Alone Time

If all goes well my guy will be visiting our kid up north for a week (I'm writing this post two days before he's scheduled to leave.) So right now I'm probably managing life on my own.

I encouraged him to go by himself. Someone needs to stay home, man the fort and look after the pets, and that's my specialty. When I was younger I travelled quite a bit through the Pacific Northwest, but he's never been there. I don't feel like travelling anymore. He and Kat both like to hike, be outdoors, etc. so they should have fun.

Meanwhile, I get to do pretty much whatever I want for a week. I can make the meals I like, which means lots of stir fry and meatless dinners. I can wear my pajamas all day if I want (I won't, but the luxury of being able to without getting weird looks is nice). I will also be able to write uninterrupted for a week.

As vacations go, this will be a nice one. I'm sure he'll have a good time, too. :)

I'm so jealous!! I know how much you miss Kat. But oh, the luxury of being able to not answer to anyone for awhile is just so...what a gift for a few days. Hubs never travels. I wish he would. I was always an 'alone' person and sometimes, the ache I feel to just be alone for a few days is so overwhelming. Enjoy your time and love on your puppers. And safe travels for your guy.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...
