What's been happening this weekend

[mizarchivist]

First off- it's quite nice to be able to catch up on the internets while still in bed. My laptop lives in the kitchen 99.9% of the time, and when I woke up it was that half an hour in the morning that is unpleasantly bright. Bed is warmer and more tolerable. Apparently I hadn't read LJ since Friday night, but still a manageable number of posts to get through. :) This is not a repeatable task in Facebook in which there will be some half-hearted skimming.

quiet_elegance has been in Las Vegas for a union conference-y thing since Thursday. He doesn't do a lot of travel and even less on his own. I think the last trip he did solo was when his grandmother died and I couldn't go to the funeral. I, being a creature of habit and patterns, am not used to this sensation of him being gone. I am usually the one gone. It's very different. Next time, I'll make sure he packs the phone charger, as not getting to have a sedate conversation with him has been heightening the weird. Yesterday was technically his birthday. Not that he celebrates it in December any more - as I may have mentioned in previous years. He chooses to do so in June when it's grilling season and his nearest and dearest can manage better an actual birthday present that's not lumped or diminished by Christmas. He picked this trick up from my Dad who just hated December that much the year he turned 39. So, he was 39 for 3 months.

I got to hang with evila and shut_it_already yesterday evening. I'm doing some custom work for Mz. SIA, so she pointed to beads at Michael's. I ended up spending 3/4 of my meagre Christmas bonus. But, I have the prospect of several sales in the next 2 weeks. I got caught up in the fantastic options they have in "forged" and "natural" metal findings that I want to use for steam punk projects. I got a hideously designed cameo that I can use as the base of another mold for more elegant and steampunky works. Hee! Still no luck getting size 0 circular needles, though. I have to go to a knit-specific shop for that, but I am lazy. It can wait.

(or you could go to the yarn store that's walking distance from your house, i guess)

Your store was at the top of my list, but I was planning on being reclusive for as long as possible today before I go be social in the afternoon. I will come see you, but probably not before Christmas.

"We have o's four lengths"
