Just sneaking on real fast to say today is going to be exhausting.  I didn't sleep a wink last night because of the storm, I've been at work since 0820 this morning, and I won't be getting home until about 2300 tonight.  I'll be going straight from work to school for five hours of classes.  Yeesh.  Plus there's a flood warning out - several cars ( Read more... )

Lazy, lazy day today.  I've done absolutely nothing constructive aside from pampering myself.  And I don't really think that counts as constructive, so...

I love crochetting.  Most of my day was spent doing that, and it's a wonderful mindless activity.  So much more fun than knitting.  Thank you, Grandma, for teaching me!  Doesn't take very much ( Read more... )

I really hate Las Vegas traffic.  I almost got broadsided by a really freaking humongously big truck pulling out of a gas station.  There's a way to ruin your day...

Arianna is my new best friend.  She draws maps.  Good maps.  Good, detailed maps that make it easy to understand where the shoreline is, and which side of the line is land vs. which is ( Read more... )

I think yesterday was the laziest Saturday I've had in over a month.  I had a nice, slow, quiet, overall pleasant four hours at work, then came home to read and write a little bit. Then Mom, Dad, and the kids (plus LVA) went to a get-together with someone from their Bible study, so Murray and I had the house to ourselves from 1700 until well after ( Read more... )

I'll say one thing for bank classes - they certainly inspire my artistic side!  I've got another three pictures done.  Two of them are more of the usual - another outfit for women, and a religious pendant - but the last one is a great deal more significant, and an awful long time in coming!

This is Her Majesty Corine Lenavia Stevan XXXIX, 100th-odd ( Read more... )

Just some more pictures, though I suppose it's not really an art dump, per se. There's only one picture well, two, but one was just a doodle.

I now have pictures of formal Orvaen wear, casual wear for noblemen and women, and a nice-casual outfit for anyone.  Most of the explanation's with the various pictures, so I won't bore you terribly with the ( Read more... )

I really don't like shopping, because you keep finding all of this cute stuff, and then either you can't afford it, or you get into the dressing room to try it on and find that it just doesn't really look as good on you as you thought it would.  I tried on probably about thirty different shirts tonight, but only got four.  On the other hand, two, ( Read more... )

I loathe the traffic on the Las Vegas Strip at six o'clock on a Saturday night.  With a Passion.

The intersection of Flamingo and Claymont, or Clairmont, or whatever it is, is about four or five blocks from the freeway.  Fairly small blocks, too, all things considered.  I pulled onto Flamingo at about 6:10, 6:11 (I was actually looking at the clock ( Read more... )

...particularly when mixed with alchohol.  Fortunately, he was only...unwise...enough to do that once...

Ambient is a sleeping pill/drug that Dad uses to put himself asleep.  Murray once had an ADHD friend take a sleeping pill on a bus going to Wyoming, and he proceeded to spend the next half-hour before he zonked out being a great source of ( Read more... )
