Today I made one of my best Craigslist finds. Its a PVC pipe quilting frame. I have strolled down the quilting aisle at JoAnns many times pausing to lust after these. But they are $100 and not ever on sale and you cant use a coupon. But I found one today on Craigslist for only $40. I made Alex call cause I am not confidant enough to low ball people. He offered $30 and she said no. We hung up defeated. Not 30 seconds later she called back and accepted the offer. I jumped in my vehicle (purchased for this very thing) and headed to Sandy. It was a nice house, belonging to someone who obviously wasn't going to miss the $10 we scammed her out of. She brought the box down and I got so excited. It was about to be mine. I said, " I am so stoked. I have wanted one of these for so long!" and she just looked at me like I was a freakin retard, "Really?" she asked in disbelief.

As I was making the 7 point turn to get my car turned around I was a little hurt. I wanted to roll down the window and scream "you don't have to be 50 to quilt!" or "I have cool hobbies too!" or maybe just "die! die! die!"

I stopped on the way home and got my toes done. They are sparkle blue. I am a rockstar quilter.
