A window into the life of a professional geek, wife and mother (and nonni), stitcher/designer, bibliophile, old-school gamer, and whatever other roles she finds herself in.
Well. It's been almost a week since last I blogged. Life has been busy, but mostly in non-eventful ways. I'm a bit brainfried at the moment, so I'll just do a quick update.
It's pomegranate season! I love pomegranates (indeed, the whole family does), and I get them whenever I can. A little pricey, but well worth it. Actually, I've heard that pomegranates actually grow pretty well down here, so I'm toying with the idea of perhaps getting a couple of pomegranate trees. I also found a site with recipes, including a pomegranate-marinated rack of lamb that I'm going to have to try sometime!
It's been pouring rain here the past few days, and in the past 48 hours my pool has (once again!) gone from low to overflowing - I came home today to find water standing 3" deep on my deck and my back porch flooded. Again. Maybe before I get those pomegranate trees, I should build an ark!
While helping out with an event at DD's school, I learned some variant lyrics to the infamous "Chicken Dance", courtesy of kids who likely have older siblings!
I don't wanna be a chicken
I don't wanna be a duck
So I'll shake my butt
(...child wiggles rear-end...)
Tomorrow or Saturday, I'm going to take Last Supper off to get it cleaned and stretched, and probably the next weekend I'll be going with a stitching friend of mine up to her framer who does rather impressive work (special mat cuts and so on). I have a good framer down here, but as this piece is for DH, it warrants something super-special.
There was a new episode of Mythbusters last night - revisiting older segments, and retesting with viewer suggestions. I learned how tracer bullets work, and that being incendiary, they *can* make a car's fuel tank ignite. And that reminds me of a military maxim: Tracers work both directions.. Anyway, it was a very cool episode, and I'm glad to see new Mythbusters episodes.
Well, I've finished the web work I needed to do tonight, and it's been a long week. I'm off to watch the Clemson-N.C.State game (it's 14-0 Clemson early in the 2nd as I type this).
