Quote of the moment:

"Sometimes I really think people ought to have to pass a proper exam before they're allowed to be parents. Not just the practical, I mean."

Thinking

Here's a photo of the swatch of what I am currently working on. Yes, I swatched. I figured out that I blocked it out just a little too aggressively, so when the project is finished, I have to remember to be a little bit gentler.

Halloween was good. We stayed in and watched a few movies. Now, we're bracing ourselves for the upcoming holidays and flipping coins to see who's going to which ones.

I almost have my homemade swift workable. So far, it's only cost me about 2 dollars. Unfortunately, I have to go buy some more materials. I'm hoping to keep it under $20. And not buy any lincoln logs.

I'd give a better post, but I'm still kind of sleepy.

Flipping a coin is a good start but here's a little tweak that makes the coin toss work better for me.i aim the coin at a shot of rum.If the coin comes down I shoot the rum pour another another.Repeat until the background screeching becomes soothing an the thinly veiled insults become charming.
