(Having successfully avoided Valentine's day - in my case, by getting a no-holds-barred sinus headache that put me to bed for most of it, but that's okay, because we both planned to do absolutely nothing for V-day, we are now packed and ready to go off for the weekend to Jamestown for a volunteer training thing.  But here's a post, because dammit, ( Read more... )

Just my luck, I got a lovely rhinovirus for New Years.  I'm pretty much over it now, and looking forward to Atlantian 12th Night this weekend, where Gardiner's is going to dress up pretty and show people what we do (and invite anyone interested to our next muster, since we now have a fort to play in).  I plan to wear my fancy collar and cuffs, and ( Read more... )

*I have been canning caramel apple pie filling all day, and have lost my mind.  This is half an idea I thought up about 6 months ago. Enjoy.

Q.  Dear Attack Laurel:  My Local Laurel has asked me to be her apprentice.  She already has 400 apprentices, so I don't know if I will get the one-on-one attention and teaching opportunities I desire.  What ( Read more... )

Muahahaha.

Dear George Clooney,

I hear that you are single again.  While I understand that you have a pattern of dating beautiful Hollywood stars for a couple of years and then moving on, may I suggest something new?  Please move in with us.

I think that we could be very happy together, even if we only had two years in which to develop our relationship.  Our ( Read more... )

The weekend was lovely, I'll update on that later.

In the process of moving, we've been going through old stuff, including backing up the computer, and Bob found something he wrote up for me a long time ago, and I want to re-publish it, because... well, you'll see.

( Funny bones, anyway... )

I feel pretty good about my life. I also feel pretty good about my body, up to and including refusing diet talk and body-shaming myself (okay, I'm working on that).

I am awesome. And as we know, pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins (also known as the fun things about life, and/or the easy way out), so clearly, I am going to Hell.

If I believed in ( Read more... )

( And in the new Capitalist Era, I want some of that sweet, sweet cash, too. )

FYI, I'm a redhead again.  I decided it was time.  It's a bit of a streaky red right now, but it will even out over time.

In other words, I'm a tabby cat again.  Lenny and Hobbes should be pleased.

But that's not why I'm writing today; I'm writing because I'm concerned for all y'all's television viewing.  That stuff will rot your teeth.

( *snort* )

Aaaaah.  A week (more, really, since state of the me updates don't count) of radio silence.  I bet y'all thought I was never going to post again.

It was all in a good cause - I am writing a document for work that I showed to my boss for the first time yesterday, and he loved it, so 20,000 words (65 pages) is all good.  He's started calling it "the ( Read more... )
