Yep, in fact I've actually met Lisa Walsh. Does this mean you went to Harvey Mudd? She was in the DH's class at Alhambra, and apparently her dad was his counselor.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Timelies!
I'm at my parents' housesitting until Tuesday. I hate being out here, so I'm trying to look at it as a "spa" weekend...only with crafts. I have four projects out here that I'm taking turns with: (1) crocheting a lace sleeveless shell, (2) binding Emily's Black and White quilt (which I got a whole side done last night! I was so excited!), (3) finish fixing the purple quilt that Emily ordered that wasn't "quilted," and (4) a brand new quilt.
I'm going to the quilt store today to finish buying the fabric for the new quilt. I'm so excited! I'm figuring out the measurements and what I need right now. Soon I will jump in the shower (as soon as I have clean clothes) and head off to the quilt store. Much fun will be had.
Hi vw! Have fun with the quilting and the knitting... I mean crocheting.
Yup, I'm a Mudder. Lisa was the class behind me. It's almost like we're distantly related.
Ooh, quilting store! I don't quilt, but I love quilting stores - all that fabric arranged by color is just so fun to look at.
I just found this [link] pattern online. I hope the shop has it, as I'd love to use it for a future project...Otherwise, I can always order it online. Although, if Emily sees me come in with any more "books for future projects," she might kick me out. Although, this isn't a book...it's just one pattern :)

Funky. Although you and my husband were apparently doing the Martinez balancing act - one person has to leave for another to move there. Or maybe there's just a Buffista quota.
Raquel, I just read your tag. I haven't heard the name "The Dead Milkmen" in YEARS. Good times.
edit: "Is there an R, Pat?"
Pretty pattern, vw. Looks like a lot of piecing. My mom had a "no triangle" rule for the last pattern she started after doing a pattern with a bunch Ts for me and a one with a rocket ship for my nephew, so I just look at that pattern and think "triangles!".
I have that sort of exclusion principle going on with a few places and people, Raquel. Makes it a little harder to actually meet people, but it makes me feel important.
(eta: landlord update - DH got an e-mail from him saying we'll get our full deposit! Happy surprise, that)
Susan W -- all the back-ma in the world to you, my sister in back pain this week.
HOwever, I think my backpain is less than yours because all I got was an anti-inflammatory pill and a muscle relaxant.
sumi, that sounds like what I got--Tylenol 3 and Flexeril.
I'm much better today. The muscles feel achey and stiff, but it's not a sharp pain unless I do something stupid. Which I'm trying not to do, of course, but it's hard to break the instinct that tries to catch something if it slips out of your hands, for example. But I'm feeling hopeful that by Tuesday I'll be in good enough shape to care for Annabel again.
