I got BIZZ-ZAY! no…not THAT kind. that was earlier today. In the shower. But Friday I got industriously biz-zay.

Remember that chair from my grandparents house that I brought back with me a while back? I FINALLY got around to the reupholstering. I think you’ll agree that the blue looks MUCH better than those nasty orange velour stripes.

All I can say is…thank GOD for my staple gun! Awesome! Everyone needs one! Made the job go so fast! Just…don’t tell my father. He wanted me to do it the way HE learned…using furniture tacks. Ugh. I’d still be hammering those suckers in.The tricky part was sewing the cover for the back pad. I tried using the old fabric as a pattern…but it ended up being too small. wtf??? So I used the pad itself as a guide, traced it onto newspaper, pinned THAT directly to the fabric, and sewed it up (yes Aimee, I successfully used my sewing machine WITHOUT calling you in a panic!). That time it worked! I can use the too small one for…a pillow? I have extra cotton batting left.It’s so comfy now, definately my new knitting nook. And to make it COMPLETE…

Today at the Scandinavian festival (oh yeah we went!) I bought this handmade woven basket. It’s going to hold all my current projects. YOU. ARE. JEALOUS! The woman who sold it to me told me her whole family makes them. She was African American, so I asked her which Scandinavian country she was from. Yeah..I was apparently the 3rd person to make that joke. At least she laughed!More pics from the festival at my flickr site. Click on Kev lusting after viking weaponry to see them all!

I told him…absolutely not!!!

frrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiday!

dude, I'm trying to sleep, here!

fun with data!

The two isolates that were behaving themselves last week are now acting totally screwy. The isolates that are acting not so screwy, give me the exact opposite results that I got last week.

Nothing I do is ever straightforward. Why the hell did I go into science???

Blogger bitching

Is anyone else having trouble saving posts as drafts? Thank god “recover post” is working.

upgrade my flower, biotech!

So at my curves, there is a wall of laminated paper “flowers.” everyone has a flower with their name on it. What kind of flower you get depends on how far along you are. Previously, I was in the 10-25 points group, which is a pink tulip. The step above that is an orange…daisy-esque flower (the kind of flower an 8 year old girl draws). So imagine my disappointment when I walk in and see my name and “17.5″ on the same crappy pink tulip it was on last week! FUCKERS! 36.5, BEEEEEOOOTCH!

So yeah, I made them change it. At least they were apologetic about it.

The positive flower re-enforcements will be sparce from now on, though. The next step up is at 50 points - a reddish-purple rose. And then at 100, you get a white lilly. There’s only a few purple roses, and even fewer lillies.

But dammit…I WANTED MY FLOWER! SO ALL MAY SEE AND BE AMAZED!

My life is so small…

Kev labeled me - I’m his property now. Guess where? heehee!

I would like to assure my male readers that my breasts are MORE than capable of losing a few inches and still being quite boobaliscious. I could stand to lose a few more in that region. Maybe then I could buy normal bras in normal stores. And not the industrial stregth, underwired boob-slings I currently wear.Speaking of…I somehow miss the fact that I passed 40,000 recently. Whoops! You’ll have to wait for 50,000 to get the nekkid pics. Sorry! I don’t make the rules!

Oh…wait…YES I DO! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

Where was I?

I am attempting to write. I am entering the fiiiinal stretch of my grad carreer. THANK FUCKING GOD! So my presence in blogville will be sketchy. I’ll still post, and I’ll still be around…but my commenting will be (and truthfully already has been) limited.This is a good thing, believe me.

Ummmm…what else. Rented Garden State. It was…weird! But I like Zach Braf. When is Scrubs coming back, dammit?ps: blogger spell check wanted to replace “boobaliscious” with “publicist.” hmmmmmm….

I had my weigh in today. So since I started in June:

bust: -3 inches
waist: -1 inch
abdomen: -6 inches
hips: -3.5 inches
thighs: -13 inches (that’s total for both thighs)
arms: -4 inches (ditto that)
total weight lost: 6lbs (4.2 lbs of that this past month)
My total “score,” inches + lbs: 36.5

I think I’m finally at the point where I start losing more than just inches. pounds are coming off. They’ve told me the first few months you’re building muscle, so even though you’re not losing weight, you’re losing fat and gaining muscle. A lot of people get discouraged at this, apparently.

w00t!

also, pics of the rearranged, somewhat reorganized, and definitely clean sun room are up at flickr. Clicky on the pic below!

Pimp my sedan

As I waited at a red light on my commute home yesterday, I noticed a white Mitsubishi sedan next to me that had those spinning hubcaps (or “dubs,” as I believe the kids call them these days). Seemed like a silly thing to have on a boring Mitsubishi, and I figured it was some kid who’s parents bought him a sensible car.

Nope. Middle aged asian woman, with equally middle aged caucasian friend passenger.

Awesome. When I hit 40, I’m getting spinners. For the minivan I’ll probably be driving.
