I wish I could combine all my f-pages...

...I keep forgetting about reading some of them. Too many accounts! Anyway. Not a full accounting, but what I've been up to:

FarmVille. A lot of FarmVille and other Facebook games. I'm also in the process of creating cross-stitch patterns of the FarmVille animals. It's slow going, and I kinda think maybe I should actually make one before I do them all, to see if I'm even doing a good job, but I have too many other things to do right now. So, that will have to wait.

Cleaning. Will be having visitors in a few days, have to make the house slightly presentable. Good news: Christmas tree is down, Mt. Saint Pile of Clean Laundry is (mostly) put away, living room is clean, kitchen is mostly clean. Bad news: I still have to cook in the next few days, so kitchen status will change, and that leaves 10 more rooms to go... Right now I'm cleaning my desk, and finding bits of paper I've scribbled things on. Expect lots of silly updates as I type them in... Starting now: The economy of underwear, or, how Hanes
Hates Fat Women. Men's underwear: $5 for 8. Women's underwear: $5.50 for 6. Plus-sized women's underwear: $9.50 for five. Okay, one, men's underwear is harder to make, requiring more stitching. And two, the regular and plus size were both size 10 - so the 'extra fabric' argument doesn't cut it. What gives?

Knitting. Hip scarves for a belly dance show. I made one for my instructor, and she loved it, and said if I made some she'd sell them at the show. Normally I wouldn't agree to it (oh my god the fringe, I hate doing fringe!) but this is a way to use up 7 skeins or yarn I have nothing else planned for, so that's good. Sadly, I made her a teal one, then a pink one, then I made a teal one for her friend who let me crash her class... so I'm down to two skeins of blue and five of white. And, unfortunately, they don't seem to make that yarn anymore. Ah well. I was also going to try crocheting a Solomon's knot shawl. Maybe beaded. But that would have fringe, too.

Reading. I'm reading about 3 series right now, and I want to totally pimp out one of them, but I have to find the time (ha!) to write it up properly. The short version is: read the Enola Holmes series by Nancy Springer. Gushing version to come later.

Off to tackle the huge pile of paperwork. Have a lovely Sunday, all!

Ah, I know how that goes. Try it on dial up. That's the main reason I don't have another account yet.

Good luck with it all.

Oh, and women's underwear is insane. It's so unfair.

I always think of you when I post pictures, actually. I don't ever ever ever want to go back to dial-up!

I'm so unmotivated, I just am not getting much done. :/

Lol. You, at least, lj cut your pictures. Sometimes loading my flist is hard because someone isn't so thoughtful. Thus, I usually look at your pics and spurn other people.

multiple Facebook accounts?

I thought each person was only allowed one Facebook account?

I was referring to my Dreamwidth and InsaneJournal accounts, which I automatically cross-post to (actually, I cross-post to IJ and LJ from DW, since LJ doesn't have that function). And most people I know cross-post, but not everyone, and not everything.

I just finished that first Enola Holmes book. I thought it started off a little slow, but overall I found it an enjoyable read :)
