Dec. 20th, 2008 11:59 pmWe did an Austin run to see how the new car would handle it. Shopped and got neat things at Half Price Books, Tandy Leather, Ginger's Needlearts and Framing, and Dragon's Lair. I haven't been to Ginger's or Tandy Leather in several years, the latter closes at 4 on Saturday.
I haven't done leatherwork in ages, but I think it's time to dust off and improve those skills. Picked up a package of leather dyes, a bottle of protective sealer and some Celtic stamp tools. Should prove to be a good way to pass some time outside in warmer weather. At Ginger's, I found a few things; a lovely Celtic design, but mostly glass beads and small skein of lovely metallic thread.
In the last few days, I got to chapter three of Dragonfly in Amber, page 317 of 947. Current audio book is Mallets Aforethought. Can we say punny title?
Sunday, I plan to do the following:
Hook mouse, keyboard, and monitor to Kevin's Gateway and peel files off the Zip disks. I hope that goes well as I want to get back to writing again. All the files are stored there. To order a USB one would cost about 150 bucks... um... no, I think I'll try another way, but if anyone has a zip drive that will read 100MB disks and can use a few, drop me a line.
Write more cards out and get them ready for Monday mailing.
Do a quick run about the house, Monday will be busy. Meatloaf and potatoes or crock pot stew for Monday's dinner, but heck if I know for the rest of the week!
More later... off to annoy my Sims.
