msbelle, have you read Cutting for Stone or The Red Thread (by Ann Hood)? Both books remind me of you and when I am done with this infernal trip, if you haven't read them, then I will mail them to you.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't feel like showering, but I went in the ocean this afternoon, so I feel like I really should, but meh. I mean, right? My skin is salty, but I don't care.

I think I got cutting for stone when the nearby Borders was closing.
My attempt to replace elastic in a side section of a waistband on a vintage skirt have been thwarted, but I will try again. Sewing elastic while pulling it taught is hard.

My grandma had this contraption my grandpa made for her: 2 arcs attached at one end with a tightenable nut. At opposite ends were teeny c-clamps (all metal, he was a machinist.) That way she could stretch and hold the elastic to the right width and sew it in place.
Ran a few errands. Need to go tend friend's cat before it gets dark or raining again...

I have discovered a new-to-me band, The Coral. I love them! Listening to the high school indie rock station in the car has led me to some very interesting parts of the used CD store.

Or assuming it through revolution? Vampire princesses grow up to be vampire queens who expand their territories.
Assuming it through revolution and mind-control. This may be part of the reason Pete is not keen on the idea of me starting a cult.

Hee. What could go wrong with a cult??
I'm watching Basketball Wives (don't ask) and they bleeped "moist"!!!

But you'd be so good at it.

That's what I keep telling him. Does this persuade him? No.

Crappity. CJ is supposed to go up on the next belt test in September. We just found out the test date and it is the same weekend he has his first probationary test/field training trip with his search and rescue team. The next brown belt test should be about 3 months later, but still, it sucks.
