Freaky, part II.

And when I woke up from my 'short' nap (migraine, lack of sleep and 800mg of ibuprofen did the trick. Slept 4 hours) there was new user who has my sis' name as a nick. Ok, once again name which isn't very rare globally, but anyway.

Forum statistics.

~2100 messages in two weeks.

General.

You just got to love this body. Migraine which don't want to leave me completely, and now my ovaries are killing me. Not to mention that I'm so blue that I'd just like to be miserable and eat piles of chocolate.
'Fortunately' there's soy lecithin in chocolates so I can't eat it very much at one time. Maybe I should drink coffee 'til I explode...

I hate this kind of days.

Complaining and other things.

It's really freaky: I'm idling in my regular cross stitching forum and I just noticed that there's new user with nickname which is also name of Sonnenschein's (In fact his first name.). Ok, it's quite common name, but it's freaky anyway. At least in this time of night. (Maybe I've to tease him about that? )

Home page.

It's back online about 10th day of October. Which is great as I miss my link list, and it's horrible to use my HTML editor when it can't find background pics etc., which makes it awfully slow. It seems to make check-outs every frigging time I change mode from writing to preview and vice versa.
I'm just bit annoyed as HTML coding would have been great way to spend night. I can't sleep because of migraine, and I need something to do.

Migraine.

Still having migraine attack. I haven't got headache every day; day before yesterday I almost vomited (I don't vomit unless I'm very sick or I've terrible hangover - but I haven't drank any alcohol since August. (And I can't even remember when I've been intoxicated.)) suddenly and yesterday my stomach had it's opinion about things. But mainly I've had headache more or less.
At this moment I've 800mgs of ibuprofen in my system and it doesn't really help very much. It makes sharpest parts of pain duller(?), but still there's this aching in right side of my brains.

I think that this came because I ate all those carbohydrates earlier in this week. I don't know. It may be excess cheese consuming too, or drinking too much coffee or... There's millions of possibilities, unfortunately.

Bookmarks, part gazillion.

Yes, more about bookmarks.

I had this idea today when I made that Halloween bookmark. At first it sounded bit odd to me, but then I tried... and yes, beads do go to bookmarks if they're small ones (In this case Mill Hill's petite glass beads). I wont tell what was their actual use before that bookmark is in it's destination, but I'm quite happy with that solution. In fact it was great that I decided to spend 1,8 €s to those. Only thing I miss is that blending filament as I really could use it now...

My first SBQ and bookmark finishing problems.

Yesterday I read fellow stitcher's blog and found out about SBQ. It sounded like fun, so I joined in. And here comes my first:

Stitching Blogger's Question.

   "Have you ever just quit a project while in the midst of it? (We're not referring to UFOs here, rather projects that you know that you'll never work on again.) Why? What did you do with it - throw it out, give it away, put it away?"

I have. When I first put it away I ment to finish it some day, but then I found it 2-3- years later (which was this summer) and decided that I'll never finish it because

  • Fabric in that kit was aida, and about 12 HPI.
  • It was white aida.
  • Design was way too simple to my taste
  • I don't use table runners which are 80x 30 cms.
  • Flower design. (WTH had I thought?)
When it comes to aida, it has to be at least 14 count, preferably 16 or 18. And I don't like to use aida in big projects (though I'm currently working on one big project on 14 count aida, but that is my first and my last big on aida. Period.).
When it comes to table runners I have similar principles as I have with table cloth: they have to hang down from edges of my table (120x 80cm) at least on one direction.

I have to admit that I cut stitched part off and threw it away. I've used those scraps of non-stitched part to my dye experiments, and floss is in my misc. floss' box and I use them when needed in small projects.

I'm bad person, I know.

Thoughts about bookmarks.

