Of course, it is going to take me FOREVER to finish it. But since my parents will be here, I might have a little more time to read. And once I move back to Davis, I am sure I will read more.

mushroom cheeseburger. Even though I have lost another 2 pounds and eating cheeseburgers just puts it right back on…
Share on FacebookToday I got the third draft of my paper back from my boss. And though I told him I needed it back last week, I got it back on the day I actually wanted it back. That is because I treated this situation like I treat friends/family who are always late. I estimate how late they will be, then subtract that from the time that I actually want something done. Sneaky, huh?
The disadvantage is that the other major author went away on his honeymoon and didn’t get my paper back to me before he left, like he promised. But I couldn’t pull the same number on him because I didn’t know when he was going away and thus could not back calculate fast enough.
Regardless, my meeting today was moved to tomorrow, which is great because I am working out some data and that will give me more time to figure out how to do what he wants me to do. Good times. Fun times. And it will give me time to look over the changes he wants me to make to the paper. Ouch! Hopefully there won’t be too many more major revisions because I am sick of looking at it.

I haven’t had new frames in about five years. I can’t WAIT to get something different. During my eye exam today, the doctor told me that the pressure in my eyes was a little high and that I should have it checked every two years. And that it was nothing to worry about. She mentioned the “nothing to worry about” like ten times. Hmmm… I think I would start to worry after hearing that phrase for the third time… call me crazy…
Anyway… I don’t know that I am going to go with something drastically different. I had wanted wire frames and something a little less bulky, but the styles just don’t seem to do it for me. Plus the dark frames help me maintain the “dorky” feel. I guess we will have to see…
And whatever happened to Lenscrafters “one hour” service? But at least I can have them by the end of the day today… and I already have two frames picked out. And the big A might help me find something different than what I already have… and that will be great! Sheesha already did a dry run with me trying on frames.
YAY for new glasses! And I can’t wait to show you what I got Sheesha for her birthday… but it is a surprise and she reads the blog so everyone’s gotta wait.
Share on FacebookI am knitting up a bag for someone and I want to felt it. I am knitting it with Lamb’s Pride wool and I am knitting in the round. So say I didn’t do a “special” edge and the thing is curling up. When I felt it, will it just uncurl? Also, can I sew a zipper in after I felt it? Or should I pick a different method of closure?
Anyone with felting experience? Anyone?

I realize that the past few weeks were treacherous. I have to put a lot of things in the past. In order to do that, I have got to stop purging on my blog. I got most of it out of my system anyway. I think that it had a lot to do with the mental health day… and an amazing weekend with Winemonkey.
Friday hadn’t started out so good. The place where I normally get my soap-making supplies didn’t have over HALF of the things I needed, but instead of getting upset over the 2 hour-out-of-my-way drive, I just went back to my house, met up with the Big A and went berry picking. We picked a ton of blackberries, a basket of raspberries, some apricots, and some nectarines. Our baskets overfloweth. (Plus, how could I not feel good in my cowboy hat?!?)
Then I had one of those fun, intimate weekends with Winemonkey. It was the last one of its kind since my parents are coming in and he is moving in with roommates. I think I have already mentioned this, but our relationship dynamics are much different when at least one of us lives alone. There is a freedom that somehow changes our attitudes. On Sunday night before we went to sleep, we just laid in bed, talking. And it was super nice.
My brain feels much better now. I haven’t been dwelling as much, which is always a good thing… and over the weekend, when Winemonkey could tell that I was spacing out, he would always bring me back to reality. God I love him.
