uninstalled my video games. Makes me angry, is a distraction, and a waste of time. Also a reminder of my pathetic, isolated childhood. **** em

It was in the high 60's, low 70's for a couple of days here so I worked in my front garden, repotted a plant, planned my patio for the garden and tidied up broken pots, etc.

What is bacalao?

 

If I were to make a wild guess, I'd say some kind of Portuguese stew.

I know that, but I'm in the mood for an ad hoc game of balderdash.

Oh, it is Spanish codfish --- but there is a Portuguese version...

 

Bacalhau (Portuguese pronunciation: [COLOR=#0645ad][bɐkɐˈʎaw][/COLOR]) is the [COLOR=#0645ad]Portuguese[/COLOR] word for [COLOR=#0645ad]dried and salted codfish[/COLOR]. Fresh (unsalted) cod is referred to as bacalhau fresco.

Cleaning up the house the morning after our New Years party. While a lot of it was done after everyone left, there was still a lot more to do the next day.

 

H. chased around our little rug bug, while I cleaned up. He was more exhausted than I was afterwards! Mobility is hell. :laugh:

My sister in law once accused my H of reminding her of House as if it was an insult. As far as he was concerned, it was a compliment :D:love:

 

My accomplishment? Not killing the chairman of our board.

 

Yet.

I had a dream about House last night. Actually, I knew it was really Hugh Laurie but he spoke and acted like House. He was teaching some kind of a creative writing class and I was the teacher's pet. :love:

 

I hope to have that dream more often in 2011.

Realizing I am my own karma.

 

I decided I wanted to learn to make bags and purses. So for my first attempt what do I do? Choose to make a three compartment yoga bag to hold your mat, clothes, shoes, and water bottle. To be carried like a messenger bag. And all without a purchased pattern to follow.

So yeah, any transgressions I enact, I turn around and punish myself for by always biting off more than I can chew. I have a close, personal relationship with my stitch ripper now. This bag is going to be the death of me. Its only the prototype and I hate making it already.
