Four very different things
1. Today is my father's birthday. The fact that he died seven years ago doesn't take that away from me or from him; he would've been 85 years old today, had he lived. I remember his music, his jokes, his pig-headed pain-in-the-ass stubbornness (that I inherited in droves) and his optimism; he damn well wasn't any sort of saint, but he was a good and loving father and husband and I miss him a lot. He was my fishing-buddy, he taught me how to read music and to tune a guitar by ear, the history of radio, the practical benefits of pulling pranks, and why you shouldn't ignore that smokey smell coming from your car-engine. Happy birthday, Daddy; I love you, I hope you're happy wherever you are, and I hope there's a lot of good jazz and swing there.
2. I bought a sewing-machine! It's my friend Sara's, a couple years old but a really excellent Kenmore and we're both happy with the deal. w00t!
3. I HAZ STUFF UP ON ETSY! Finally; six hand-felted acorn-shaped pincushions (which I call 'Nutjobs'), to be found at www.ysabet.etsy.com. Thanks, nightengale , for nudging me to finally do this! **rubs hands together** And now if they'll just sell..... and I need to get the other stuff posted too.
4. And speaking of nightengale ... I CAN HAZ SPRING BREAK! Even though I'm not in school, 'cause she's coming for a week in March and we're going places! Oh my freaking GODS do I need a break... **dancedancedance** Sedona, here we come!
