Went for a nice long walk yesterday. And yesterday evening (my time) went to a social dance. Today I plan to do some rollerblading.

My fun today was hosting gaming, and going to Minn-StF. Then I came home and made pizza for dinner - we had a nice rose' to go with it. I'm off to be shortly - this is my Sunday, I have to get up at 5am tomorrow to go to work. :-(

Nothing fun -- but industriousness has provided a clean house, which we will leave tomorrow for a ride to the mountains to see the last of the foliage.

Thanks for the snippet. I do so much enjoy the way you turn a phrase.

nice tantilizer in the snippett.

Loved the snippet =)

Traded a Tarot reading for a lovely massage, went shopping for floss for Xmas present work, and dozed a bit. Made supper for the other half. Put in the chickens, closed down the greenhouse, boxed the eggs. Did Not go to Farmer's Market and stand there selling too little and wasting time. Also dug about 10 feet of thistle. A little bit every day... sigh.
A darn good Saturday. Keep up the good work, and wishing you much better health, soon. Don't let the day job get you down!

I have FINISHED my test websites for my masters degree project. Now to hurl unsuspecting volunteers at them and measure their reactions :o)

Dress rehearsal for chorus concert tomorrow. Director was moderately pleased, though he said he wished we could afford three rehearsals with the orchestra rather than two. The bit before they sorted out the error in the parts that had the clarinet on E-flat and the bassoon on F was a bit painful, this being Haydn, not Hindemith.

Lovely little snippet, thanks. Miri takes Val Con as an authority most times -- fun to see an alternative view. But Daav, a pillar of sensibility? Well, it's all in your point of view ...

Love the snippet, thank you!

I spent hours (and hours) yesterday cleaning following an exciting visit from the electrician that resulted in two! fully! functional! outlets in the living room where previously we had one dead one and one that occasionally sent power surges through my UPS and set off the alarm. (!!) Hurray for the landlord's dime.

Today was one errand (two boxes of books donated at the library), lunch out, and an evening gathering, there to kill 'em and loot the bodies, also known as D&D (4th Ed.).

"Six whiskers short of a kitten" is a wonderful phrase! And no guesses as to who 'she' is *g*...

Yesterday I had my back garden demolished. It was an "urban wilderness area" (well, it was a wilderness, totally overgrown with brambles etc., I live in an 'urbs', and it is an area!) and now is almost flat. Until next summer when I expect the wild things to return.

Flegdling arrived here in Finland a couple of days ago. Thanks :)

Is that mailing cost fund still open ... and if so, what were the instructions?

Ooh, wonderful snippet! Thank you!

Also I can report successful Fledgling deliveries on 4 of the 5 I am responsible for, and I bet on the fifth too, but I haven't spoken to that friend in a few days.

Yesterday, I went to a day spa and immersed myself in relaxing decadence of a massage, hot tub, sauna, steam bath, and a lovely jaunt around the 500 acre property. Or at least as much of it as we could reasonably cover in one hour. It was a glorious day.

Lessee...
1. Shopping with my daughter which netted a pair of purple jeans for her as well as a number of seriously cool tops. I got two pairs of pants, two sweaters, & a top. $16... I love thrift store sales. heh.

2. OTOH it meant that my knees totally went out and left me spending most of the rest of the day in bed reading Crystal Soldier. This also meant that I missed going to The Basement and hearing my brother's band The Coolin' System play. meh

3. Started work on another Gray Cat Christmas graphic, because... I just had to!! When I'm done, it will go up here in my CafePress store.

Of course, now I should be getting busy and writing in my blog which I missed yesterday (I blame shopping!).

I want a hot tub. Which will have to wait until we hit the lottery. ::sigh::

Well, I spent a 12 hour day yesterday at one of my jobs, resolving patron issues while I tried to carefully change little seat icons in the ticketing system from a client's hold to open-for-sale status. That project took me about all day, changing over 5000 seats for Avenue Q in February. Profitable in the long term but not much fun. Today is much more pleasurable, indulging in pancake gluttony (buttermilk oat with sliced persimmons)and doing some reviewing of ULA (Utah library association) conference proposals relevant to the roundtable I'm chairing. I think I'll start some split pea soup soon. I'm also rereading "I Dare", after devouring "Fledging", for the umpteenth time.

Hot weekend in Geelong, Australia... I kept to the coolest part of the house and read Fledgling, which had just arrived at our local library.

Fledgling has also landed in New Zealand!

Saturday (farm/puppy sitting):
Indian Summer has arrived, 70º. Play with puppy (toss ball/toy down the steep hill so he has to run up it every time. Pooped pooch=15 minutes.) For whatever reason, this is his favorite fetch toy.


Grocery shopping without dog, and general sight-seeing country drive for about an hour, found coconut cream pie along the way!

Have lunch (leftover pizza and cheese stuffed manicotti). Play with puppy. Work on making thank you card for Nasa Tour during Texas Trip.

Play with puppy. Make dinner, chicken pasta salad. Failed attempt to watch a movie-on-demand from Dish Network, watched live TV instead, some Queen Latiffa movie. Read in bed.

Sunday:
Make homemade oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon & pecans for breakfast. Play with puppy. Read. Take puppy to "puppy play class" where he can play/be terrorized by a dozen other puppies. Clancy likes all of the people better then any of the other dogs. After 45 min. he is exhausted.

Sandwiches for lunch while we read the Sunday paper (dog sleeps). Now laundry, football games, and trying to see if satellite internet connection will allow me to watch the V pilot from Hulu.com (no), while dog sleeps. Tonight, possibly play with puppy once more before the sun goes down. Laundry continues, mediterranean chicken for dinner, some type of TV/reading entertainment mixture.

This is Clancy:

I don't suppose you could use that space ship on the cover of Liaden Universe® Companion Volume Two.

I haz two Misfits and a Maine Quartets, tnx! (Ooh, glossy cover on Misfits. Shiny...)
