Eccentric Soap-Maker, Fanatical Fibre Artist, & All-Around Hippie

Stumbled across this picture that W had taken last October but unbeknownst to either of us, it showed Kestra had become possessed.

Well, i mean, we already knew she was possessed but hadn't noticed this particular manifestation of samesuch.

So, i had to make an icon, of course. To be used when i feel the world is behaving more batshit crazy than usual, methinks.

As some of you may already know, i have an Etsy site where i wanted to try and sell some of my stuff (soap, lipbalm & yarn items) that i've never quite finished because of Overwhelm and the feeling that there are elements missing from it. So, i ask you, my friends, please go to Harena's Homemade Soap and tell me what you think. If you were going to order something from that site, what would it need to corner your sale? What's Missing? (besides actual items for sale, i am aware of that one :P) What needs removing?

Be honest, i need to get my butt in gear. (Excepting the banner, that's the only thing i won't compromise on)

Here i go again having a dream about having extra cats besides Pip & Kestra! One was B&W (like Pip) and normal sized (unlike Pip), and the other was gray with a tiny bit of white. There was this woman visiting who was ostensibly an expert in the field of cat adoption/rescue (from a shelter oslt?) but she kept leaving the front door wide open and at one point i had to grab Kestra & then Pip by the tail to keep them from running out the door (which they weren't happy about At All) whilst i squeaked at W to close the door again...

We were living back in Reno again and i was with Charles (apparently W only got that brief cameo at the beginning). i had just been hired by McD's and i was fretting about coming in for my first day because i wasn't sure how to get there from the apartment, it had been so long since i had been there (to the McD's from the apartment). And it kept getting later and later & i was fretting at Charles whether i should just call them and say i couldn't start yet because of my back which wasn't 100% yet. Frequently during this i would find myself back in bed snuggling with Charles and i'd make us get up 'cause it was late and he needed to get going too.

And then Fred was there too and we were riding down this slope inside the apartment on a kiddie riding toy to watch this youtube video she had found that was about cats and was hilarious and this reminded me about that woman (from the shelter oslt) who was finally leaving but the door was hanging open again!! But fortunately i spied first Kestra and then the "blobby Pip" as i referred to him in the dream and then the gray cat but not the B&W one. :/ But at least that woman was now gone and i could keep the front door freaking shut!

There was more fretting about the job and a bit about this plastic tray that was apparently interactive with the phone call (to McD's) and one of the punch out answers on it (like those that are on the top of the drink lids) was something like "No, that will not do, you are fired" and i was trying to sort out if it was serious or if it was a joke. It felt a bit "HaHa, that was a joke, Fat Chance" to me, but i couldn't tell.

And that's about all i can remember.

Woohoo, it's been forever since a good mindless (mindless good?) meme came my way!



Yay for University Bubbles! ;D

In a random spurt of memory, i recalled this comment on kdsorceress's elljay... at the time, i thought i was over-estimating my numbers, but just now, i went and counted how many tshirts i actually own. Aaaand give or take a shirt here & there (from being in the laundry or crumpled in a heap under the bed or whatever), i own ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN TSHIRTS¹ And of that number, i easily would say i regularly wear at least 80-90 of them. Probly more.

*falls over*


1: This does not count long-sleeved tshirts of which i own another 14 >.>

Best. Christmas. Decoration. Ever.



. o O (The green plushies were a pre-existing condition, 2/3's of which were brought to me by Rtizy ^_^)(Quiz Time! Which Two????)

And so, B&Z are merrily decorating the tree and singing....

They Might Be Giants! Thermostat to be precise at this moment.

i love my kids ;D

So the other day as W&I were coming in the door from i don't remember what anymore, Mr. UPS Man walks up to me hands me a box! And i'm all, "huh. i am not expecting anything from UPS" and but who am i to turn down a box? And a box with the return address of ThinkGeek.com, no less!

i take it into the office and set it down on the CoA and tore at the tape in frantic curiositycarefully cut it open and this is what was inside!

First, Books!

• Geek Guide to World Domination (Oh, W's gonna have fun with that one!)


• Mind Hacks (i'll love it if this would really help us hack into our brains and make 'em work betterer ;D)


• Forbidden Knowledge (Doesn't that sound positively scandalous?? :D)


• A Girls Guide To Dating a Geek (It's a toss-up which of us would use this one more ;D)


• Limited Edition Pac-Man Moleskine Notebook (i sense another tug-o-war >.>)

Second, Shinys!

• Huey the Chameleon Color Sensing Lamp (Oh, Jinkies, i've already had a ridiculous amount of fun with this one.. .and astonishingly, the main color he has become is green! Who even knew???)


• Evolv'ems Dimetrodon/Cynognathus (man, just can't say that one right even though the pronunciation is on its wee tag ;D) plushie! (it's Green! it's Yellow! When it's green, it's a matched set with ol' Huey! ;D)(and yes, i totally have it so that it has an extra set of legs sticking out of its tum right now >.>)


• Glow in the Dark Mars Mud (Words totally Fail Me. So Much Shiny *dies again of ferret shock*)(Also, amusing note on this one: Ages 5 & up, woo, i'm old enough for this toy! :D)



• On the invoice but not in the box (and quite appropriately too, if you ask me) is the item "Schrodinger's cat included/not included"

THANK YOU SO MUCH RTIZY :'D :'D *hguglebugglewuggles*

Also thrown in the box was a wee box of Chocolate Rocks-Highly Caffeinated Chocolates... Don't know if i quite dare eat any of those.. W suggests i use them medicinally when i get one of my headaches ;D

So, W&I did our Duty today in the most UnAmerican way possible and not only walked, but walked through the woods (with W whacking madly at the wisteria in our backyard just to access the trail there) to our polling place and casted our votes. Unfortunately, there is very little chance of ousting the fellow in there who is evilevilevilnot a very caring person for those of us who are not Rich, White, and Male. We also voted for a local Supreme Court Judge with the unfortunate last name of Bushfan... and there was a fellow running for an additional judge slot by the name of Hardin. Afterwards i made the joke to W that i was a Hardin-Bushfan (say it outloud ;D).
