EASTER
Happy Zombie Jesus Day!
Yeah, yeah, I know I'm gonna burn. Being serious for a moment, may everyone
who celebrates it have a wonderful, peaceful and loving Easter.
Okay, enough of that crap -- let's talk about me. In reference to the
subject line, this has indeed been a busy, creative and podcast-laden
weekend, so much so that I have a whole bulleted list of stuff I've been
doing since Friday night:
- The checkbook is balanced and all the bills are out in the mail,
which means that my purse is about 5 pounds lighter and I don't have
to jam crumpled receipts back into the side pocket whenever I buy something.
- The tax paperwork is in progress and will be ready for mailing to
the accountant tomorrow. I don't know if we'll be getting anything
back, but fingers are crossed nonetheless.
- The laundry is all done -- I can find clean underwear again without
hunting through an Everest of clean but unfolded clothing. Huzzah!
- I've been downloading and listening to some fabulous podcasts over
the weekend -- We're
Mean Because You're Stupid, Pod
is My Copilot, and The
QCast Connection. With the last one, I was absolutely delighted
to discover that one of the 'casters is an old friend, so we've exchanged
some fun emails and I left them a voicemail in the smokiest voice I
could manage. There was mention of a seaside resort, a moonlit night,
and an inflatable kiddie pool full of banana pudding. I believe it
will be appreciated.
Crocheting
has been committed -- I have one finished cap and one cap in progress
for a friend who is currently undergoing chemo. The finished cap is
achingly romantic, and the in-progress cap is casual, spunky and goes
perfectly with jeans. Even better, the in-progress cap is being made
with yarn I bought before Christmas, so I'm actually whittling away
at the yarn stash. Of course, I bought five more skeins to make the
romantic cap and I have shitloads left over, so the stash is just laughing
at me. Anyone want a white cap with purple flowers and green ivy leaves?
Please?
- I've been working on stories and I have an idea for a new short-short.
When I told it to Lyndon, he shook his head and said, "They're gonna
burn you for that one." This makes me feel all warm and happy inside.
- I'm preparing a brocade jacket for a friend, and it is SOOOOOOOOO gorgeous. I may have to make one for myself.
So, what have you all been up to this weekend?
