  • C'est la vie I reached into the refrigerator and grabbed the salsa for my quesadilla, and gave the jug (we go through so much salsa, I buy it in half-gallon jugs) a good shake. To my dismay, the lid was not on tightly…
  • Pleats (Note: If you don't sew, you may want to skip this blog.) I have been working on the overskirt for my ren costume, and am very pleased with myself. The other skirts I have made have all had drawstring waistlin…
  • Nightmare I generally do not have nightmares. I used to, the way many people who dream have them, with cliffs to fall from and airports to be naked in, and monsters and trapdoors and all the usual accoutrements. I us…

  • Prayer, part 2 (who knew?) I would like to clarify my position in my previous post. I do not think it is bad to pray for good things, especially if they are for other people. I sure God takes prayers into account wh…
