goodbye NaBloPoMo...

It was fun for awhile, but I have to say that I have a newfound respect for daily bloggers that are consistently interesting and funny, and continuously find new things to say! It was hard, and I failed miserably in the interesting department on many occasions, I hope you all had some fun with me too- I loved keeping up with my girls and I found some wonderful blogs along the way that I might not have otherwise. :-)

I hope to continue to post regularly, but probably more like 3 times a week until I get a more interesting life (although that would logically make it more difficult to find time to blog!) I want to give some more time to Ravelry and to the job search, and of course, to knitting. I am going to be doing that every day, every spare minute from now on, as I have neglected it terribly in the last few weeks...the holiday is fast approaching!

a good friend of mine needs great karma

stomp your feet, light a candle, send good vibes, pray, whatever works- she needs the good kismet. Her mom is very ill, and might not make it. My friend is younger than I am, way too young to lose her mom, imo. So send some goodness out her way (she's in San Antonio if that helps you direct it there- her name is Kris) and cross a few appendages too.

thanks.

Wednesday is Free Rice day!

get busy and get smart!

Here's what the bathroom looks like...

inside of bathroom view-
freehand flowers that need some dimension still, but I like them anyway...

I moved the towel rack and toilet paper roller-thingy- used a drill and everything! I also took some long tab curtains and sewed them together for color and privacy. (i know, brown, what a color! but I had them on hand and I am an instant gratification type)

Outside of door -
it still has glue on the inset panel from what I imagine was a mirror in 1952, but it looks better today than it did yesterday! I just didn't think the thin panel would take a sanding well, I may add fabric or just paint with the glue pattern, it could look like clouds if I can figure it out...

you will have to trust me that the before was pretty bad, at least the door was, it probably wasn't used for a very long time. We didn't even notice it for a year, as it was hiding well in it's pocket and was stuck like glue in there! We had a bifold door until I got out the WD40 and went to work... gotta love an old house!

omg it's almost midnight

more to come later- pics of bathroom!

things could be worse category

discuss...

stumbled on a daft punk gem...

I love this. it seems some hands bit was going around the tube several months ago that now has over 8 million views- this is a response to the original, I think. I like this one better. :-)

and the weirdest part for me is that it is flagged on youtube for adult content...weird. I don't get it. I have seen much worse unflagged there (i.e. violence) and these women aren't in thongs and topless- sports bras and boy shorts! give me a break. and the song it's self is innocuous- kids wouldn't even get the sexual innuendo.
