I'm traumatized now. I'm afraid of farmers.

deliciouspear, pink_adidas and I went to the Lake City Way Farmer's Market today. It was Bea's and my first time. As we are getting really into the shopping, two cars smashed into each other in the buskers booth. The lady who had been performing managed to get away fairly unscathed.
We left shortly after that.

Thank you Dani!

The Melting Pot was wonderful. And we love Jeff!

I found $110.10 canadian dollars while walking Stewie this morning.
Thank you Fremont Oktoberfest!

Oceany goodness

pink_adidas, Stewie and I wen to Ocean Shores last night. It was to dark and featureless to really go wade in the water (Bea could hardly see the ocean at all, as the tide was out and she has night blindness) so we didn't actually leave the vicinity of the car.
And we looked up. Bea had never seen the Milky Way.
I've decided that I desperately miss Pam and Neil's cabin up in Clinton, BC. I used to go there once a summer. Walker has promised to go with me next summer. And we can see the northern lights.

This is my new battlecry:

Fluffy kitten lies down with stuffed animal!

Stewie managed to get ahold of the pajama pants I left at Walker's. I'm trying to decide if I care that there are holes in the crotch now.
At the very least, it's annoying.
But I've been looking on this webpage: http://www.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/lib-SpecTrain.htm for information on dealing with his seperation anxiety, maybe they will be helpful on this front too.

From Bea's nifty new book

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


That seems like a good thing to remember.

I forget how much Sika and I can get accomplished when we work on stuff together.
Things that should take a good ten hours or so, only take us five.
And she doesn't even seem to mind me getting all bossy and messing up my math at the same time.

Bea and I are on the same wavelength.
Fortunately this is a wavelength that ends in Ravioli Alfredo.

ATTN: Body

I am not allowed to start waking up at 6am. 7:30 is the earliest I'm willing to wake up.

Somehow, while cleaning, I managed to scrape off a perfectly round piece of skin. On the part of my thumb between thumb and the rest of my hand.
I would like to know how, especially since it hurts a lot now.

Bea's Questions

1. What smell has the most effect on you and how?
Rescue Remedy. Even the smell of it helps me to remember to breathe and calm down.

2. In striving to become the best version of yourself possible, it is better to have humility or discipline? Why?
Discipline. Since I work at home, and for myself, I have to set rules and schedules for myself, and I'd never manage that without a little discipline.

3. Crayons or oil pastels?
Crayons!

4. What do you feel is your closest counterpart in the insect world?
Butterfly. Because it has a purpose but it's still very impractical.

5. What one adventure would make life complete for you?
I would like to go to England. But I don't know if that qualifies as an adventure. And my life will be complete without it.

Reason #1 why I should wait until morning to type TolCon meeting notes.

kylldoran: cod of conduct?
maergid: yes, for the "who drank my half pint?" panel. but perhaps we should make it a code of conduct as no one listens to fish now-a-days
