You can tell I'm a Minnesotan...

msfledermaus...because I've been wrapped in a blanket on the couch, reading Neil Gaiman and eating ice cream after coming in from the cold.
Work was the usual too-busyness. I've been sneaking minutes here and there to make little origami toys out of 3X3 post-its--a more noble use for them than my badly scrawled reminders. Lately over and over people at my work are being told "Not to nest' and being discouraged from putting up pictures or postcards or anything like that. I think they won't be happy until everything is blank and white, like the rest of the building. But my tiny subversive menagerie is portable. I can hide my happy rebellions from unkind eyes or take them home. Take that. I fold paper in your general direction!!! "Your mutherrr was an "amsterr, and your fatherr smelled of Elderberries!"
I keep looking at home-ownership manuals and trying to plan ahead for a small house. Money is tight, the economy's spiraling downward like a winged pigeon, and I'm dreaming of houses to decorate. Feh. I'm crazy, yes indeedy I am.
I still haven't bought any knitting stuff. It's been too cold to enjoy shopping, so I've put it off until this weekend, when I will shop like a desperate woman because next week will be even colder than this one...and I need new leggings and all kinds of warming stuff. And maybe some books. and oatmeal soap. And rose-scented bubble bath...with glitter in it.
Which reminds me. I have a small project I want to try...you'll find out more if I'm successful. Iiii got a seeeecreeeet.....

Re: "nesting"
Date: 2003-01-17 05:32 am (UTC)this jerk even tries to tell me what colors of copy paper to order.
The irony is it's a non-prof that's world-reknown for innovative, groundbreaking creative work...sure, as long as you have a really big grant and probably come from another country:P
