Still here....

And, damn, I'm sleepy.

Went swimming at the Loveland Public Pool this morning (who knew they had one? turns out, I've been driving right past it, practically weekly, without ever spotting it). It was pretty nice, in that small-town-that-I-see-through-rose-tinted-glasses-because-I'm-movin'-on way.

I am sadly, utterly be-freckled, though.

Good morning!

I am terrified--too much work to do, not enough hours till I leave. And what am I going to do with all these important sticky notes on my desk? A sketch for a tea cozy, a book rec. for Wharton's Custom of the Country....

Kicking off the birthday festivities, I bought myself a pair of earrings and finished my new halter top. Which is wicked scandalous, mwah ha ha. Gonna drive across the country in it--no tickets for me, baybee!!!

Okay, birthday over. I'm satisfied.

I am a nerd. http://fibers.destinyslobster.com/index.html

Well, I give up. Nobody wants to buy my frikkin' furntiture. There's no point to my keeping anything any longer--the TV and couch can go, since Fux keeps pre-empting Buffy with sporting events.

Couch to the curb!

couch

(Man, how can no one want such a lovely, "retro" piece?!)

Oooh, mutterings to myself, over and over. Kinda harsh on you (3) readers. In the news—I am busily packing and trying to put my work life in order. I’d really like to find a stuffed Jackalope for my pappy before I head home, but we shall see how much time I have to go shopping. I will need to jog up to Laramie before I go, and that's solid territory for the fierce li'l buggers.

More mutterings, please disregard-

Margaret Cho is awesome. I have got to remember to read her blog more regularly.

And these are my new shoes (only mine are in bronze). Acquisitive little thing, ain't I? But at least I didn't pay anything close to that price.

By the way, check out number 14. It’s the shade I’m doing my halter top in. Working title: Rainbow Mart, Laramie, WY, 1985. Cuz that’s what the colors remind me of.

Flying Monkeys (aka an embroiderers' guild) are swarming all over downstairs. I keep nearly bowling them over in the hallways. Short little things.

All I want to do is get down to my bike so that I can fix it and swing home to pick up a few things at lunchtime. For reasons unknown, the left front brake is sticking to the wheel, and the noise is making me antsy.

I've entered a raffle for another bike, a beautiful red bike with disc brakes and front and rear suspension. You--especially the one with the luck with the raffles, you know who you are--keep your fingers crossed, 'kay?

Methinks that many of the younger generation who are learning to knit are using it as a substitute for human contact.

Anyone interested in a halter-top-knit-or-sew-along with me?
