- 06:21 Haven't had to do a Monday morning in a while. Ugh. #
- 08:09 Quiet ... #
- 13:05 Going to Yarn People as a participant #
- 15:49 Finished advanced list for Sept/Oct Graphic Books newsletter. Theme: Cthulu, Why Don't You Call Anymore? #
- 19:49 Went to park/walk dog and got caught in the rain. There are worse things. #
- 19:58 And there goes the power ... And here comes the power... And there ... #
- 07:45 Sacred music on the radio. Snuggling, sleeping-in Child. Much better. #
- 10:20 At church to refresh on multiple levels. #
- 15:24 So many ambitions that melt in this horrid heat! #
- 17:45 Ran thru sprinklers for a while. Marginally cooler but observed that part of our lawn may be burnt past recovery #
- 18:09 Dinner of heat-and-serve tikka masala and thinking through what's left to do to prep for an odd week to come. #
- 22:51 Of course the one night I need her to fall asleep on time, toddler status set to High Drama. But I think we're mostly ready for the week. #
- 23:41 Exhausted insomnia + ennui. If only there were a way to blame my husband ... #
- 07:17 Up way too early for a Saturday. Child had a pretty good night. Considering Children's Museum later. #
- 08:31 Not quite sure where she learned "shake your booty" #peapod #
- 11:51 Dear Summer, I know you're supposed to be hot and all, but this is ridiculous! #
- 15:05 Finished Purple Cow. Should really get out and play but so darn hot! #
- 20:29 Okay! Electronic things off! Bath time! Book time! #
I used to be really good at writing letters. Now, not so much. Yet I still love to get mail, hence my involvement with swaps of all kinds. But I'd like to try a little experiment in the form of Purple Cow.
I just finished putting this little gal together. Now she'd like to come visit you.
Before July 4, comment below with your address (comments screened, of course). You can also e-mail me, pm on FB or Ravelry. I'll put together a list and let you know when you should expect Purple Cow's visit.
You'll get a package with Purple Cow, a journal, and a disposable camera. Take a picture of yourself with Purple Cow, write something in the journal, and send Purple Cow along to the next person on the list. (Please don't keep her more than two weeks.)
And, yes, local folks can participate too! Just indicate if you would like me to send Purple Cow by mail or use it as an excuse to get together.
- Mood:
hot
- 05:59 Bit of a rough night as sinus drainage still makes sleeping difficult for Little Bear. Dragging myself in. #
- 09:07 The pop music section of Reference looks a titch ransacked and ruffled. Gee, I wonder why? #
- 10:52 Would really love to curl into fetal position under desk, have a good cry and a nap. No specific cause. Will weed instead. #
- 12:08 After the other night, don't think I can look at the pasta I brought for lunch. Getting out of Dodge. #
- 14:33 Just got a call from Little Bear's school. Poor girl's really sick! On my way to get her. #
- 16:15 Apple juice+Pirate Booty+snuggles+Sprout=1 little girl doing a titch better for the time being #
- 18:55 Some cute Peapod moments w her "going potty like Momma" and call-and-response "A You're Adorable" #peapod #
- 19:02 Now she's cradling her cup and singing "Rockabye Apple Juice" #peapod #
- 00:26 Poor Little Bear spent a good part of the night puking. No school or storytime tomorrow. #
- 07:50 No puking since about midnite, but taking today easy. Pretty sure that Peapod's summer cold had drainage that hit her tummy. BRAT diet today #
- 15:02 Attempted a nap, but coughing fit got the best of poor kid.. No puking, so we got that going for us. #
- 15:14 In the meantime, I solved my gnome-making issue. It was all in the gender, and that's all I'm saying! #crochet #gnomes #
- 17:19 Hello, rain. #
- 20:18 Went out to eat & ran into some friends we haven't spent time with in a while. Traded parenting war stories & laughed at each others kids #
- 06:45 #confession Listening to World War Z while knitting caused me to keep the light on while falling asleep. #
- 06:47 No reprocussions other than a brief appearance of @neilhimself in a school dream and being v tired. Still something different before bed. #
