Yay, condo sale!
That's very cool, Theo, the widget hooked up to Good Things.
I just ordered some more work appropriate pants because I've gone down another size, which is nice as I have been working on losing weight, but I am nowhere near done so I am buying stuff that I won't mind not letting go of in a couple more months, which is a strange mindset for shopping. I really need to find the power cable for my sewing machine so I can learn how to tailor the things I don't want to let go, but I'm pretty sure it's out in the shed and I plan to stay on the couch as much as possible today.
or it will all fit on the trailer if some of it is left on the curb.
Yay on the condo sale, hope the rest of the packing goes smoothly.
I tweaked my neck last night in my sleep. Ouch! I'm hoping that naproxen does the trick.
Or multiple trips! Congrats on getting that off the list.
Next available haircut appointment: in 2 weeks. Gah. I'm glad she's doing so well, but I am so sick of my hair. I wanted it cut a MONTH ago. Stupid car.
I'm alternately sorting through things to get rid of and teaching myself HTML5. Neither of these things is very inspiring. I did discover that I have at least five copies of Eight Cousins in various editions. They're all pretty old, but sadly not valuable.
I can't figure out what to do with books that are really worthless, such as ones with torn covers or paperbacks from that era in which the glue failed and all the pages are loose. I can't seem to bring myself to put them in the recycling bin.
you could make these wreaths. [link]
I am currently re-reading The Nine Tailors and the copy has completely fallen apart (it's a 1970s paperback.) I need a ribbon to keep it together. But I also feel weird about recycling it when I am done. I have read this volume easily 20 times.
Those are really pretty. I'd make one of those.
I haven't read
Eight Cousins
since ... probably since I was a kid. What was the other one?
An Old-Fashioned Girl?
I was too addicted to
Little Women
to stray far from it for long.
I actually like Old Fashioned Girl the best- I loved the romance, which ends up satisfied, and I love Polly living as a single girl and meeting the proto-feminist women.
Actually, I like Eight Cousins better than Little Women, too.
I think I like a good romance, and Little Women is not really satisfying in that sense-- you really like Laurie AND you see how it couldn't work, but Professor Bhaer doesn't get developed enough to see Jo with him as better. They did fix that in the movie, however.
