Just a Reminder

Not like I think anyone is dying to know this or anything, but I thought I'd mention that on days when I don't get a chance to do an actual blog post--on days when I keep thinking, "Just as soon as I finish this and get that over there done, then I get to do it"--on those days, if you need to be entertained (I try, not that I'm always successful--but I do make myself laugh out loud, which I guess is really pathetic if you think about it: I tweet and make myself laugh out loud, which then sounds just like I said, "I fart and make myself laugh out loud," which kind of shows you, in a nutshell, exactly what I'm talking about).

Where was I? Oh! The tweets are over there on the right, in real time (as least I think they're in real time). I can do those from the iPhone (Skippy), and so can do that when I don't have a chance to sit down here in the Voodoo Cafe and be more sociable.

Today I'm ironing 133 ribbons (you may be able to see the photo over there in the tweets--an iPhone photo I don't have here on the computer, although I'm sure I could email it to myself--OK, fine, let me go do that)~~

{yay--finally got it to work!}

Oh, great: it says all accounts are offline, which is a crock, but it's pissy about something. So never mind the photo of the 133 ribbons I'm ironing--the ones you saw Friday for the green cape. I got the cape marked and the ribbons cut, and now I'm ironing them. And then I'm working on a leather jacket I bought yesterday and tossed into the laundry and, by all appearances, ruined. I'm deciding that it's only suede that is completely launderable. I'm not having the same luck with leather, and it bums me out. I've successfully done it in the past, and The EGE has a coat with leather trim that says to wash and dry it (and it launders beautifully), but I've ruined a couple things now and am really bummed about this jacket. So I've got to try to salvage it later today.

Then in a little while we're off to Goodwill to see what's there. Half off clothes on Sunday. I need nothing at all, but I can't resist, not when I know there's fabulous stuff there and it's $2, and much of it will be bundled and sold as rags if it stays too long.

And

Yay! I got the photo to work! Hooray--emailed it from the iPhone, copied and pasted and bypassed iPhoto, which is groovy but time-consuming with the opening-and-exporting.

OK--now that I've rambled and lost myself, back to ironing. 133--yes, that's One Hundred Thirty-Three--of these babies, filled with static and so very clingy, like a room full of sticky, irritable children.
