Month: January 2005

Tired today. Stayed up too late reading last night. I’m finding it hard to get motivated to do anything constructive today.

Boy is it windy today. At least the library has heat (finally), otherwise it would be very uncomfortable in here. I’m working pretty hard on the reference desk, and checking up my livejournal. I’m going to have to be more diligent about posting.

Tom’s at fighter practice today. We had a good first SCA meeting of the year and it looks like we’re going to get a great local turn out for the tourney of Ymir in February. Tom will be doing his MIT thing and I’ll be helping out in the kitchen. I like keeping busy at events. Our Canton is slowly recovering from having a lot of our active fighter get deployed last year.

On the home front, Tom’s busy at his new job and enjoying having his evenings and weekends free. I’m very busy at work wiht Army projects and local events. I’m looking forward to traveling to Monterey, CA for ALI (Army Library Institute) in April. I’ve never been to Kah-LEE-fornia before.

Due to a strange alignment of the planets I actually got to have (and enjoy) a four day weekend this past weekend. Mr. Phil worked for me over Sat. and Sun. to make up for some of the time he was off for his TDY (that’s Army-ese for Temporary Duty, means being away from your regular job for something official). So I’m in a good mood and pretty well rested. I spent a lot of time watching movies and playing Suikoden 2 on the PS.

Now, back to work.

I got a bunch of nice fabric with my X-mas Joann’s money and I need to make a fitting muslin. The problem with this is that it is a two person project and both people need to be fairly adept with sewing stuff. I’m thinking about proposing doing an A&S workshop so that a bunch of us can work together on this. The instructions I liked are on this site. http://http://www.cottesimple.com/fem_silhouette/curved/curved_1.html

I want to make a “versatile” gown for summer wear. We’ll see if it happens.

Boy it’s quiet.
Hope all the lovely friends are OK.
I’m trying to get more people I know to use LJ so I can read about them.

Hi there. I’ve been lurking on this community for a while. I’m impressed with the level of dedication and creativity shown by the women here. I started playing back in the days of the Red Book and I find 3ed to be a great new direction for D&D.

I’m posting to plug my little sister’s CafePress store. She does great gryhon art and has a really cute 2005 calendar. Check it out at http://www.cafepress.com/tyrrlin

Gotta boost my lil’ sister’s shop on CafePress. She’s always been the artist in the family. Check out her cute gryphon art. (www.cafepress.com/tyrrlin) You can see more of her work on Elfwood. http://www.elfwood.com and search for Tyrrlin.

We had a mellow New Year’s weekend with much vegging at home and some gaming. We are making many plans for the upcoming year including preparing for SCA events and starting (and re-starting) gaming campagins. It’s good to look ahead. I’m looking forward to more time to spend with Tom. I hope he’s looking forward to spending more time with me.
