Milestones is milestones, right?

I put my hair up this morning.

All by myself.

Much looser than usual, but I managed it, and it didn't hurt. Yay!

(I want my hand back.)

A student just came in to take my picture for her Love Your Body Day project.

I didn't even know there was a Love Your Body Day

Craft night at Serene's starting Monday, October 23rd

Craft night is back at our little hobbit hole. I provide the seats, the
tables, some general crafting stuff, and some snacks/drinks (and you're
welcome to share whatever we're having for dinner). You bring something
to work on, or do the crafts I set out, as you like. This time, I've got
paintable ornaments and some paints -- they're not specifically Xmassy,
most of them, so you can make Samhain ornaments for all I care. :-)

All forms of crafting are welcome, and men, women, and people of other
genders are encouraged to join us. I'm just learning to knit, so if
you're willing to help me with my beginning knitting projects, even
better.

• When: 2nd and 4th Monday nights, 6pm-9pm, beginning 10/23/06
  
• Where: North Oakland -- send me email for directions if you don't
  already know them (Sadly, our home is not wheelchair accessible -- stay
  tuned for our bad-movie parties at stonebender's at some point,
  where it *is* accessible)
  
• RSVP: unnecessary

Some crash space is available if we know you. Invite anyone you know and
like.

Children are welcome, and they will be expected to amuse themselves with
the crafts provided, bring their own crafts, or be entertained by the
folks what brung 'em.

Hope to see you there!

Fun with skepticism. :-)

I've seen this on no fewer than a dozen people's journals. Not a one of them has crossed out fewer than six attributes supposedly belonging to them. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, ain't it?

- Pick your birth month.
- Strike out anything that doesn't apply to you.
- Bold the five-ten that best apply to you.
