I had some ducks outside my window this morning being very vocal. I had to rap on the window to get them to knock it off. Stupid quackers...

Anyway, I have my evening all set for Friday night. I even have a coupon for the pizza I'm gonna order. Yay!

I have to go to do some errands today as well as stop by the bookstore to see what has come in. I'll try to reign myself in. I will admit to behaving myself very well recently, but only because I've had to.

I haven't had any comments to my posts recently. I know that sometimes there are lag times and that people have lives. If only I didn't angst about it. I mean, not totally, but just a twinge here and there.

OK, time for some pics. They're not random, but a few are some projects I've done, some are birthday related and one is for amusement.




One finished scarf. Not to bad, eh? Ignore the fact that one end is wider than the other...

Well, I plan to peruse my FL and eventually change my Bishie of the Month banner on my userinfo page, so I'm going to toddle off now!

Trivia of the day: The brilliant colors in a hummingbird's feather are created by tiny platelets that resemble a pancake filled with air bubbles. They are called "interference colors," and are much like the shimmering colors seen in a soap bubble or in a drop of oil.

I took Robert Frost's advice and took the road less traveled... and promptly got lost.

We have a cook-out today for out Bible Study group. We're going to be starting back up again since the summer's almost 'over.' School here starts on the 7th, which seems odd to me since when I was in school it started much later. Strange...

I was able to finish up my Furuba Jyuunishi bookmarks yesterday. They didn't turn out too bad. It took me a bit to do them, though. I had to print them off (since there's a total of 15 of them, I had to print off about five sheets with three bookmarks per page). Then I had to cut them all out, trim them, laminate them, cut them out again and trim them again. Phew! Plus, I was feeling a bit light headed since I hadn't eaten yet. But, they're finished and looking decent, so it was pretty worth it. I may give them out to my Furuba fans, if anyone wants any. I have all the Jyuunishi plus Tohru, Kyo and Akito, so...

My scarf is really coming along. I still have a ways to go yet, but it probably won't take me all too long to finish it. Then I have to see about the fringe...


I just found out my dad and step-mother are going to be going to Germany to visit my German "brother." I'm a little disappointed, actually. I've mentioned quite a few times that if they ever decided to go, that I'd like to go with them since 1. I've never been out of the country (and the few times we drove through Canada doesn't count, IMHO) and 2. I have family connections in Germany. Most of my mother's side of my family came from Germany. My great-grandfather (my grandmother's father) actually was born over there, so it has a bit of sentimentality to it...


I'll probably get over it eventually, but I'll probably never get another chance to go. Oh well. Life's full of disappointment, and I know I've had my fair share already.


*reads* God, I sound whiny. OK. Shutting up now.

Today, I have a few minor housekeeping things to do. I want to try to save some of my image files onto CD-ROM sometime as well as some other things so that I can maybe free up some space on my hard drive. Do I want to attempt to defrag? I dunno yet.


Trivia of the day: From 1941 until 1950, violet was part of the color mixture for "M&M's"® Plain Chocolate Candies. Violet was replaced by tan. <-- I dunno why. Violet is so much prettier than plain ol' tan

I stayed up to watch "Whisper of the Heart" on TCM last night... or at least I tried to. Moon, my cat, kept whining for me to go to bed, so I gave in even though I wanted to see how the movie ended. Maybe it'll be out on DVD sometime.

The heavenly aroma of hot apple pie is wafting in the air at the moment. It's making me hungry, even though I ate breakfast about an hour and a half ago.

I wanted to take a screen shot of my screen so I could show everyone what my bookmarks look like, even though I haven't printed them off yet. However, I forgot how to do it exactly. I know there's a button on the keyboard to do it, but in order to get the image onto something so it can be seen, that's that part I forgot.

I still haven't found that one picture of Kagura's boar form I wanted. Maybe I'll have to do some searching. That's really the only thing that needs to be done to them.

Today I hope I can clean up some of my image files from my harddrive since I have quite a few. I'm always a little paranoid about stuff on my computer. Even moreso since it crashed a few months ago.

Well, looks like it's gonna be a short post today. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Today's subject line is brought to you by "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders." Thank you... and good night!

Trivia of the day: The term "happy-go-lucky" has been in existence since 1665.
