I'm anxious to get my 2nd BLOCK but the fact that I've already paid for it doesn't bother me at all. Sorta like an old commercial I used to see - 'Pay me now or pay me later'. $5.99 isn't going to break me. I remember I paid my cheerleader granddaughter for a subscription to a quilt magazine and it was at least 2 months or more before I got the first one.
