My Early Birthday Present

DH and my birthday are only a couple of days apart so we celebrate them together.  We went to Omaha had lunch and then hit our usual hangout, Best Buy.  He drools over the Blu-rays and I check out the gadgets.

I was really hoping my next "gadget" would be a dryer but DH doesn't get that the dryer shouldn't take 3 cycles to dry something.  He's just fine with doing laundry this way.  Yes, he does the laundry.  He only does it because I forget about it..cause the DRYER doesn't dry.

I don't even need a fancy dryer like the side loading kind.  I found one for a reasonable price but DH said we didn't need one.  Maybe I should accidentally break the dryer to point where he can't get it fixed.  It's only 10+ years old and has had parts replaced several times over the years.  I love DH dearly, but if he's happy doing a couple of loads of laundry that take all day to do, so be it.

My b-day gadget is a Bamboo pen and touch tablet.  It uses both a stylus and your fingers to scroll through pages and do items.  My last Bamboo tablet used a mouse and a stylus but it wasn't always that responsive.  I love the stylus on this tablet.  I'm still getting used to using my fingers like a mouse but it's getting easier.

On to quilting:

I despise Steam-a-seam 2 light.  It doesn't stay on the paper and makes a huge mess as it sticks to itself like Saran Wrap.  I'm cursed because all the LQS carry it and not the regular Steam-a-Seam or the Steam-a-Seam 2.  Everyone loves this stuff but me.

I've tried pinning it to the paper, cutting down the roll, I've even tried pressing it back on with an applique sheet.

I may have to order it from another site.  I found I could get an entire 25 yard roll of it for 119 at JoAnn.com.  I could use a 40% off coupon for that right?  

If you know how to use Steam-a-Seam 2 lite without going stark raving mad, let me know.
