Random bits

--I don't remember meeting her. My first memory of her is in our house, going to the porch with my husband for a long talk.

Now, on holidays, secular and sacred, when she is not there I feel her absence.

Happy birthday, dear one. See you in 10 days.

--Well, looks like the socks are for me. The Sensational Socks book requires more math than I like, but seems to work. Yay!

--Ping is doing his summer hair loss, which is a bit...disturbing. Semi-naked pug! (Feels just a little creepy to pick him up since the hair loss is mostly lower half. Weird.)

--Am going to try to talk the fighters into going to Pax without me. I love the event, but every little penny counts right now. A bit over a grand on the Neon last month, and now the Century has to go in (inspection, tires, oil change, strange rattle...). And then there's the dentist, the taxes....

--It was a blessing to go to the calling hours and have the family so...Welsh. I felt right at home. The Browns are more woven into the fabric of our histories than we sometimes realize, but seeing Mark, Debbie, and Arwen brought it all home. However, where the hell does Marcello get off looking so young???!!!!!

Little Happy Dance

Words and Music should be at the house when I get home. Netflix rocks.

Of course, if I'm virtuous, I'll find the cutting table tonight, and sew tomorrow.

Do you feel virtuous punk? Well, do ya?

Naaaahhhhhh.

I love this quote

"We always used to say that in my family all of the men were strong and fierce because the women killed and ate the weak ones. True. ‘Tis true, you know."