- 11:52 Researching salvagability of books damaged in Stacks a/c leak. *cries* #
- 13:41 Kid who looks like Huey from the Boondocks asking for Wallace's Infinite Jest #lifeisgood #
- 13:44 Colleagues who lend me their expertise and teach me something new #lifeisgood #
- 14:05 Meetings that include chocolate #lifeisgood #
- 17:09 Looking for a Web site that with tracking #s like BookCrossing except for objects. More like 1001Journals or wheresmyteddy #
- 07:58 difficult to get moving the morning after my evening shift #
- 08:46 On my way to training about sexual harrassment. So many jokes that must die inside. #
- 11:28 I do not weed Mysteries with confidence. I don't read in the genre, so I over-research. Don't want to do the readership a disservice. #
- 11:33 Noticed @lagina tweets about #postcrossing. Anybody else do this? (Maybe something to save for when Child is older.) #
- 11:42 I have done #letterboxing in a while either. Something else to do with the Child when she is older. #
- 16:59 And sometimes the Universe creates weeding projects for you. *sigh* #
- 20:04 Ate in. Kitchen and front room clean. Lunches made. Bags prepped. Walking dog. Fruit desert. Feeling like responsible adult. Must to stop. #
- 20:35 Hippie Christmas in our neighborhood. #
- 11:36 Unexplained burst of cleaning energy. Wish I could stay home and take advantage of it. #
- 12:18 Hit the boards talking Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, and Art Spiegelman. I love my job! #
- 16:27 Tired of shuffling calendars and schedules and cleaning up e-mail. Burying myself in the comfort of weeding. #
- 16:47 Things just went deathly silent ... please tell me that the a/c isn't out for the night! #
- 17:17 Just listened to @hodgman RTCA speech. Find myself deep in Nerd Lust. Must to have HTWIAM whisper shai-haluds to me. #
- 18:46 curious about librarian weeding angst zeitgeist. Had no idea it was so polarizing. #
- 20:40 One more word on weeding: Please to be viewing awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com before you begin. It will inspire! #
- 07:00 Driving HTWiAM again to Ellington Field. We'll celebrate Father's Day when you're off the Navy's clock. Still, hoping you have a good day. #
- 10:36 Cleaning and found a bunch of sympathy cards I've received that I had stashed. Remembered why I had stashed them. #
- 10:38 Happy Dads Day to Daddies, single parents who act as both, and any man who has been a positive influence on a child. #
- 13:17 Getting a lot of cleaning done but feel like I haven't paid enough attention to Child. Tried playing outside but headache-hot. #
- 17:31 Now Dad's Day can start, what with some good seafood and prezzies. #
- 18:00 Is that rain? *hopeful* #
- 22:27 Happy Solstice! #
- 23:24 Can't find batteries for the player to listen to World War Z while knitting. Prolly should be thinking bedward anyhow. #
- 07:01 Taking HTWIAM to Ellington Field. At least Reserves is local this time. #
- 10:46 Hooray for mall playground w a/c! Trying to find spot on hovering-spotting-neglect parent continuum. #
- 11:48 Full-on public screaming stomping tantrum. My, that was fun. #
- 16:50 RT @neilhimself: trying to work out whether Thumper meant this was Dune or Bambi, then realising they have pretty much the same plot. #
- 18:30 On our way to Chez Johnson for dinner/play date. #
- 09:50 I love the fact that HTWIAM knows "hoop-de-doop" means "Pop Tart." #loveis #
- 10:55 How to break the curse of never having enough yarn for projects? Suppose I'll have to visit yarn store. *croc tears* #knitting #
- 11:06 #Follow Friday: must to track @hellobigfoot but watch where you step! #
- 14:59 Even for Houston in June, it is way too hot! #
- 15:40 The fiber gods are with me-I have found colorway to finish HTWIAM's scarf! Also found needed yarn for purple cow/K's H costume #

- 07:35 Oof! That was one small, angry individual! #
- 12:59 Baby possum on today's CO desk calendar. Cute or creepy? #
- 15:35 Hey, remember that prediction that I would pay for staying up so late last night? Yep. #
- 17:31 There are some who call me ... Tim? #
