Interim performance review today. Whee
Website: online shopping site,
peruse.combooks: Kiss of a Highlander by . I think I started to read it once but didn't finish. I finally did. Pretty good book. I think I'm going to try & find the ~sequel. Read vol 13 of Rurouni Kenshin. Good story. Kept reading Time Traders.
New people: at lunch met/talked with Kim, who works in the old library on campus. Beautiful building, great collections. I'd like to talk to her again.
clothes: green/black Harrington polo, black jeans & tennis shoes, green amber jewelry, black socks. ~rope band, sometimes braided, sometimes loose hair.
Labels: Kiss of the Highlander, Rurouni Kenshin
Tatting Update: I finished my display this morning. Did I get a picture of it? Not with dead bagtteries. I'm charging them now & I hope they have enough charge to take the picture by the time I leave.
Today's clothes: black jeans, sneakers & socks; grey "Against the Giants: The Liberation of Geoff" t-shirt; silver harp pendant; Celtic knot earrings & ring, flower band ring; & rope band.
I'm off to get my entry in & to play
Forgotten Realms at Rosemary's.
Update on the Update: Okay, so I stop at the usual building to turn in my entry & based on my statement, they sent me down the Hobbies & Handicrafts building (near the Holshauser building). I arrived
there, and they looked at my entry & thought it should go back to the main building (Household entries), but decided to call up there to figure it out instead of sending me back & forth. It turns out, if I had
one item, it would be in the Y category (under tatting), however since I made a set it has to go into the EE100 jewelry category. That took over 20 minutes.
Then we stopped by
Foundation's Edge to pick up our comics, & Chris picked up his
Star Wars miniatures. They're having their fall sale so I picked up the
Rurouni Kenshin that I'm missing (13-19) plus a 5 manga series & a 3-manga series. I spent just a leeetle bit o'money.

Woohoo! First really cool day since May. It really feels like autumn approaches now.
Tatting Projects
I finished the cross for the family reunion door prize (I'd like to know where the button to upload photos disappeared to). I've resumed work on a UFO, the button bag from Palmetto Tat Days. I've emailed Karey with a question so it's stalled again. In the meantime, I'm using the thread left on the shuttles to do a burgundy cross, one of Mary Konior's this time. Problem: I tried to make an alteration in the pattern to reduce ends & screwed it up. So I'll be cutting some off & then resuming tatting.
I finished & mailed the two bookmarks for the bookmark exchange. Wally should get hers by Monday (I think) but I'm not certain when Lynn will get hers. Wally's in Puerto Rico & Lynn is in Hong Kong.
Today's Outfit: burgundy, sleeveless, v-neck t-shirt (neck edged in double row of single seed beads); burgundy crocheted, long-sleeved sweater; black slacks; black, flat shoes (the cloth ones with sequins & beads); black tatted earrings & necklace, with beads; black & red stone rings & hair in a ponytail, mostly for the sake of not getting it caught in my messenger bag strap.
Books: I read Gunpowder Green yesterday. It's part of tea-themed mystery series set in Charleston, SC. I also read volume 8 of Rurouni Kenshin. Today, I'll read volume 9.
