A good mix

The next time someone gives me a hard time about women going to the bathroom in packs, I'm citing this story.

I realized that I forgot to include myself on the "Shop Local" post. If you know anyone who'd like a knitting needle case, please let me know. I have plenty of stock at the moment. Straight cases with 17 slots (room for one of each size from 0 to 15) are $25. Circular needle cases have 15 slots, hold needles of various lengths and sizes, and are $35. The cases are made of durable upholstery fabric on the outside with a contrast cotton lining and tie.

One of our faculty members (firmly in the "awesome roxxor" category) gave me a Border's gift card for the holidays. Coupled with my $10.99 CD coupon, I made some fine purchases last night.

I got this
this
and
this.

I think the sales clerk who rung me up was highly amused.

""At least there was a toilet to use," he said. "The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar."

Sounds like our kinda guy.

Indeed.

As I look back on this year, my only regret is not drinking more. Perhaps More Booze should be my resolution for 2008. Especially now that I think red wine is safe again!!!

Huzzah for red wine.

My thoughts exactly, [livejournal.com profile] everflame!

Red wine is safe again?!! Bring it on! I've got a boxful at the house of some good cheap stuff.

\m/ >_< \m/

I'm taking it slow at first, but I had a cup of mulled wine at [livejournal.com profile] cedarsong and [livejournal.com profile] everflame's last week and didn't puke. So, yay!

I dunno about that one. I would like to think that my kinda guy would've had the sense to not try to get a bottle of liquid in his carry-on luggage.

True. It was more the "fuck you, I'll drink it right here" that I liked.

Don't get me started on the asinine TSA liquid regs. I can go on for hours about that one.

What do you mean? They're saving us all!!! Don't you understand? Are you a terrorist or something?

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)

Yep, I'm a something!
