Sep 28, 2007 She has an amigurumi pattern book out, and it's fantastic -- I bought it specifically for the doll patterns, and I am so glad that I did. I give it 5 Stars, and all that jazz.
Now the doll arms now have a little somethin' to go with.
Sep 27, 2007 Sep 24, 2007 It's cooling off around here, but not nearly fast enough. About a week ago when it was sweater weather, I panicked, and whined the end of summer. I take it all back. I'd like a venti cold snap, please, and thank you. I miss jackets and scarves and cold, windy weather.
Today is my sister's birthday. I don't know if I've mentioned that she has a metal allergy, but it makes it hard to buy things for her. Harder than you'd think. No ordinary jewelry will do, because even a smidge of metal on something, even the findings or clasp, will cause her to break out in a rash. Giving her something like that always makes me feel guilty, no matter how much she likes it, because it's only a matter of time until she breaks out with welts, which is the opposite of cool. So I found this lovely shop on Etsy, and bought her this lovely ring -- I hope it makes its way to her soon. I might have to get one for myself.
I've been pestering my dad for us to all go on a road trip. He has an RV. It's huge. It's parked in my monstrous garage (goodbye, clothesline!) so I think we should put it to good use. I don't even want to go anywhere fancy, I just want to go. Away. In a supah cool house car. The novelty of microwaving a burrito and watching t.v. while driving will not wear off any time soon, I can assure you. I don't know if he'll go for it, but I will not stop gently suggesting this to him, repeatedly. At the top of my lungs.
I'm really, really looking forward to Halloween. I haven't started on the girls' costumes yet, but I've bought half of the supplies, and I have a plan, so that's a start. I'm promising myself that they will be done early. Not on time, but early. I have high hopes for myself. I have been working on holiday gifts, though. Well, holiday gift. Singular. I'm not telling you what it is, but I will give you a hint:
Sep 12, 2007 The oven's broken. The broiler and stovetop work, just not the oven. Know when I figured this out? Right before I was about to put some dinner in it. You know, what with the hopes of cooking it. With all the heat that it apparently NO LONGER HAS.
Now, the car won't start. Know when we figured this out? Right as we were leaving the band meeting, and I had 15 minutes to get to work. Needless to say, I was late. Also, I have no idea what's wrong with the car. It could be, like, all these things that I can't even spell, let alone explain to you.
And of course I'm still TOTALLY FREAKED about owing money on a credit card. Which explains everything, because once shit happens, it really, REALLY happens.
So, whatever, Universe. I have a microwave and a bike. Bite me.
