I've been awake since 2 am, and it looks like I'm up for the day. Tomorrow should be a light work day; a teleconference at 2 pm which I'll need to research for ahead of time. Also some email to send/respond to. I was so busy yesterday I worked through half my allotment of hours for the week.

Spent most of the last two days staining and sealing the ( Read more... )

So I'm off at a course, quite possibly my last since work keeps going to hell. I'll learn some stuff and enjoy the time alone. Hotel upgrade has given me the equivalent of a nice small apartment. We start at 7:45 tomorrow with breakfast and the dreaded social stuff. Then seminars and labwork and discussion.

There are two more weekends for the CSA, then the Delivery of the Turkey on the 23rd (estimate). I will be roasting Bob the Turkey (named by my mother) here, disassembling him, then carting him to WV for leisurely consumption of what's left. Last night I bought the episode of Haven from Amazon Prime that the DVR missed (Countdown) so that I can go ( Read more... )

When you can hear clocks ticking, keys clicking, and snow melting outside, you know you are alone in the house.

I have a list, such a list, which unfortunately includes many chores and errands and work.

Some tv I hope, and a fire tonight, and maybe writing although that's been on quite a hiatus. Work is tiresome right now, with projects at various ( Read more... )

My younger son is 10 years old. He had a Pokemon birthday sleepover. I made Munchlax and Snorlax cupcakes. Really, my residual creativity seems to be working itself out in cake. Even though I get my ideas from Google Images. :) This was my first experiment with marshmallow fondant; easy to make and way too sweet but fun to shape. Mini-marshmallows ( Read more... )

I can't believe the amount of stuff that is going on. None of it feels like life exactly, just stuff ( Read more... )

I have been inspired to more art-ish stuff while waiting for this week's Haven. Two of these I've posted before.
