Tornadoes. Very bad. Really happy we're okay...sad for those nearby who were not so fortunate. ;_; This was way, way too close for comfort...think I'm still in shock. -

My family is awesome.
My mother found out my sister's boyfriend was going to be there for the holidays (they'd never met him before), and she wasn't going to have time to clear up the clutter before he got there.
So she wrapped it. xD Like Christmas presents.
Epic win, Mom. Epic win. -

How in the hell did women manage to do needlework before the electric light? o_O I can barely see the stitches with light. >_<; -

I don't do this often, but this one's really important to me. Please consider donating even a few dollars.You might or might not know that my little sister has MS. She was diagnosed at sixteen. She spent much of the next several years on the decline, at one point losing half her vision, at other points just...falling over. She couldn't get out ( Read more... ) -

But noooo, some little nettle had to be hiding in my herb bed, right in the middle of a clump of similar-looking catnip, so I grabbed a handful without realizing it. D=Next year I am going to ( Read more... ) -

I don't really understand how some days I get hungry to the point of being dizzy between a late breakfast and an early lunch, but other days I realize at midnight that I somehow forgot to eat both lunch and dinner. o_O -

I really detest catty, gossiping women. Do they realize how incredibly annoying they are to listen to? There are a few near me at work and trying to concentrate while having the susurrous hissing of their conspiratorial whispers inflicted upon me is like trying to focus while sitting in the middle of a nest of cobras. Which I guess isn't all ( Read more... ) -

It's a little ludicrous that I can find everything from antique lace trim to a crochet fork (when I don't even crochet) in my craft stash, but not a thimble. I swear I own ten of the damned things, but they are nowhere to be found. I am having to improvise one out of the cap off a beer bottle and a scrap of microsuede. I feel like the trailer ( Read more... ) -
When vegetables attack
I transplanted lots of marigolds today. <3 David's not a big fan of them, but I love French marigolds (some of my favorite annuals after snapdragons and deep blue lobelia), so while I didn't buy a lot of them from the garden center this year, I did plant a couple packets of year-old seeds I had lying around in hopes some of them would come up.
