Raptor 3 It was there again this morning (but yesterday evening when I got home). I really need to get out of the house early enough to use my telephoto lens to get a better look at it.
Big Jake We watched this last night (& I stayed up late to see the end). It's a good movie with some great quotes. The actor who played Sam Sharpnose is the same guy who saved Faye Wray in King Kong. I also played some computer games & entered some books at Librarything (see 'my bookshelf') on the links to the right).
Books I finished Sleeping with the Fishes at lunch yesterday. I sort of started Bloodsucking Fiends this morning before reverting to Nothing to Fear But Ferrets.
Clothes Black slacks (w/ leggings underneath - it's coooold this morning), socks, & loafers, with a dark green turtleneck & ~patchwork black/tan/cream vest with Chinese coin toggle/buttons (vest is reversible). My jewelry is my green amber set along with the ~rope band ring & the fem figure ring. I've alternated between braiding my hair (w/ a bright green elastic) & letting it hang loose. Either way, I have two small dark grey hair clips trying to keep the 'used to be bangs but now growing out' strands out of my face.

Can I go to sleep now? I don't know what it is. I've had two cups of tea (hot, flavored, black, sweetened with splenda), about 6 glasses of water and I'm still so sleepy I can't stand it.
Raptor sighting As I came out the door this morning, I happened to look up & see a raptor in the the tree across the street. I can't be any more specific than that because I couldn't get a good look. It has a pale chest & dark wings. That only eliminates turkey vultures & black vultures. I guessed that it might be redtail hawk but my neighbor thought it might be an immature bald or golden eagle.
booksI've read
Punch! vol 1 & I'm in the middle of vol 2. I've read
Hana Kimi up through vol 15. I'm still reading
The Little Lady Agency and
Nothing to Fear but Ferrets.
clothes It's colder today, so I'm wearing a cream turtleneck with a crocheted burgundy vest (open work), black jeans, black socks (heavier than yesterday's), black loafers, ~rope band, fem-power ring, black bead & ~silver ~chandelier earrings, onyx pendant on large, longer silver rope chain. My hair is loose (I finally brushed it).

Nebraska Ice Storm: This guy has photos that just have to be seen to be believed. We get ice storms around here, but not like that! The multitude of trees helps to prevent that.
knitting: I now have over 3 feet of scarf made. The ball of yarn is perceptibly smaller. I've been tucking it into the middle of the loom; I have to be careful doing that now, lest it fall into the scarf.
tatting: I found my picot gauge. Tatting can re-commence. Once I've joined the new thread in...again. Once again the variegated red thread broke.
stuff: The power cord that I left at James' & Liz's arrived yesterday. Thank goodness. My laptop battery only has a few hours of life in it.
I was only able to meet Carry briefly yesterday (just after the building closed). I didn't even get to show her my scarf (but I showed my neighbor Nancy this morning, on the way to the bus stop). She had a dvd for me & her SO's old palm. I haven't gotten it started yet but maybe I can do that this weekend.
books Betsy the Vampire Queen arrived the other day, but since it's hardback, I'm only reading it at home. I'm also reading
The Devil's Bride,
Nothing to Fear but Ferrets & I just finished
Star Soldiers at lunch. I'm having a hard time sticking to one book, does it show? Plus I've got Sherrilan Kenyon's latest started.
clothes: I really need to do laundry. Part of the reason (plus the weather) I'm wearing a denim jumper over a blue & white striped shirt, with short sleeves, yet. In January! I'm not even wearing boots, I'm wearing white tennis shoes (w/ navy socks). Turns out that they opened the road early, Monday I'll resume wearing loafers & other office appropriate footwear to work. No more extra 10 minute walks before & after work.
