Last week was not so bad. It was on the whole a week where I did work, and not too much else. I did make it to the pool a couple times, and to Mary's with Keith! It's been a while, I missed it! On the other hand, our waitress was not excellent. But the food was still really good! Scallion pancakes! Yum Yum Yum! OK, I think I will have to try to ( Read more... )

Maybe I am sick... but I also have been quite busy.

Labor Day weekend was a blast. An exhausting blast, but a blast. On Friday I was finishing up my gifts for the weekend, a black leather zipper pouch for Dawn and a pink and yellow vintage plaid zipper pouch for Mary, as well as making lots of cookies for the parties.

This week has been going well, by which I mean things have been going slow. I've gotten a lot done in the last few days, work on my conference paper, that sort of stuff. I ran errands on Monday night, getting a few necessary groceries, and the like. I've also been working on my Flickr uploads, since I still hadn't put up all my vacation photos ( Read more... )

It has been a long, but mostly good, year. I'm going to grade myself here... and maybe set some goals for next year.

Art/Craft: CI haven't made a lot of stuff this year. I haven't finished a painting this year. Last year I did a couple! I want to actually be able to paint my sister a painting as a gift. I have not done a lot of sewing. I started a ( Read more... )