I've been wondering how I'll finish those bookmarks I'm currently working on. I've decided winter one's finishing technique, but as I like to try different ways of finishing I want to try every possible way I can imagine.
In fact my main problem is how I'll finish spring bookmark as only nearly wise techniques seem to be in this case

  • Leave it as it is after stitching.
  • Use iron-on interfacing.
  • Buy piece of felt and stitch it to bookmark's back when doing edge's backstitching.

I've to fray it's edges, and for some reason I think it'll be good way with that. Anyway, I've to see.

Then there's other 'problem' (I think it's mainly problem to me): Maybe I'm just too PC, but I'm not sure would it be good idea to stitch whole pattern without leaving text off from it. Because it's 'peace' (שלומ) in Hebrew and I've heard enough anti-semitistic *** from people - though it seems to me that fellow stitchers are quite nice folks, and it's very much possible that I'm afraid for nothing.
I just think that alephbets are beautiful themselves and none of us can't deny that we could use some peace in this world.
And it'd be part of me in that bookmark as I do study Hebrew (Not to mention my general symbathy towards Judaism and Jewish people, or my intention to be one of them some day... ).

Parcels.

When I woke up and went to comp I realized that I've got message from my (receiving) Fall Secret Pal. Well, she had received her package and she liked things I sent to her:

  • piece of aida,
  • pattern leaflet,
  • beads,
  • SSS's 'Liquorice Tips' floss,
  • plastic canvas
  • Madeira rayon floss
and then there was scissor fob/ ornie (in the eye of the beholder) and card, which I made for her.

In fact that fob was very nice to do, as it was my first blackwork pattern ever. I made it with variegated DMC and added some golden metallics to it, I've to say that it was good as first attempt.
Not to mention that it's cord and tassel were first ones I've ever made, so... not bad from first timer?:

Other parcel.

Then I went to mail box and... I got my goodies from my LNS:

  • Black aida, for SEBE bookmark. (I'm also intending to do one of those SEBE BMs for myself on black.)
  • Plastic canvas, as it's time for me to try it.
  • More beads, for Yule card to someone who has been nice to me this year.
  • Mill Hill's ornament kit.

That blending filament will come later.

Bookmarks.

Once again about bookmarks, apparently I'm unable to talk about anything else. While stitching this one I'm doing now I've noticed that I've been right with something: I just have to do projects which have lots of colour changes as this has been fun to do, and it's full of confetti stitching.
And odd or not, there's only one counting error, and it's there because I was stitching in in the middle of the night. But no one knows where it is as you can't see it without seeing the pattern.

Not to mention that it's turning out beautifully. I am happy with it and I'm not flowery type usually.

=^^=

It's quite odd. I slept about 3-4 hours last night (was unable to sleep because my ovary tried to kill me.. ok, it was hurting, same difference) and I feel quite fine anyway. In fact this is one of the best mornings in ages.

Maybe I should try to sleep less?

Cats.

I've had two visitors last week and it has been quite interesting to follow how my cats and they get along.

'Old lady' was very cranky at first, but now she's almost nice even to my youngest tomcat (who can be extremely annoying). She's quite self-effacing tough, so in the end it's hard to say how well she's adapted.

Then there's 'little one', who has had bad beginning (both girls come from animal shelter originally) in life, and she has been very shy last three-or-so years.
I just wonder what has happened to that shy cat I knew, as nowadays she's acting almost like 'normal' cats. In fact she's changed quite a lot in one week. I think her posture has gotten better as she looks bigger than she used to when she came here week ago.

After a week she doesn't run away from me, she notifies me when she wants to come in or go out, she plays with my cats.. and what's great: she's not running away from me anymore.
She's not in petting terms with me yet (but she's not exactly in petting terms with anyone - usually), but her progress is amazing.

I think I'll miss those two.

Finished.

Needlecase and scissor fob are ready to begin their trip to new home. I just closed that envelope, and tomorrow I'll post them.

Pics will follow when she receives her letter.

I feel great. One more exchange finished in time.

New SAL.

