That sounds like a great idea, Suzi.

I just registered for a triathlon in September. I hope that turns out to be a good decision.

I have lost my first passport (maybe Mummy has it?), but Jamaica gives 10 year passports from the get go. How incredibly useful, but I liked the stop motion--I got my first one before I was one, so there's basically propped up infant, awkward prepubescent, and then a sequence of different haircuts. Not all that much change since 20.

I was scared they wouldn't send me my last one back (I let it slide for a long time because I had a US passport, but it's not just a gesture (I'm not flipping my finger at the US mono citizenship, it's just something they can't take from me)--it's important to me to have.

I've been all blathery about redbubble and printing my stuff like I'm the first person to discover it. It's not pride, or concern no one will buy (I consider it my shop for me), but how do you get over the hump that *your* work doesn't deserve framing and hanging, even (or especially) in your own home? Is it a fake it till you make it situation? dA let me order the one msbelle recommended (said the other was an IP violation--same character, both named in the description--maybe it's the face showing? And my statement that it wasn't how it happened in the show?--but people put screencaps up for sale, so they gotta do something). Now I'm staring at redbubble thinking--original work? Could I capitalise on my mother's love of orchids (we think she's named them all--she has near 100) and draw something beautiful enough for her? Wall beautiful, not fridge beautiful, I mean.

How can it not be? (note: reply to -t about signing up for triathlon)

Chef was sweet and funny. And made me SO HUNGRY watching it, so eat first or plan to have dinner right afterwards.

After market, I went and dug up 20 tulips of who knows what variety at the annual Sherwood Garden dig. Didn't even try to plan. Certain beds were completely cleared out at a little after 9. Then I got the first pedicure of the year and hit up Target. I need to hit the liquor store at some point today for wine on the porch with the neighbors on Monday.

I don't know, Theo, it's just a commitment and I am nervous about those. But if I flake or whatever I'm just out the fees, it doesn't really matter to anyone else. So, yeah, should be fine.

I think I have my first passport from when I was, what, thirteen? I think I also have DH's from when he was 5. Little cutie.

Yay, print, ita! Orchids sound like good practice,if nothing else.

I think I might be too lazy to try to see a movie today.

While I was still doing my self-portrait-a-day project my mother insisted, not on being in a picture herself, which I'd have loved, but that I include at least one of her orchids.

I'm trying to raise an orchid here, but despite following instructions the biggest leaf fell off last night.

Hey--promotion time. Do all of you guys who sell stuff have an updated entry on the Buffistas Businesses section of the links page?

Unrelatedly, I was thinking about an animal sort of like the spotted hyena where the female has a phallus (faux-penis?) which she would then insert into a sperm sac of the male and suck sperm into her reproductive system. I've been told this [link] is close, but how much would change societally if women penetrated while still incubating and giving birth?

I just sent off my passport for renewal. Even though I haven't used it as much as I'd like, I've loved having it on hand, knowing that if work wanted to send me to one of our field offices I'd be good to go.
