Summer updates

Updates Comments Off

I just realized its been a while since I made any sort of substantive update – so in the words of Inigo Montoya, “Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up”

Some summer highlights:

Tomatoes from the garden are 200% better than tomatoes from the store. I might never eat them from the store again.

Almost everyday, in my head, I thank all my friends who helped me build my garden. So now I’ll do it outside my head: Thank you!!! So very much!!!

Took a photography class with Franklin Habit at Loopy Yarns, AWESOME!

Had a house concert for Sooj which many of you came to.

On new (added) meds for my ADD which has resulted in major sleep disturbance. Its hard to concentrate with so little sleep, so its hard to evaluate the meds.

Have dyed my hair funny colors and gotten my ears re-pierced. I think I am worrying about getting old.

Fallen in love with a new (for me) tv show, Friday Night Lights. I haven’t liked a show this much since Buffy. Insert days of squeeing here. GGood stories, stong women, great characters, and lots of pretty – boys and girls and scenery, yum yum yum . . . Okay I’ll stop now before I get too out of control. ;)

Got Seanan McGuire’s new book. Just started reading it – enjoying it muchly.

Knitting is happening, lots of socks. Maybe pictures and possibly even a proto-pattern soon.

Want to make some earings – might need help with this.

My birthday is coming soon, I think I am closer to 40 than I’d like to be.

Scheduling craft and music days again, but not till 2010.

And I think that is probably enough for one post. Have to leave something for the next one!

Looking for a short story

I remember hearing it read when I was a kid – about a girl who lived (I think) on mars, where it rained all the time for years on end.  And it was scheduled to stop raining for the first time in years, and she ends up locked in a closet.

Ring any bells?


FOUND!!! thankyou everyone!

So I haven’t done this in a while, but its pretty easy, show up, bring a craft project, work on it, listen to some music and chat with the other people who showed up and brought their craft projects.

I will be providing some snacks and drinks, but would welcome any snacky things you would like to bring to share.

I’ll be ready for folks to show up around 1pm and we can craft our hearts out until everyone wants to go home.

Please RSVP – hope to see some of you!
