Bobbing Along ...

13:16

I want to write something. Almost desperately, I want to write something. I just have no idea what to write.

I was correct in my assessment that nobody would respond to the survey that I filled out in my last entry. Does that make me smart, prophetic or just plain sad?

Spot has been driving me crazy ... begging me to go outside, then clinging to me when he comes in, then wanting to go out but I have to go too. What's he going to do when I have real job??

Finally found my PC magazines at the other house. They were in the silliest spot. Made me happy though - they've been missing for two years! Now I can go over patterns and see what I can make that is simple and will sell out here. I think have fairly good ideas of what should be popular. And there's only one woman (that I've noticed so far) who can offer me any competition. Lynne get your butt in gear on your beading if you want to join up with my table and sell things. I plan on getting a space by October, at least. So you have some time.

*click*
I've been doing my best to pick things out ahead of time and to get a few things now so that it won't be such a large dent in the pocket book later. Joyce has been very helpful with magazines and ideas. (Sometimes a bit too much) and Princess Mum was great about going shopping with me for a corset. We found what I needed in no time flat. Slow or quick, shopping is best done with company. the fitting is a long way off, but I've now set my mind on shoes. I have NO clue what to do for shoes. The dress is way too long and will need to be altered at any rate, but I think I would like a nice heel on it. Not stilettos, but a nice classic pump height. Something that will put up with a lot of movement, because you never know. I am not dainty with my footwear either. So, I am taking suggestions. Nothing lacy. It's kind of a Spring/Scottish/almost medieval theme ... If you can't describe the shoe, tell me where to find it and I'll take it from there.

HA! Just discovered a photographer ... evil plans have begun to hire her into my clutches. At the very least she'll be part of the guest list ... MWAHAHAHAHAHA! Does the Shepherd know who I refer to? He should! She's one of his photo happy friends! (Mine too!)

Can't wait for Saturday! Finally be able to relax at the Pit with a couple of friends who will be temporarily kidless. They are bringing Lemon meringue pie!!!! *******drooool********

My poor arms are itchy. I trimmed back the pumpkin plant yesterday and think I still have thornies in my skin. I can't find them, but it feels like it. The pumpkins are doing fine, but I hope they hurry and grow ... just in case winter starts early again this year! We have about five growing right now and I've cut back all the new vines and the flowers, so hopefully they accept all the energy of the plant ... which should now be focused on them! I'll even sacrifice a couple, if I need to!

Which Goddess do I pray to for that???

Sweet Dreams!

Who Are You? Who-oo? Who-oo?

20:20

For those of you who aren't on my Facebook Friends List, I thought I'd share a certain test result with you ...


Which Disney Princess Are You?

You are Belle. You are strong, deep, and you are not a slave to petty superficial things. You are independent and allow yourself to see inner beauty without sacrificing your values. You are almost too good of a person.

I just thought that this was interesting and funny all at once. I actually slipped a bit in my chair when I saw it.

Sweet Dreams!
