Cloth Napkins
I had been looking for some cheap cloth napkins, but not finding any, I made my own. Aren’t they pretty! Now I can stop using paper napkins. To be honest, I haven’t bought paper napkins in awhile and have just been using paper towels torn in half. So now I can feel classy and save the Earth at the same time.

www.retailmenot.com & FICO
For those of you who aren't aware, www.retailmenot.com collects coupon codes you can look up to save money on web purchases. And not just physical items that get shipped to you - I just saved 20% on the purchase of my current FICO scores & credit reports. It took a little of the sting out of having to pay to look at my own financial information. -

Good news and bad news

The bad news is that "it" - the slipcovers for my couch - caused a stain that makes it look like somebody stomped all over my bathtub with permanent mud. Scrubbing doesn't seem to help.

Mt. Rainier Cross Stitch
I've been asked to make a cross-stitch of Mt. Rainier for my aunt. Over the weekend I went insane and started a 12 x 18 inch version at 14 stitches per inch. I have since recovered from my insanity and now plan to start over on something smaller. I might decide to keep going with the large one and finish over the course of 3-5 years... -

I recently found out about a few funny websites, and thought I'd share:
Lasagna Cat: Some guy uses a green screen and costumes to make a live-action version of various lame Garfield comic strips, and then uses the footage to make a music video for each.
Flight of the Conchords on YouTube: A comedy-folk singer duo, I've only seen a couple of their ( Read more... ) -
GOB is snuggly at 7 AM sharp
For the past week or so, my kitten GOB has been jumping onto my bed at 7AM sharp, demanding to be let under the covers for some snuggling. This is, of course, just when I'm thinking, "I should *really* get out of bed now or I'll be late for work." Today he was about 3 minutes early. -
Tart Frozen Yogurt
Brian and I went out for ice cream on Sunday. We haven't done that in a really long time. I tried the tart frozen yogurt. I really liked it and now I can't stop thinking about it. I think it's similar to what they serve at Pinkberry. Now I understand why everybody's so obsessed. -
