fortness and other random stuff to suck up time

hey cool--i was checking out loki's blog (at kid drop-offs and pick-ups we sometimes commiserate about how inadequate we are at maneuvering the blogosphere--can never seem to figure out the EASY way to do stuff!) and i was pleased as punch to see that she had done a piece about the girls' woodsy fort (as in, yay! now i don't have to! scritch--that's me crossing it off my really, really long to-do list) here it is, check it out cuz it's cool and there are some great pictures of the girls being all empowered by their creation: http://lokikohall.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-land-kid-version.html

as i mentioned i've been sewing up a storm lately and am right this minute in the process of posting some new pictures to my flickr site (see how capably i can multitask)...and i've recently learned about a new thing i have to do: facebook. yeah, i knew it was out there, but ignored it totally. last night rodney got a call from one of his back east best buddies--who we haven't seen since the wedding. he encouraged rodney to sign up with facebook because a lot of their old friends are on there and within the span of an evening he had located a couple dozen old friends. damn! i found out my DAD is on facebook. huh? the thought of re-hooking up with that many old high school friends (actually i don't think i even HAD that many friends in high school) is really weird, but there is one or two people i always wonder about and hey, it's worth a shot. (tony ray, where are you?!)

okay, i'm off to finalize that flickr download and then rodney is taking the kids for a bikeride so i can sew...oh yeah, i'm in mass-production now! i stayed up til two in the morning making peas the other night and today i'm making a bunch of tomatoes. sweatshops unite!




i'm grateful for:
the new bed
the sunshine today that lets a bikeride be possible
computers
wonderful friends
hope
