So have you ever had a zit or ingrown hair in your nose and it hurts like hell but you can't do anything about it because it's really up in there and it's itchy and making your nose run and your eyes water and all you want to do is rip your nose off your face because at least you could get to it and make it stop?!!!

Yeah, me neither.

Ah, why do dogs sleep in doorways or walkways and then stand up when you try to step over them? I can kick Skippy in the butt, push him...nothing. The minute I try to step over, he's up like a flash. He just made me kick the leg of the couch and boy, oh boy, did it HURT! I hope I didn't break my pinky toe.

I'm watching season 2 of 24 while I'm going through stuff. Kimberly Bauer is an idiot. Getting into trouble once or twice I can understand. More than that? You're just stupid. I can totally understand the grieving for your mom part, but she was stupid before her mom died. It took me awhile to get into the second season because she kept turning me off.

So, I gave up looking through my stuff for my popcorn garland instructions and started searching my good old friend, the Internet. I came across this site and she had a picture of a garland she had made that looks darned close to the one I was making. The site said she modified a pattern on page 55 in the Dec 98/Jan 99 issue of Crafts magazine. Ah ha! That narrows down what to look for. I found my issue of that magazine and there on page 55 were indeed the instructions! Yay!!!!!

I scanned the instructions and will keep a copy on my hard drive so I don't lose them again!

While surfing some TT sites, I found a great link at a fellow Coloradoan's site for online Drawing lessons. I haven't taken the time I'd like to work on my drawing skills. I'm pretty darned good when I put my mind to it, but like any other skill, you lose it if you don't practice. I'll have to dig out my pencils/sketch pad and delve into this site.
