Critterfixer Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Want me to mail you some Bob's? I think it's at HEB. I think I have a source in the big town I go to every two weeks. They were just out when I was there last. If they don't have it this time, I'll order it online. I just don't like doing that because I don't feel like storing a bunch in the freezer and it's cheaper to buy it in bulk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I painted some more on my apples. I don't know about this painting. It's kind of a mess. Thankfully, I didn't use a big bunch of paper for it, and there's still so much work to do that I have hopes it may turn out. If I don't like it, I'll turn it over and paint on the back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 What happened? Letz see--we had a homeless guy come in to the group, because he wants to write a book but doesn't write. Nice guy, but that was interesting. Also another writer delivered a treatise he wrote on how to plan a novel and those "pantsers" who don't can't possibly ever write anything good, or at best are time wasters. Somebody forgot to tell that to Stephen King, I guess. I am a pantser. I invent my characters as they come to me, I let the story run and let it develop the characters and see the characters develop the story and then I revise the daylight into it afterwards. Seems to work for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Valentine's Day being on Ash Wednesday and all, dh and I are going out for dinner tomorrow. :D Dh found a gift certificate for a nice restaurant that he thought he'd lost. :) Ds13's teacher told him today that he is supposed to be learning Elegie, which I have been telling him all week NOT to practice because she told me he should save it for a later time. 🙄 OK, then. My soil ammendments have arrived (free shipping from Home Depot). It is supposed to continue raining until tomorrow so I might be able to get some things done Thursday. I printed out a bunch of free garden journal pages, many of which look actually helpful, so I now have my binder sort of set up. All three colors of my sweet peppers have now sprouted, and I am hopeful for colorful peppers this summer. I have to find and clean my wheelbarrow. Which doesn't seem like it should be difficult except you haven't seen our garage. I believe it is what inspired John Bunyan's "Pit of Despair". :D Time for pj's!

luuknam Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Btw, youngest moved up to a full size violin yesterday. :hurray: Wow, Lynn's 9yo is a giant. Or Lynn's signature is seriously outdated. Broccoli is almost big enough for a 1/4 size, but since a 1/8 size is so insanely much smaller, he's had a 1/4 size from the start (i.e. 3 months ago). I'm almost 5'4", and I probably would be best off with a 7/8 size, though full size works. Didn't get it until 12yo though (and incidentally, I quit growing at 12yo - had been 5'+ since about 9.5yo). Yay! Dd11's teacher said yesterday that it's time for dd to get a full size. These kids keep growing! Renai's kids are growing too - it's like an epidemic! Mine aren't. Celery is still like 4'3". I mean, I guess a year ago he was 4'2", and the year before that about 4', but still... hardly epidemic-level growth there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I remember nagging about getting a bigger violin when I had a 3/4 size, and my teacher was like "uh, you realize that all those 6'4" tall guys play on a full size, yes?" (Dutch people (my family excluded) are tall, so, there are tons of 6'4" guys around in NL). Me: :( Realistically, good 7/8 size violins are harder to find than full size violins.

luuknam Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't think I mentioned that the other day Broccoli was playing outside, and came inside bringing me a bloody tooth, wanting me to help stop his mouth from bleeding. So, I try, and when I'm done, he's like, okay, now I need to go outside and find the other tooth. He lost two teeth at exactly the same time while playing outside. He did find it though. Oh, and he'd lost a 3rd one just a couple of days before (the one that had been loose for months). At the most recent checkup the dentist said that he'd loose 6 within 6 months, probably much sooner even, so, waiting to see if he'll lose 3 at once next time. (okay, in all fairness, I think he said that Celery hit him in the mouth that caused him to lose two at once, but still. He now looks like a reverse vampire, with holes instead of fangs) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I have been so sleepy all day. I woke up a little before 8 and was back in bed by 11. Slept through lunch. Woke up at 3, ate, and went back to bed. Woke up at 6, ate, stayed up a little and went back to bed. Got up a little while ago and I feel ready for bed again. Other than a bad headache this morning, I have felt fine all day. Just really, really wiped out. I hope this doesn't mean that I'm getting sick. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Bigger hands would be nice to have though. Not for violin so much - that's not that big a deal. But I've been messing around with Celery's guitar (a 3/4 size Córdoba Protégé), and that 6th string is really for decoration purposes only (well, or for just playing it as an open string), because it's too.far.away. Maybe I should take guitar lessons; that might help. Or not. For computer keyboards I prefer the smaller size ones as well. I played some songs on it today, and then I tried Greensleeves, for which I had to skip several pages in the book. Then I asked DW how badly I'd butchered the song I was playing. She was like, were you playing "What Child is This?". Me: ???. Okay, turns out that that song is set to Greensleeves, so, I didn't butcher it beyond recognition. Still... needs a lot of work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I barely managed to scrape up enough steps to meet my 23rd day of my step goal. Tonight I miscalculated when I needed to go work out before going to city council. But after I snuck out of the meeting I walked around and around in the city hall parking lot until my wrist band buzzed.
