Of paint and bite marks.
So, busy weekend. Slowly working on fixing up the house to sell it, and I spent a looooooong time repainting bedrooms. Got kind of tired after the third coat of paint, then Tam managed to bite me on our night walk while she was having a barking match with the neighbourhood asshole. She nips all the time (the little sheep herder...) but this was a ( Read more... ) -

So, we had to put my Princess down yesterday. Her liver was failing along with a bunch of other problems, and she had stopped eating or drinking and was having trouble getting around. It happened ridiculously quickly - she was fine (or at least, seemed fine, though in retrospect she hadn't been quite herself for a while) a week ago then just ( Read more... ) -
Christmas Five
thefridayfive- What is your fave thing about Christmas? All the happy music, decorations, food, and family. Everything, really.
- Did you believe in Santa Clause? If so, what was the best gift from him? Yep! I can't remember too far back, but I think I was quite happy the year I got a PlayStation.

I am in a really fucking wonderful mood. My hair doesn't hate me today, I'm not particularly sleepy, my skin is all nice and not screaming for loads of make-up, it's wonderfully snowy and cold out (-10, feels like -18), I'm dressed, I only feel a bit sick, and I'm not craving human contact or excitement. So very,very lovely! I wish I felt like this ( Read more... ) -
I just realized I don't have any knitting icons. What is the world coming to?
I really want to go clothes shopping. I was planning to go today but slept in a bit too late and kind of chickened out about taking the bus and exploring by myself. Maybe Friday! I could really do with some new boots, too. My old magical ones are nearly dead. I did just win a lovely pair of reddish Mary Janes on ebay though.

Sometimes I worry that I live too much in my head.
I'm feeling very strange, though this new wintry weather is lovely. I've stopped skipping the Christmas songs in iTunes and think I may have to bust out the long winter coat soon. Now all I need is some holiday baking and chestnuts. Maybe some cranberries too. Bless the advertising companies and their greedy little hearts, I do love that we've ( Read more... ) -
Hello, I have aged.
My hands are sort of numb from too much knitting. Makes me wish I were a robot.
In honour of having survived another year of life, I bring you a ( sketchy self-portrait of doom ) -
TV makes life MAGICAL.
Okay, how did I not come across Dexter earlier? I've spent every free minute I've had in the last three days watching the first season and oh my, is it wonderful! Gripping, twisty, emotional - lovely! And Michael C. Hall's adorably creepy. Yet another fabulous show to add to my ever-growing list of shows to follow ( Read more... )
