Two things are really getting my panties in a bunch right now. Both of them are how I’m being treated by companies, and I think it boils down to my impotent anger at not being treated the way I treat people. Why is customer service such a GD challenge for …

Last week we had the vet out again, this time to go ahead and give Bridgett her yearly shots. It seems that Old Dog has taken well to the new pain medicine (although the jury is still out on whether she likes the codeine more, or the wet cat food …
Hunting Party by Elizabeth Moon My rating: 5 of 5 stars The good: a quick, fun read. If you like Space Opera you’re going to already have an idea of what happens…. a disgraced officer on the outs with the military gets a new job yet still winds up solving …
Over the weekend, Tim installed a screen door on the door from my dye room to the back porch; there’s been one on the door from my office to the back porch for a while, but he noticed last week when I was furiously dyeing yarn for sock club that …
I am never, ever, ever, ever going to have time to finish that Sugar Skull/Cow Skull planter. Ugh. I want to, mind you; but the design ideas aren’t there and the time to work on it is fleeting. And then I ran out of the glaze I was going to …
It’s beautiful, but it just doesn’t look like Gainesville. I know I keep saying that, but if you saw what Gainesville is really like….? You’d get it. This; this is movie-set perfect. I alternately expect to see girls in poodle skirts and high pony tails sitting on the benches talking …
…. wait for it….
A lot of my evenings since the birthday party have looked like this. Pajamas, knitting, a little drinkie, and (until I ate them all) a cupcake. Mmmmmm. I should have cupcakes in the house all the time — they’re like tasty little love bombs. Mmmmm. Deliciousness. One thing that’s been …
Saturday I had a birthday party; the theme was, loosely, Epcot Food and Wine comes to Gainesville. Tim made some of our favorite foods from previous trips to Epcot, and we didn’t even make people stand in roped-off lines in the sun in order to eat it! If you’re seeing …
Guess what’s finally available? You can find them under Gifts for Yarn Lovers. Cross posted on the HaldeCraft blog.
Happy birthday, me!
I know! I never write. I never call. This week: major lip balm restock/new/inventory/overhaul, sock club, swag for a friend’s sock club, cleaning inside the house for the party, cleaning outside the house for the party, planning the party, quarterly sales tax, a pretty big ceramic custom job, first baby …
Have I invited you to my birthday party? No? Then I don’t like you. HAHAHAHAHA kidding — I did the invitation via an event on Facebook, so if you’re not on Facebook (erm, and not local*) I may have forgotten you. I keep going to email to try to invite …
If you’re thinking this week about whether or not I can help out with your Winter holiday gift-giving, you’re thinking about it at the right time. And I say that hating holiday decorations out in stores before Halloween just like the rest of you! Trust me. Christmas is my favorite …
Go ahead. Try to tell me these aren’t the cutest things you’ve ever seen in your life. I have a few left, still; and will have more next week. Jain gave me the idea to paint the hats like Jayne hats, so … yeah, I’ll have even more as soon …
You may remember last year when I had a booth at the Pride Festival with Wild Iris Books; last weekend the event rolled around again, and again we were there! I’m not sure if it was because we were in a different part of the layout (more near other vendors) …
So, this was helpful. “Imma help you dye sock club, mama!” “Help.” You keep using that word. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. More yarn ramblings ahead – thinking out loud about the next sock club. Still. Feel free to “tl; dr” and just click …
Actually work is keeping me hopping. But clearly work is slow for the kitties in this house. Lazy bastards. Maybe she should lower her prices. And I love how she looks totally offended that I’m taking her picture. Silly kitten.
I’m so behind in daily blogging that I can’t even remember what I did last Thursday. I do know that at one point I was all, “time to take a daily photo!” and I didn’t have anything exciting to photograph because the day had exploded, so I ran out and …
