I used to sell consumer packaged magnets, including a wand with a strong magnet in the tip of it that I named "sew WANDerful" -- it was marketed it to seamstresses and crafters as a handy tool to pick up pins and needles. That was nearly 20 years ago...they're still selling like hotcakes. Happy Monday Liane!

We had 93 trick-or-treaters last night much to my amazement and delight...Halloween is a huge holiday here in Northern California.

After I decided it was not my thing to become a full time bookbinder just yet, everything I've pursued as the next best thing has only made me unhappy. No matter how many great schools I get into, no matter if I land on my childhood dream job, I never feel like me anymore. (I know, I should probably just quit everything and bind books, but it's freaking scary in a small country.)


I guess I'm not being very random.

Take two: Back in 2002 I shaved my head and later had it regularly cut by the town barber who cut it for free because it was good for his business to have pretty girls stop by the barbershop. Small towns, old men.

~i'm glad we can't hear what people are really thinking
~BUT! when i look around at people in bars engrossed in conversation i wish desperately i could flit around invisibly to hear what they choose to talk about
~every morning i wonder what animals have walked through our yard in the night
~i wish i could lose weight while i sleep
~clouds are cool

* I am double jointed in my left thumb.

* I can't sleep without earplugs.

* One of my hens laid a gigantic egg this weekend. I felt really sorry for that hen. Then I wondered if laying eggs hurts them like natural childbirth hurt me, then I figured, nah, probably not, or else there would be screaming chickens in the henhouse all day.

* Women who sew by hand experience lowered blood pressure.

* I can't decide whether to get a tattoo on my wrist or just below my collarbone.

- I feel "off" all day if I forget to put on earrings.
- Despite the fact that I get cold very easily, my favourite season is winter—the more snow, the better. It is so beautiful and quiet.
- I would love to have a machine that records my dreams so that I could watch them on my tv.
- I used to spend hours and hours just listening to music. Now I put music on when I'm doing other things: cleaning, cooking, knitting, driving. I miss "just" listening.
- I will never have enough time to knit all the yarn I own.
- The amount of sugar I can ingest in one day is rather alarming.