Well, it seems that I got myself involved with one more SAL. This one is in EMS Cross Stitch Board, but arranged by arranger of my first-ever SAL (which is 1/3 finished). Pattern we'll use is Passione Ricamo's Topiary Sampler.

And it was a freebie (Not more available though.).

Allergy related.

I managed to make pizza dough which works like wheat based dough works. Great, but it seems that there's allergens in kitchen air because I threw pile of old ads to carbage yesterday (they were in same shelf I keep my flours etc, so there might have been traces of wheat, soy etc. in between those ads.. and now those are in the air. I got to put my air filter on...) or then I'm allergic to barley's 'dust'. Why I think so? Because I've got this swollen sensation on my face since I came back from kitchen.
Eating that doesn't seem to affect any way. If this were allergic reaction to barley I should be itching already. But I just have to knock on wood that I wont get allergic to barley too..

Bookmarks and other things.

It seems that I'll finish my bookmarks before sign up will be closed. (Of course I can't finish that winter one, as we know, but in theory) Done half of spring BM's crosses already, and I'm still sure about one thing: I've to do it for myself on black.

Herbs.

I don't know what causes it but sometimes chamomille tea comatizes me, and I don't understand why it is so.
For example today I just couldn't get up when my alarm clock (cell phone) rang. I slept four hours after it.

It's just bit awkward as I need to drink chamomille tea to be able to sleep, as I have brain overactivity phase again and you just can't sleep when your head is thinking about Universe and human oddities - or what you should do tomorrow...

In fact I'm like Elvis. I get stimulants (coffee) in the 'morning' to be able to wake up, and I need relaxants (chamomille tea) to be able to sleep. Lovely merry-go-round we have here, huh?

Sonnenschein.

He asked something yesterday which bothers me. It has nothing to do with us, but it may have to do with him. Even he asked it from me it has to do with his mind and fears - I think.

Sunday 25 September 2005

Bookmarks

Haa, first BM is almost finished. I've now done all I can do before getting that filament. (Addition: LNS doesn't have it in stock, so it takes some time before they get it in stock again. I just hope it comes in time - otherwise I just have to stitch that snow without it.)

Good replacement for frenchie: Colonial knot. That is clear enough explanation even to my stupid brains.

And... I know what pattern I'll use to that spring bookmark. Ok, it has flowers in it, but... I've wanted to do it for some time - I just forgot that I've that pattern, and I've wanted to do it.

Activity levels.

I don't know why but I've been almost surprisingly industrious today. No sign of any kind of tiredness, even my brains are working almost well.
Don't know what causes it. Either it's autumn and darkness it has brought, or then it's that Hillel Tokazier's CD I've been listening half of the day.

DBF.

It wasn't long, but we had very interesting conversation once again. It's always nice to read things from between lines. It really seems that I'm some kind of winged, benevolent creature to him. (It has to do with my surname, nothing else can explain it... "--- a beautiful and benevolent supernatural being or fairy ---")

...maybe we're just angels to eachothers, and demons to everyone else?

Problem solving.

Useless videoclip of a day: How to get rid of a dead whale?

Brains, anyone?

Signs of lunacy.

It's 1:40 (EEST) and I'm stitching a bookmark to forthcoming Short Extended Bookmark Exchange (Once again at EMS Cross Stitch Board.). This one's easy as there are themes and no user preferences.

I'm working on winter one now, and will do autumn themed when I get my goodies from my LNS. In fact I can't even finish that winter one (even it's almost done already) before I get that blending filament I ordered.
It seems that only tricky one will be spring themed, as I don't want to walk that easy way and stitch flowers. Fortunately it's last one and due in end of January so I've time.

Things, part N

Me: If I were this person I am and I could get rid of this frigging syndrome I'd be almost an angel.
He.: who said that you aren´t one already?

What you can say to something like that?

Sometimes he surprises me.

