Christmas projects are dumb.

So, today at work the talk about the gift exchange thing took off. Whatever. That's fine and peachy keen. But somewhere along the way, one of the threads of conversation took a sharp left turn and one co-worker, who shall remain nameless, mentioned that blankets are nice. This does, in fact, make more sense in context, but that's not really relevant.

So anyway, said co-worker is also a maaaajor Steeler's fan. Whatever. I live here, but I don't have to care. But it did spark discussion amongst other co-workers about gifts. I simply turned around and asked the nearest Steeler-fan of the two if they make blanket sized Terrible Towels. I mean, I can't be the only person to think up such a tacky thing. And a decent fleece blanket, split 3 ways, should make a nice gift.

Now, here comes the dumb part. I was thinkin' on my way home. Mostly, it was about how it'd be cute if there was a blanket of terrible towels - not a single uber-large one, but a patchwork blanket of actual towels.

Cute. Yes, you heard me right.

...........

Thank goodness, I had some stops on my way home, and as a point of reference I checked at the local drug store, and the things are about $8 each. Not very do-able financially.

It's just.... It'd be cute! I know how to sew it and everything! And we have this hand sewing machine as Seen On TV and everything, and it'd need a cotton filler and a back of some sort, but that's easy if you have a handy fabric store and there's one right across from my doc's office -

and thankfully, this is the point where I remember I have no time, little energy, and not much care at all about the Steelers. Whew.



(but it'd still be cute)
