Oh good, Kat. Now I have a good reason to see you soon. Too bad I won't be able to take the camera to NO, but I'm guessing others will make up for my mistake.

Tutus are easy, Franny even made one herself.

We made the sugar cookies. Egad, too tasty. I have two little sugarbomb babies on my hands.

I have to go run afternoon errands, like picking up my meds and getting some extra cash. And then pack, I must pack.

Have a good trip, Burrell!

It's 75 outside!

Band name alert!

Timelies all!

Well, my work week is half over. (I'm taking Friday off so we can drive to Toronto for FilkOntario. Taking Monday off to drive back.)

thanks, sarameg.

I don't think I could get Owen OUT of a tutu once he tried one on. I should really try that.

I went to a bridal shower last year where the hostess had bought cheapie tutus to use as lampshade covers -- it was actually kind of cute. Of course as the night went on, people started putting the tutus on. They were surprisingly stretchy!

I would be tempted to do this, but tutus (and anything else made of gathered netting or tulle) attract cat hair like crazy.

And the Sea Wasp's venom can kill you in 30 seconds.

I still half expect to someday read news about an obscure Australian creature whose bite, sting, or cross glance can make a victim spontaneously combust in an instant.

The early-60s Heloise book I've been obsessed with all my life suggests using nylon net for cheap curtains in your kitchen and/or bathroom -- easy to make! cheap to replace when you're bored! -- so I immediately thought that if you did that, when you swapped them out, you could totally use the old ones for tutus.

Not only have I read this book, I made the curtains!
