Today has been a day of sleeping (what else is new?), reading Traitor's Moon (Nightrunner #3 by Lynn Flewelling), betaing a friend's novel, playing a bit of Sims2, and trying to find the cheapest source of 120 or so used tennis balls on eBay. I really should do other stuff, such as laundry, more betaing, and ... well, other stuff. Not sure how ( Read more... )

life as we know it, will, school

The problem I've had so far with buying them pre-made is that the windows are an odd size--36x48in, more or less.

Plus, I'm an intelligent person, and sewing machines have been around longer than I have. Surely I can figure mine out if I can just get over the worry about screwing it up. (No neuroses here, no way.)

I take that back. Do you realize that I've spent eight years not finding curtains to fit my windows, and then I go browse through a JC Penney site and find that they're listing measurments as WxL, not LxW as every other measurement on earth is given? Which means that my windows are more of a 48x36, which I can find curtains to accommodate.

The part I'm taking back? The "intelligent person" part. *headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

Have you got the entire Nightrunner series? Including the fourth? (which I devoured earlier this summer)

She actually has an LJ and I've had a nice time chatting with her a few times since the book's release (she's from northern Maine and lived in my area for a time, so we've had fun).

And fuck hon, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get your beta done. Things here have been NUTS... I'm SO sorry.

I've been rereading 1-3 so that I can read 4.

That's not a problem. You've got enough on your plate to worry about with everything going on in your family.

I just feel bad (even without my reading break yesterday, I'm not sure I would have had time for it, you know?)..... But ugh. Everything here went KABOOM!

Um, why do you need to stick cut up tennis balls on desks?

kaethe August 4 2008, 04:27:17 UTC

*g* We have tile floors. The tennis balls make the desks scoot without as much noise and without scraping the floors. You cut an opening and stick the tennis ball on the leg of the desk.

Ohhh, very clever!

Of course if the school system (like public systems everywhere) wasn't so cheap, they could get the appropriate slidy stoppers for the legs for a few cents each and save their hard working teachers some money!
