jennythereaderBody: This is definitely a cold. I'm drinking orange juice and hoping I'll at least be past the contagious stage by the weekend.
Reading: I'm still reading The Kalevala: Or Poems of the Kaleva District
. One thing that has really struck me is how often a girl agrees to marry, and then just loses it at the idea of leaving her home and family. Not homesickness exactly, but the anticipation of homesickness leading to extreme depression and in the case of one character suicide.
Hearing: Dan Carlin's show Hardcore History (which my job blocks direct access to).
Etsy find: Hummingbird In Flight Necklace
Project Follow-up: Stops made and stuff acquired. I got a few things made, and discovered that my outfit doesn't quite work the way I had hoped. I think it's all fixable though.
Tonight's Project: Hitting the mall for a haircut, and looking for some bracelets. Then dinner w/friends, and hopefully more work on my outfit between dinner and bed.
Randomness: What's your favorite type of pickle? Personally, I like sweet and bread & butter pickles better than dill. The world's best pickles though, are the ones my great-grandmother used to make. Gramma Georgine never told anybody the recipe, but recently Mom found a recipe that she thinks will make something like them. Basically, you start with store bought dill pickles, and replace part of the liquid with a sugar syrup.
