Don't forget the basics

So, this morning, I'm trying to bind a baby quilt for Sandy's son's girlfriend, I get the bias tape, all pinned onto it, and go to find some white thread, to sew it with. In the 50 zillion spools of thread I have in my collection, can you believe I have NO white? Like WTF is up with that? Has my thread obsession made me neglect buying the basic colors? I searched high and low, but to no avail. Finally, I had a thought. Serger thread!! I must have white serger thread. Go to the box where I keep my serger threads, I see black, I see pink, I see red, I see navy blue, but do I see white? Nope! So, I retrace my steps, back to the drawers of colors, and find something that I think might work, white rayon embroidery thread. I thread the machine up with it, take some practice stitches, and the thread keeps breaking. Of course! Duh! Not using an embroidery needle. As I look for a different needle, in the accessory box for my machine, I spot my prize.. 4 practically full bobbins of white thread! Yay!! So what if I have to stop and change bobbins a couple of times.. this is great. I jump up, do a little happy dance, and get to the task at hand. Start binding, not my favorite thing in the world to do, but who cares at this point. I carefully bind the quilt from hell, only to screw up the last corner. Corners are not my strong point it seems. I clip the threads, rip the quilt from under the machine, and hold it up.. guess what I see sitting on the window ledge directly in front of me. A brand new 1000m spool of white Gutermann thread. Apparently in my search, I neglected to look at the window. Who would have guessed it would be there? Certainly not me!
