We had the first snow of the season last night, maybe an inch, which is enough. we got about ten years worth of snow all at one time last year so I think we could do without snow entirely for a few years. Not that I expect there to be any fairness and justice in the universe, I’m just saying.
If this letter from Sean Connery to Steve Jobs is a fake I don’t want to know. I want to believe. There might not be any fairness or justice in the universe but at least let me have my fantasies.
I did get all the quilt pieces cut a couple of days ago and now I’m sewing them together. That’s a little bit more fun than the cutting but I tend to get bored with it really quickly. Usually when I’m starting a quilt I feel very enthusiastic about it, mentally calculating how long it should take (and it always takes three times longer than I think) and even thinking about the next quilt I have planned after that. But this time I have other things on my mind. I want to get it started and work on it but if I get it finished anytime this year that will be okay. The next quilt? I don’t even know. There are a couple of possibilities but I haven’t been thinking about it at all.
My fingers have been making a lot of stupid little mistakes typing lately. No, it’s not me. It’s my fingers. They’re doing it all by themselves. Little brats.
This is so true. I worked in a grocery store for a couple of years in the 80′s. People who are probably very nice, decent, and relatively intelligent most of the time turn into psycho retards when they enter a store and become customers. Oh, I know, some of them are like that all the time but stores seem to bring out the worst in people. I partly blame TV commercials in which smiling, happy people are always waited on by happy, smiling, perky employees who give them whatever they want in less than 30 seconds. People go into stores thinking real life should be just like the commercial. I say only “partly” because people really should know better.
How beautiful people get beautiful. A reminder everyone needs.
Yet another way to get your bacon fix. Which reminds me, I haven’t tried chocolate covered bacon yet and I really want to. Or maybe some bacon fudge. The problem is, I’d probably have to eat it all by myself. Most of my family is not as adventurous as I am.
This is sort of interesting. And definitely not a fail.

1. That hairstyle would be an excellent “wedding” hairstyle. I’m aghast they seem to consider it “poorly dressed.”
2. Every time I’ve been in the gourmet shop up where my parents live, I look at the Mo’s Bacon Chocolate bars and want to try one. Except, they’re like $6, and even I won’t pay $6 for a bar of chocolate that I might not like. (I can’t tell how I’d find bacon chocolate. It could be good, but it could also be nasty.) Bacon soda, though, no thanks: not really a soda fan.

If you made chocolate covered bacon, I’d certainly help you eat it.

That hairstyle is lovely! What an amazing amount of work.
And you get further on your enthusiasm than I do. I get to the buying the material and then I run out of steam. I’d offer you my sacks and sacks of old fabric, but I’m sure you have your own stash.

That hairstyle is mine – I did it and it’s my photo and it was posted without permission. I was rather shocked when I found out about it and I wouldn’t have been so upset and sent them an email demanding they take it down except that the whole purpose of that site is to make fun of people and some of the comments about my friend, whose hair it is, were extremely rude. Yes I am an amateur, I’m self taught and have only been doing hair as a fun hobby for 2 years. But I do it for fun. Thank you for not continuing in degrading it.

I think it’s lovely. You see so many people walking around looking like they didn’t even bother to comb their hair when they got up and that’s supposed to be fashionable. It’s a pleasure to see someone with an actual hairstyle, especially a beautiful and interesting one like this.
