Hello gang, from the lazy word of the unemployed slackers. I'm in my PJs. I managed to make coffee. Potential!NewJob has been checking my references. No snow here, just an abundance of cats. Happy St. David's day. Get your leek or daffodil on.

well looks like there is a chance I'll be going to my first con this May. http://www.conquestkc.org/index.htm
either I'll be working a table, doing some panels, or most likely both. But depends on the $ situation. *crosses fingers* *knees start shaking*

Sigh. I've been searching so much esoteric plumbing crap for work on the innernets that now most of my ads on AW are plumbing related.
Suck.

I was taught the basic crochet stitch in college, but never went very far with it and eventually forgot it. However, still owning a crochet hook and some yarn, and desiring a way to keep my hands occupied in creative productivity when, say, watching TV, I decided to pick it up again. No, it has nothing to do with a desire to crochet a My Little Pony-themed scarf... ![]() Are they raining from the sky? Quote:

FARK! I WISH! Totally thought last night was Thursday, so today was Friday. Except that was probably so late that it was Thursday, but that didn't change the fact that today is not Friday.
Ooh, what kind of seeds? |

Dear Bank,
I am in receipt of your correspondence. Despite your adept finagling of the English language, your letter has not changed my opinion on the matter. Please note the enclosed photo of a large white, pasty exterior upon which to place your greedy corporate lips. Signed, Bettielee The Fairy
