This morning, I was in a hotel lobby carrying a large transistor radio and it kept blaring the voice of Sheri Lynch from the syndicated radio morning show Bob & Sheri . And people all around me kept telling me to turn it down as Bob and Sheri were actually there in a conference room broadcasting their radio morning show LIVE and I was interrupting their signal.
I was beside myself.
First of all, I didn't know how to turn it off ... there didn't seem to be a volume or power control anywhere on it ... and secondly, I didn't know why I was carrying such a large radio around with me in this day and age of ipods.
"Can you turn down that blasted radio!?!" The man shouted at me!
I quickly sat down on one of those large chairs in the lobby trying to muffle the noise with my sweater. A young girl runs over to help me find the volume switch. She can't find it either. Everyone is staring at me. "Shut off that radio!!!"
I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling of my bedroom. I rolled over and stared at my clock radio with Sheri Lynch still talking away and saw it was 8:10 am and Lisa was picking me up at 8:25 for another long day at work.
Nothing like waking up in a panic realizing I had overslept nearly an hour.
All my days are melting into one as we work around the clock for the upcoming International Quilt Market this weekend in Houston. As soon as I come up for air I have some stories to tell.

Hahaha! You have the most animated dreams! Definitely shows your toon girl side...for sure! Transister radios..wow, that brings back memories...I had a little grenn one with this little single plug that fit in my ear. It looked like an Ivory bullet! And the sound was like tin and static. And I had to walk around for good reception...Oh! Remember those boom boxes? How they used to put them up to their ears? The whole thing? It was like carrying around a microwave on your shoulder....
Kids have it so sweet today...