And then there are those moments when I'd like to hit him...Sometimes. But I think that it is my part in this world. I've never met a person I wouldn't like to bang with a book sometimes.

Aggressive? Maybe. PCOs? Quite probably. In fact those message lines in the beginning of this entry had to do with PCOs and my current hormonal balance.
I've been quite well-balanced last days, and I doubt that it has to do with this entry. And now it seems that I'm getting in the 'blue phase' of my cycle, so few days of misery and general depression in sight...

Great.

And next I'd like to see have I been right with that ovulation doubt of mine... Currently it looks that I might be. (Breasts are hurting and my back is killing me.)

Interesting thought: A. had his 31st birthday today.

Reason to weight loss.

I think I know why I lose weight. I don't consume carbohydrates very much nowadays, that has to be it.
As I made that barley pizza yesterday and my weight has increased, even it was almost only thing I ate - and it was small one.

So, I can eat great amounts of carbohydrates, but only sometimes if I want to lose weight. And to be honest I prefer to lose weight.

Personality.

In a way it's bit funny that as I am (try to be) quite logical and stick to facts, I'm considered as cold bastard. Unemotional machine, who has no warm feelings towards anyone.

If they just knew... but I can't save whole world, no matter how much I'd like to. So, I try to save one person at the time - and my current project is still under progress.

Note to self.

Hungarian Phrasebook

It's also quite funny that some people really think that they can hurt me by insulting me.
Sorry, I have a huge ego and it's idiot-resistant. (I also happen to know that I can be rude if I want to. I just despise idiocy. If it makes me demon from hell, let it be so.)

Another 'useful' link.

Research Randomizer Form

Bad me.

I just came back from online shopping spree...

Now I just have to justify it to myself... ok, I have justified it: I participated one more exchange so I do need more stuff, and ornament exchange is just behind the corner. I bought a little ornament kit, I just have to hope that it gets here in time. Otherwise I've to modify my ornie exchange plans.

But, ah, it was great.

...most people in here get drunk in Friday night. I grow my stash...

But what can I do? I have nothing else to do than stitch and idle as long as Sonneschein is 3000 kms from me. (Excuses, excuses, but what about it?)

Nationality.

For some reason it feels sometimes that people don't identify me as Finnish. Not even Finns themselves. I really would like to know why it's so?

It's possible that I just don't look like very stereotypic, even I am very stereotypic: blonde with blue eyes. I just dye my hair, because in my opinion my genes have done minor mistake when deciding my hair colour.

In fact I asked about that from Sonnenschein when I took my latest pic and (even) he said that I don't look exactly Finnish. And that was not the first time... Maybe this proves something about my roots.

But still there's one question: why don't they even indetify me as a Finn even when they don't know how I look? When they only see my location. Is my English too good? (I really don't believe it's so.) Am I too... something?

I hate this feeling of not belonging to anywhere.

Friday 23 September 2005

Mental exhibitionism.

Well, you shouldn't provoke lunatic... So, I 'had' to try Yahoo's 360° and added my blog feeds to there...

Then I found Feedburner while fighting with too easy feed addings:

My therapist...

It's a rocky road...

That is what followed from it...

Crazy? Maybe, who knows?

Household activities.

It seems that laundry is only thing in my done list today, nothing else will be done today as I haven't been eating today and I'm tired.
Yes, I should eat but what to do if you're not hungry or you don't feel like eating? I haven't even made any coffee today.

Though I really should try to do that barley based pizza... been planning trying it for some days already.

Forum statistics.

Over 1300 posts in first 7 days. 45 users. And most of them are quite silent.

And the rest of us blabber more than it's wise.

Good night.

I finished backstitches of scissor fob and I've to say that I am pleased with it. It's simple, but very stylish art nouveau flower (Lily I think, but I don't know flowers very well), and that antique lavender linen is just perfect fabric for it.

Darned, it's hard to be this good.

Journal pic.

