Remmington Steele Episodes & Good Friends

*Sigh* Three more episodes in the last two days, this is getting old. Really old. Buuut on the other hand, I had a great time yesterday. After work, which was for the most part spent with Artchick (yeah she and I work together at times, pretty cool) Artchick and I headed over to Tolkien's because Artchick needed to take some motion shots for her photography class. Tolkien's little brother Aerrer was a big help, he and his friend ran around in circles, jumped rope, boxed, played the guitar(s) and spun around in circles until they were sick. She got several nice shots out of that series (she showed me the proof sheet) and then she dashed to the darkroom and Tolkien and I zipped out to a Bertuchi's(tm) for dinner. She had healthy pizza and I had just plain pizza. We poked around Borders(tm) for a while, just enjoying being around books. There were several journals that we looked at that we really liked, but they were Coptic stitched and Tolkien knows how to do coptic stitch for journal binding so we suffered the fate of the curse of all crafter's. We didn't buy the journals because we can *make* the journals. We had fun away. And then we continued on to JoAnne's(tm) and poked around some more. She picked up some fabric for an awesome corset that she's making to wear at the Ren Fest this year. It's perfect for her, it's linen look and jet black with these tiny little flowers in a soft pink worked over it in this climbing vine motif, and she got some shirts to make Aerrer t-shirts for this summer. I'm suppose to be making one for Dad this year for Father's Day with I reject your reality and substitute my own quote from Adam Savage of Myth busters(tm) fame to be painted on the front of the shirt which he says he'd really like for the days he has to mow the lawn. I told him I'd be happy to mow the lawn for him, but he says that the rider's a handful because it's older and that if I want to be helpful I can to the trim work. Go me with the trim work. That'll be in addition to the weeding I do now, and the ''pick up sticks'' that I've taken on as well. But that's okay, I like being outside and working in the earth, though we have to be careful right now because of the ants that are invading. I think that it's part of the reason that when I write ''healer'' characters they have herbariums and like to putter about in the earth. Well that's a rambling entry. I must be feeling better if I'm rambling. I'll end then on a high note.
