Where I've Been

- swimming
- unwittingly joining the parent council
- embroidering cloth napkins for school snacks
- embroidering anything
- going to a knitting group and being the odd one out who embroiders instead of knits
- reading and scaring myself by reading Stephen King
- listening to the new Audrey Niffeneger
- working. blerg.
- listening to an elaborate make believe game Jr and my childcare charge play whenever they are here together
- seeing movies (one word review for Jennifer's Body: huh. One word review for Zombieland: ha!)
- being a Gleek
- buying my house (zomg!)
- spending less time online, partially due to owie wrists. Work = lots of typing.
- writing hand written letters
- making lots of paper Halloween crafts. Jr's craftiness is exploding right now and it's very interesting to witness. He makes things like "pirate ships with ghosts on them" with egg cartons, straws, paper and 4 rolls of tape. I also melt when I see him concentrating over his embroidery hoop (so far he has embroidered 2 trucks and a racecar).
- wondering why my 2 vacuums both decided to break at the same time
- thinking about people and the desire to be connected to other people vs the desire for privacy and convenience and the effect this has on the sharing of personal information online, such as blogs or micro blogging like facebook and twitter