Changed my default pic. For once I have a pic where I'm almost as cute as I'm IRL so why not use it? (Yes, I have quite good self-esteem, in case I sound egoistic to some.)

Looks.

Awkward transitions, part 69. Even these two things were in my mind when I begun to write this entry, so in fact it's not awkward transition... anyway: looks.

In this case Sonnenschein's looks.
It's just bit sad that he's worrying about his physical appearance and will I eventually accept it or not. Ok, he's not the lightest guy on Earth, but so what? First of all, he's quite sturdy naturally (which explains quite a lot). And second... I'm not best individual to judge anyone's physical apprearance, as I'm not the slimmest one on Earth.

Silly thing in this is that Sonnenschein is physically quite close to my 'ideal man': short (as 'short' as man about my height (~167-169cm) is...) and sturdy.

Yes, I confess that I've soft spot for men with broad backs and reasonable muscles. (And on the other hand I dislike bodybuilders.)
It may have to do with my own frame. As I'm not petite nor weak I prefer males who don't look physically inferior next to me, and who I can hug without crushing them.

In fact it's bit odd that he's not worried about that part in him which might be more meaningful to some: he is losing his hair during time. It's in his genes and it's happening all the time.
Well, they say that intellect and hair can't live in same head, so he should be happy. And anyway, he's those ones who'd look good completely shaven.

In the end only thing which matters anything is his smile, and it's cute enough to keep me thrilled (at least) next twenty years.

Username.

In case someone's wondering where Snowprincipessa comes from I can tell.

When we 'met' with Sonnenschein he used to call me Snow Queen... And if I recall correctly, it was taken when I was thinking of my blogger name, so I twisted it a bit. This is why I'm something as girly as snowprincipessa.

'Day off'

I was good to me and let myself to have a day off from housework, even there's piles to do as I've been sick last week.
So, anyway I decided to be a lazy bastard and spend this day stitching and start to organize tomorrow. DBF isn't going to move in tomorrow (unfortunately), so in theory I have no hurry.
Though, he's moving in in near future if nothing goes wrong - after all things which have gone wrong in last 8 months there shouldn't be very many things which could go wrong anymore....

It has been quite liberating, and I've almost finished cross stitches of both needlecase and scissor fob. It seems that I'll finish them this week and they'll be on their way latest in the beginning of next week.

My beloved torture.

I was happy because I had no migraines in ages -or if I had those ones faded with small amount of pain killers and coffee... This one is different kind. It begun yesterday, it was hiding this morning and now it's here... twisting my brains and grinding my nerves. And this all after two (relatively strong) pain killers.

This is one of those killer migraines which stay with me for a week. One more week on pain killers, oh joy...

Once again...

How it can be this difficult for an adult to remember to eat?

It's 8 o'clock in the evening and I've eaten two small apples and 1½ desilitres of yoghurt. I'm not hungry. I realized that I haven't been eating enough because I got tired hour or so ago. And even I realized it back then that I should eat, it took that hour or two before I actually remembered(!) to do anything to that issue.

Happy Day.

I received a parcel from Iceland. It was from my SP, and it contained nice things:

Mill Hill's kit called Autumn Harvest, so I can play with beads.

The Victoria Sampler's Kloster blocks learning kit, because my SP knew that I'm planning to learn hardanger some day.

Beautiful hand-dyed fabric.

Oh, it makes me glad. And I get even happier because latest Cross Stitcher's issue was in my mail box too... as it included next years calendar, which contains pile of cute designs to stitch.

Thank you Rosa.

Stupid teeny entry.

I love that man. I really do.

I really like these moments, moments of complete boredom and pain when your brains are completely empty (for once they're not full of thoughts)... these moments give room to little things like this.
For once there was quiet enough inside of me, and this entry came from it. My love for Sonnenschein is shy and sometimes it hides in that noise of my thoughts.

I love these silent moments. And I love Sonnenschein.

