Say you were meeting a new person, and you wanted them to have some idea of who you are, but you can't actually tell them in words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to look at/read/listen to/taste/etc.

What would you put in the box?

1. A grape swizzle-stick
2. A feather pillow
3. My ( Read more... )

So- Funny story there.

For those of you who don't know, I participate in a midevial re-enactment group, called the SCA. Our local group had been asked to help "provide flavor" for a summer camp held in Socorro this week. Since I had gone to Outlandish recently, most of my garb was still in the laundry. When I went to the garb closet, however, there ( Read more... )

When we got home from Outlandish on Sunday, my kitchen was filthy and Bill's garb was rank. I got the brillant idea to trade Bill closewasher time for dishwasher time, and as my dishes were washing, I flopped on his couch and watched "Good Eats: Wontons, PotStickers, and Dumplin". I was immediatly inspired to make potstickers, which were ( Read more... )

I did something terrifying today. I set up interviews for next week for jobs. I know this ought not be a big deal, but I've only actually interviewed twice in my whole life, and both times I got the job. I've only ever had one "grown up job", which I love, but I don't know if there is funding for next year.

So, Bit is learning to combine words, and make phrases of his own. I can defenatly see my personality and his daddy's blending, and it worries me some. "Momma down!" "Momma mean" and "More please", are some of his favorites, espeically after he has been told "No". On the plus side, he is also learning Thank You, and learning how to say his own name ( Read more... )

Spring semseter is upon us, and I feel pretty good about it. I haven't managed to work a whole week yet this year, between holidays, snowdays, and sick days. Little Bit had a bout of croup last week, so I stayed home with him quiet a bit, and we sat on the couch and hung out. Classes began last Tuesday, and my scholarship money appeared today.

Wow. I think that I have slept 18 hours in the last 24, and I'm thinking about taking another nap soon! Little bit has gone to his paternal grandparents with his dad, and I've gone down to the Gila to sleep and do homework. We've got two weeks of classes left, and I've got four big projects to finish. I've started all of them, at least ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to let people know Kev and I are still alive- but we're CRAZY buzy. I'm in class three nights a week, and working full time, but that's life. Kev is going to see his daddy this weekend. He's still not talking much- but he did say block for the first time last weekend.

Whee! I'm moved sucessfully! I started work two Thursdays ago, and start school Tuesday. It's looking good!

I'm done packing. Everything that Kevin and I are taking with us in either in my car or in the U-Haul. We'll see what all I forgot when we unpack, but for right now, I'm ESTATIC. Anyone willing to help me move should show up on the 9th about two at Desert Willows, either E-2 or E-5. (I forgot which one.) I will rent yet another truck so that all my ( Read more... )
