Part 56
Saturday, October 1, 2005, 9:12pm: I've added some new things over in the Garden of Friendship section, specifically in the gifties part. :-) More to come after I get some food. :-P Or if I poop out tonight, tomorrow then. I hope. Can't Monday, because Monday is going to be busy, what with seeing my Cancer Family Care social worker in the a.m.; then moving some things from one room to another followed by major cleaning, then installing a futon; and then dashing off to my knitting group at 6pm for four (I hope!) hours of knittin' and dishin'! :-P Just a little FYI: I choose the music for my pages carefully. I love love videogame music (because I like playing videogames and also enjoy the gorgeous soundtracks too!) and anime music. So, yes, I know pretty much what I am using when I put these various songs up. :-) I even go to my own pages just to listen to music sometimes. :-P
Sunday, October 2, 2005, 1:38am: Go see all the beautiful gifts GrammyJ has given me! She is one talented lady!! Page 2 is all new things. And some of the gifts she sent me are in the GOF 5th Birthday Bash section.
2:31am: Just visiting my ChronoCross Summer page and briefly thinking of replaying that game. The pull is there. But I am the kind of gamer that has to get EVERYthing out of a game. I use strategy guides to the utmost. ChronoCross has so much to it, that it takes a lot of time. I don't have that right now... I shelved "Lost in Blue" (for the Nintendo DS) until a FAQ and/or walkthrough comes out--it's just toooo hard! I can't survive past about the third day. My stamina just won't hold out. And I am terrible at starting fires. HOWEVER, we just got "We Love Katamari" and, well,
we LOVE it! :-P We loved "Katamari
Damacy" too! LOL! Cat'r, at I just finished reading A Northern Light. If you've ever read Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy and/or seen "A Place in the Sun" (which is highly sympathetic to the killer...grrr), you must read A Northern Light. If you are a teenage girl, you must read this. Powerful, gripping! I just started reading Rebel Angels, which is the sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty. Victorian times, magic and power, a girls' school. Great stuff! 5:33am (eeeeek!): Okay, I have the pages up of the birthday presents I got from the Garden of Friendship. I didn't receive birthday pages made especially for me because ::d'oh!:: I forgot to sign up in time for that committee to even *know* about it. Same goes as to why I didn't get wedding anniversary pages from the Garden. My fault. I do wish I'd remembered, as it was our 25th (silver) wedding anniversary this year. Ah well. MUST.SLEEP.NOW. 3:12pm: Ooooo, I've been poking around the gorgeous Garden of Friendship Adoption Shoppe and grabbing, uh adopting things. :-P May I turn your attention to a much nicer version of a page I have had up since last year. It's called Happy Fall! :-)
I have several projects I've finished that I need to take photos of and get up in the Needlework section. Soon soon. Okay, off to grab a bite and get ready to go! 11:59pm: Received in an email
from Bunnicula's aunt:
Sunday, October 9, 2005, 3:14pm:
I have been remiss in not mentioning this earlier. October is
4:42pm: A new poem. 6:16pm: I know I didn't actually mention anything here at the time in CM's Diary about the awful tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and her aftermath, compounded by Hurricane Rita. I was in the midst of preparing for surgery (which didn't have to go forward after all, thank the gods!). I watched so much coverage on TV and made many prayers. And I have had notices up in several places on the site here linking to the Red Cross so that you can help out with any kind of donation at all. I just now found a memorial plaque over at Louise's Lodge. It's now on my Remembrances page.
Monday, October 10, 2005, 2:02pm: I was invited and accepted into a very new group yesterday, Wings of Love and Light. Neat people! I finished reading Rebel Angels a couple days ago (I could hardly put it down near the end!). Now I am reading The Full Cupboard of Life. I know this is not the first book in this series; but someone said it contains some nice descriptive prose about crocheting. :-) And I am finding that enough backstory is there that I am not totally lost. Amazon.com says, "In the fifth book in the prodigiously successful series, traditionally built, eminently sensible Mma Precious Ramotswe continues her enterprise at the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency in Gaborone, Botswana." I'm finding it a very comfortable read so far. :-)
Friday, October 14, 2005, 11:13pm: Finally! I have our handfasting pages done. :-) It's called Our Dance of Love and can be accessed off The Mouse House Holiday Pages index. I've been working on this for a couple days. In fact, I started yesterday (the 13th), exactly six months since our handfasting. :-)

animal photos.
Month.