I'm happy. Now.

Things.

-11 kg. (And I ate like a horse yesterday...)

Issues, part II.

It seems that in-laws aren't a problem anymore. But who knows, even Sonnenschein was uncertain about them even he has talked with them.
But we all know that only way to prove our good intentions is to get Sonnenschein here, and let them see that we'll make it. At least he has that much confidence in me that he's moving after me. Shouldn't that be enough?

Sickness.

Getting better, no fever anymore. But I slept so well last night that now I have migraine. Which is great as I don't have any painkillers which I could take... (There are some old ones in medicine cabinet, with corn starch in them so... I let them be.)

Yule gifts.

I gave those keychains to my mom yesterday, and she seemed to be quite pleased.

Things to read.

Body temperature and other issues.

It's quite unfair that my body works in odd ways. And that it works in odd ways when I have no sex life.

This is how it is:

I doubt that I've ovulated in this cycle. When I got sick I got these odd pinching sensations in uteral(?) area, then I got horny (well, that is only suitable word to describe it so can't help being vulgar) and now my lower body is so sore. And it's about 14 days since my cycle begun.

Ovulation affects to woman's looks in certain way and I noticed that I've some of those signs in me. For example my lips are darker and fuller than they're usually (and this is not allergic reaction, even it could be, as my lips are extremely soft).

Freakest thing in this is that it seems that I may ovulate when I am sick, as my body temperature gets high enough to mature egg cell (my normal body temperature is very low).

And it's so cruel. When that little miracle happen that I (may) ovulate I can't do anything to use it in useful ways. I just have to watch it going down the drain...

It's friggin' depressing. Really, it makes me sad and hopeless. Currently I just would like to bang my head to the wall for few hours.
It'd hurt less.

Chat room hosting

...was a success.There weren't many of us, but I spent four hours gossiping.
It was really great, and really freaky as I don't usually get along with women.

Saturday 17 September 2005

Greetings from my sick mind.

Still sick. In fact it seems to get worse in certain sense. Though it's good as it means that I could get rid of this some day.
It's always better to be really sick few days than in no-man's land for weeks.

Admin issues.

As my sis mentioned my career as a forum admin started in quite disastrous way.
Fortunately we got free hosting from one nice individual and one forum user installed software on my behalf. Now we're back in business and there has been over 350 posts made (and 26 users) in first 24 hours.

To be honest, it feels great.

Dreams.

It's odd how faithful I am. I can't be close to another man even in my dreams without thinking what Sonneschein says about it. (And I know that he wouldn't say anything about that. Because he's too friggin' polite sometimes, and because he trusts my morals - at least that is what he has said.)

It felt good to be close to someone, even in a dream, as I haven't been close to anyone since I met A. for the last time. And still I felt so friggin' guilty because of it.
Oddest thing in it is that we never did anything in that dream with that guy - nor even intented.

It's seems that I'm quite a fundamentalistic monoamorist.

Issues.

He has certain problems with his parents' opinions, and it bothers me. Mostly because he's not able to speak with them in this week. Monday is some kind of estimation but...
This issue bothers him too, but still he doesn't want to talk about that with me.

I'm quite frustrated. And worried. And it bothers me that his stress affects to us. He's so stressed about that issue that he can't see other things clearly.
We have had few minor arguments because of his stress makes him blind in a way...

Have I ever said that I really wait that day when this waiting and uncertainty is over?

Other things.

Sometimes I doubt how sane I am.
I should be hosting one chatroom tomorrow evening... well, with some coffee I'll manage.

And... my home page will be offline few weeks - how will I survive without my list of freebie links?

Sick thoughts.

I don't know where I got this flue from but I got it. Friggin' great. Muscles are hurting, I've fever, I'm coughing, my joints are jammed etc..

Anyway. Maybe it's about having fever hallusinations or something but I realized in the morning that I have great legs. Quite interesting really.

