Toddlers and glitter don’t mix. I had a big jar of gold glitter, Sah-son (who was a toddler at the time) thought it was a great idea to dump the entire bottle inside his diaper. It was summertime and he was all hot and sweaty, when he went outside he whipped his diaper off and ran through the yard with his gold tushy sparkling in the sun. Fortunately it all dropped off in the grass and not in the house. I wish I had had a camera, he was so cute. **2gig** FB is how I keep up with who’s getting married, having babies, going on vacation, in the hospital and sometimes who has passed away. I post very little because for 1 I have an incredibly boring life and 2 what I’m doing is none of their business. It is pouring down hard out there! ---

\*\*sari \*\*- having a boring life hasn’t stopped my posting one bit! 😃 Either on FB or here. The way I see it, I’m not forcing anyone to read. Speaking of boring - I just finished stenciling the 2 tote bags I made last week. One has crabs on it, the other has black-eyed susans with dragonflies. The paint needs to cure, then I iron it in 3 days to set it. I can take them to the store on Friday - I think I’ll price them at $18, just to see if they sell. At that rate, maybe I’ll net half a buck an hour for my work, altho to be fair, I was using up scrap fabric, so it’s not like I bought it just for this project. But even for my time, I’m not even making minimum wage - good thing I’m not in it for the money. 😉 ---

Well, that was easy. My sister is buying both totes. Guess I’ll need to come up with some others to sell at the store. ---

Howdy from da cave! I had to make a visit up to the near north forty this afternoon. When I was done, I was faced with the choice of pointin’ twuck eastward toward da cave or southward toward the orifice. Twuck _insisted_, **insisted** I say, that I point him eastward, so here we are. 😃 I have some paperirk stuff to finish up online and it’s just as easy to do it from da cave as the orifice. In other news, still no rain and it’s hawt out. Stoopid weather PTB! **Spidey** you probably wouldn’t want to know about the kind of strip club I’d go to if’n I did such things. 😃 ---

I think we also don’t want to know how much glitter is stored in the cave… ---

**FCM** believe me, my life is way more boring than yours. I don’t do much of anything. Part of the reason for the surgery was so I could feel comfortable leaving the house. I have an invite to the ocean this coming weekend and I think I will turn it down. I would love to go but I’m still having some health issues. I didn’t want another procedure but now I am having second thoughts. I’m going to wait until after I move and see if getting away from the stress here makes a difference. It is just pouring down rain here. ---

Sun has come out here, but we might get some more tonight, maybe. Supper will be easy - Amish corn, Amish 'maters, Amish melon. Minimal cooking, maximal yum! ---

waitin’ for the rain to start - I checked the local radar - every neighborhood around me is getting drenched. [My block and the surrounding ones?](http://i.imgur.com/OhRC82e.png) nothing. ---

I usually don’t watch the news but we have some big flooding going on around here. We have had 5.76 inches of rain today. Glad I don’t have to go out. ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > Could be worse. A friend has been receiving arts and crafts herpes in wholesale lots. No illness or disease, but glitter in ten-pound quantities. Multiple colors and types, no less, ten pounds of each. I can’t even comprehend how large ten pounds of glitter is, but I feel sorry for her UPS guy as I’m sure there’s some leakage in transit. I wondered why the sidewalks in the Castro District were covered in glitter when I visited. Now I know. Seriously, folks, there is glitter \*embedded \*in the concrete over there. I can has vacation now. ---
