Something for your sister, right? (you can lie)
I totally lied to the clerk last night and said it was all for my niece. My imaginary niece.
What on?
Work has been slow, so I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on mixed media projects, art journaling, collages, etc. So, I bought a lot of wood-block stamps and ink, paints, stickers, stencils and chipboard cutouts....um....some yarn....$30 on soft gel medium and molding paste....trinkets....etc.? Possibly the scariest part is that the entire purchase fit into ONE Trader Joe's shopping bag.
That sounds like fun! It is scary that that stuff is that dense price-wise, I wouldn't have guessed.
And that was with a 20%-off-entire-purchase coupon.
Wow. Look how much you saved!
Dang it, the DVR has decided to reboot itself and it's taking long enough that I may be driven to unload and refill the dishwasher.
Whew, I got the contents of the drying rack by the sink put away and the DVR finished it's little dance. Saved from housework by entertainment!
There is an honest-to-god anti-flouridation nut asking for "holistic dentist" recommendations on one of our local listservs...fortunately there is also an actual dentist responding to her so I don't have to.
(No, sugar is not an acid. No, the amount of flouride in American tap water will not cause flourosis. No, dental x-rays will not give you cancer. And WTF does the word "holistic" even mean in the context of someone who by definition only treats your TEETH?)
Damn, two ambulances at my neighbor's house. I'll be worrying and peering out the window for a while...
ETA: and two members of the household taken away on stretchers, but they walked out of the house with assistance rather than getting carried, and a third member of the household is apparently okay. Worrying but not peering out the window, now.
I just finished harvesting about 2/3s of a wheelbarrow full of compost from my bin and tossed it on the garden. We're expecting a lot of precipitation this coming week, so I hope it'll all melt into the garden and feed the spring growth next month. Now I'm inside, sniffly and shivering. I hope I'm not coming down with something. But if I am, I'm glad it held off until I got my shopping and gardening done.
My cousin who lives in Hawaii is apparently anti-flouridation, as I learned when he was rude on a Facebook post of mine recently. He is also now given to posting stuff about how he naturally heals himself using leaves. In every picture of his 4 month old daughter (named Asha - neither parent has Indian heritage) she is not wearing anything (like, no diaper). Further reinforcing what I said about him when I last saw him at his mother's funeral a year ago: There is nothing so boring as a self-righteous hippie.