Ok, I am sick. I'm just hallusinating. At least I can't write anything sensible.

Wednesday 14 September 2005

Administration.

I must be crazy. I took one forum in my control. I'm only admin in there so...
Though it's small one so it shouldn't be a burden. I just may have to get one co-moderator, just in case (because there are moments when I don't get into net in days - few of them but anyway...).

Disadvantages of peer groups.

I have been in Finnish PCOs-mailing list since it begun years ago (in fact I was in that original e-mail list from where it all begun...) and I really appreciate that support I get from there.
Just read one mail from there and I realized something: it has it disadvantages too.

Everything is great as long as there isn't loads (Yeah, sure. 'Loads' in a list which has about 200 members...) of pregnant women. At this moment there's enough of them... and it doesn't help my life at all.

I'm happy because of those pregnancies, because I know how hard their way has been, but I can't help getting a feeling of being stabbed. Continuously and violently straight to my soul.

My oldest child could be 4 years without this friggin' syndrome... (though I have to admit that it was good that we never got any kids. That divorce was hard enough for me to survive alone, it'd been disaster with kids...)

Blogging and other things.

Haa! Sis got an infection from me. Bloggerism is catchy.

Btw, why am I awake? Had to write something, so I got up. I don't know will I ever send it, but I have to write...
Projects code name could be In-laws.

For some reason it seems to me that no matter what, there's always some clashes between in-laws and my relationships. Could someone tell me why it is so?

Monday 12 September 2005

:)

-10 kg since May.

After eating (almost) well few days...

Hidden meanings...

..aka. International Jewish Conspiracy... (And in case someone wonders... no, I'm not anti-semite, I'm more like pro-semite. And that is more or less brutal inside "joke"...)

I subscribe to Beliefnet's Religious Joke of a Day newsletter and this came few days back, but I just read it first time.


Working By Results

A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans. Saint Peter addresses this guy, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi-driver, of New York City."

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi-driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

The taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it's the minister's turn.He stands erect and booms out, "I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years."

Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a taxi-driver and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?"

"Up here, we work by results," says Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."

Maybe just a coincidence or maybe there was some meaning behind cab driver's name...

*yawn*

Despite my migraine I finished my SP's gift and I have to say that it came out well. (At least I'm pleased to it.)
It included few things I've never done and still it looks good. In fact I'm surprised - though I'm way too tired to be happy because of it.

Well, I can be happy if she likes it - when ever she receives it (As it takes few days before I afford to sent it).

Blog, part 2.

My sis found this - finally. (I've had link to my blog in my home page... since... July.)

Well, it doesn't bother me. Only one who may have something really negative to say about this is my SIL...

Oh joy...

First migraine in ages so I can't sleep... at least not before that painkiller dozes me off.

How great excuse to stitch...

Thingies.

Sonnenschein is (/seems to be) back to normal, which is great. We talked quite much today, which is good also.

And he referred sligthly to his life in here... first time in days.

Exchanges.

Got my Fall Secret Pal info yesterday and already shopped online 'til I dropped. (Now I'm poor as rat, but who cares.)

I'm also doing little something for my SP. I just have to see how it turns out. If it'll be catastrophy I wont send it - "surprisingly". Otherwise it should be something she could even like.
IMO it's more like a gift, as it's ment to be in a way, when there's something hand-made in it.

Blog.

I've lurkers. Which means that some people actually read my blog. (And some actually visit my home page (I have my little elf who tells me that...).)

Apparently this isn't even that dull as I have always thought. Which is nice.

Why is it so?

Because it means that my life isn't as boring as I sometimes doubt it may seem to be, and my thoughts aren't that odd to majority as I think - or maybe only minorities read this..?

My dear readers, you can also comment entries if you want to.

Sis.

She's moving together with her bf -after two months of dating. They're so cute.

And I'm glad that her life seems to get better, at least in this important area.
