So... last night at derby practice, one of the drills was jumping. I know I have to do this in order to pass the minimum skills test for WFTDA.... Of course, I was in the group that had to do jumping drills first. Oh joy of joys.

Mind you, I've only been back on skates less than one month since having to take off two months for having dislocated and ( Read more... )

Well, not too sure if this counts as 'making' a thing, but I did finally restring my amber & jet necklace... bought at Pennsic a couple of years ago. Had the household (Ev Korku) medallion hanging from it and apparently the jump ring was wearing away at the silk beading thread... I decided not to wear it until such time as I was able to restring it ( Read more... )

Well, the first week of the new year has passed. I feel that I've made a few accomplishments.

1 - Finished the redesign (and launched!) for The Pedaler & The Packer (www.pedaler.com). It's been long overdue and I feel bad that it had taken me as long as it did. But, the owner is quite pleased with it. So, that's a win. *smile*
2 - Started actually ( Read more... )

It is my hope that this new year brings to all my friends more love, laughter, greater prosperity and that their dearest desires come true ( Read more... )

Well, I finished spinning up the 4.3 ounces of Falkland top I had. It was a fun spin. Now I have two skeins, roughly 2 ounces each (the second is just a bit more than the first because I didn't want a third, teeny skein). Still not sure what to do with it now that I've finished it. That makes for four skeins of yarn finished since Christmas. I must ( Read more... )

I'm just taking a 'condensed' course (ISA Intensive) through the local Adult Career Center. It's a program sponsored partially by the state of Ohio (as opposed to the state of confusion, where I usually live) as a means of training up Information Systems Analysts (figured it could do me some good). The other sponsor was a company (or more) that is ( Read more... )

So, yeah... I've been a bit busy this last week and a half.

Last Thursday (30 June 2011) my local ISP and web host went down - hard. See, they were actually "upgrading" their web hosting server when there was a multitude of critical failures. As far as I am concerned, the very first critical failure was their failure to communicate to their clients ( Read more... )

This post from attack_laurel is timely and very "to the point." We all have to take responsibility for the way we treat others and ourselves. If we don't, then don't expect to have many (if any) lasting friendships.

Derby on!!

Yesterday was a fairly good day. We went to Mugmort Melees and had fun seeing friends we don't get to see everyday. That part was fine ( Read more... )
