And away we gooooo! Lot's of gooey goodness....
1. I was looking for a quiet corner, with lots of light, to knit in and found it in my own house. Yay!
2. Sharing dinners, or potlucks, is one of my favorite ways to socialize.
3. I looked at the clock and, Mon Dieu!, it was past time to feed Wolfie! I hate the summer time change!
4. My mother's old fashioned Fountain pen, which I still have, is the type of pen I most prefer to use.
5. What in the world happened to the pen company that still made the bladders for those old pens - I sometimes wonder about such things.
6. Staring into space, wondering about something seems to happen to me often.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Movie Night finished off with some "Frazier", tomorrow my plans include knitting and reading more about the Mind of Tao, and Sunday, I want to Observe Silence for an hour, knit more, and also cut out Moyalli's (my doll) Easter dress!
And then there is The Daily Babble:
Yesterday we went to get a CT for my eye, and then DH got to take the Jeep to get it's little head examined. This last came about because when we backed out of the parking space which we had occupied at the Center for Human Ills, Jeep pitched a fit, making some bumps and some very big noises! We got out to examine her rear end, literally, and finding nothing crunched, crumpled or dead in the road ( i.e., a big piece of the 4X4's innards laying there, we got back into our Precious One, and slowly proceeded forward. It happened again! Alas, the trip to the shoe store was aborted and we drove slowly home, listening carefully for anything ELSE alarming to occur, all the while giving our frown lines a very good work out.
After dropping me and my knitting off at home to comfort the doggie, Mr. Z headed to the Jeep Hospital where we had adopted her, and waited for the verdict (on "Freak'n, Scream'n Noises not Ever Heard Before") to fall in his ears and our pocket book. The Jeep Docs agreed that it was a good thing he came in right away. The tranny is good but a very bad and ugly butterfly had gone bad. If they save the miscreant part for me, I intend to pin it out on a black wooden heart and mount it on the garage wall.
That eye thing.. The Doc wants to see if there is infection inside my head. The little tube is still in place and it can, according to the Doctor's assistant, stay in there forever without causing alarm. It fact, these are the instruction in case it does come out:
You all know that joke, yes? The Doctor asks the patient if he has any pain. The man says, "No, unless I do this...(patient demonstrates)." So, the Doctor says, "Well, don't DO that!"
Have a great weekend all of you! Remember to have fun whenever you can because there's always lots of things lurking around corners to spoil it for you! lol
I wish I read my comments before I wrote my post, I needed a Friday meme but couldn't find one so I wrote about coffee of all things. I likely would have better entertained with a Friday Fill in.
ReplyDeleteNo fear, Julie, you have a lovely fun blog! I love your blog!
DeleteFriday Fill in is really a lot of fun. And it has a linkie so you can spend part of an evening reading all the posts.
I was just watching one of those antiques pickers type shows on TV. They had a woman on there talking about old pens/desks/stationery sets etc. She was telling the program host that writing with fountain pens is having a turn around in popularity and she specifically mentioned the reservoirs and nibs being available again! So keeps your eyes and ears open! Maybe Business/Office Depot might help you?
ReplyDeleteOh Karen, thank you so much! I will watch for these because I have several pens that are just one filling away from spitting giant inkblots onto my clothing.
