Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.  -  Standing Bear

 

 

The lightning bugs put on quite a show tonight.  TCJ and I watched them through the living room window as they sparkled up into the air.

While we were watching, I saw someone's TV screen across the street.  Herky-jerky images in the distance.  From the sublime to the ridiculous.  I'd rather watch a bug. 

Work is getting increasingly interesting, which I didn't think was possible.  Apparently I'm working the night shift exclusively now.  On those rare times that I'm on the schedule.

I am gradually - very gradually - chipping away at my UFOs.  The sewing lemon is still working, so that helps a lot. 

I haven't been to The Gingerbread House in a while.  I hope they're able to slog along without me.  They have some Hoffman batiks, hand-dyed by islanders, that are drool-worthy to the max.  Haven't been to Hobby Lobby in a while, either, but they still send me their coupons.

Mum and Rex are going to Colorado next month to a reception.  The hostess is sending a plane to pick them up!  Mum says Donna Darlene has a beautiful house with 5 (five) guest rooms.  Sounds like my kind of house!

I joined a "Hot Tater" swap on my quilting group site.  Someone sends you two fats, then you send two on to the next person on your team.  You can keep either or both of the fats you get, but whatever you keep, you have to replace.  I hope they're qsq, because I'm such the fabric snob.  Not a yarn snob, mind you, just a fabric snob.  Oh.  "Qsq" means "quilt shop quality."  Not Joanne quality.  Not WalMart quality.  Thread count and all that, you know.  I got all qsq in the bug exchange I was in recently, thankfully.  And cute bugs they were, too. 

The Crochet Dude still has not opened his email from that woman who is so famous I don't know who she is.  It's going to get lost in the space-time continuum if he doesn't open it soon.

Speaking of that, Andrito's Bejoran meditation afghan is turning out to be brilliant.  Fushia and Royal and White.  Gorgeous.

Okay, well I have to go to bed now.

Buona notte.

Kel, nothing has changed since I saw you and Lonnie the other day. Except I had a semi-driveoff on Saturday. I think that was after I saw you. It was Chris the racecar driver. Actually, it was his wife. He was pumping the gas, she was paying. But she only paid for the car hauling the racecar, and he put gas in the racecar, too. I think she was just confused. I know I was. But there were so many customers in line, who knows?

Yes. QSQ. I don't like cheap, stiff, thin fabric. I only like "A" list fabric. I don't want to put the time and effort into something that's not going to look well after being washed a lot.

As far as messenger goes, I'm getting a crash course in STAR which involves a lot of computer stuff. Which I know nothing about, sadly.

QSQ, hey? ...Thread count, is it? Hot tater thing sounds like fun though :)

I am going to find you on msn eventually... *glares and nods*
Otherwise, I hope all is well.

Miss talking to you.
