Anyone have room for a cat or 2? New homes needed immediately for DSH neutered black and white male, named Lookout and apricot Maine Coon longhair neutered female, front declawed, named Jellicle. Both well-behaved and affectionate, ok with dogs, other cats, kids.

Please spread the word.

Kittehs are in northern IL.

I got to sleep in this morning and just relax all day.  It was marvelous!  I ate junk food.  I watched Buffy on DVD.  I wore my jammies all day long.  I played online games.  I made pretty rainbow beads.  I petted the cats. 

I didn't have to do anything terribly productive or even leave the house.  Nice.

*sigh*

Now, I just have to tackle Monday...

Terra Flora Designs had her inaugural craft show today.  We did fairly well.  We didn't sell scads of jewelry as we had hoped (though hadn't really expected) but we did make enough money to cover the cost of the booth with a bit of profit and we also learned a number of valuable lessons...  


( Lessons behind the cut. ) 

Our next show is this upcoming weekend, October 17 in Bartlett, IL.  It runs from 9 to 4.  It's supposed to be a really big show.  Feel free to stop by and say "hi" if you're in the area.  Send me a message or give me a call for directions, etc.

 My sister, niece, and I will be selling our jewelry (as well as dice bags, knitted scarves, and soaps) at the Burbank Elementary School's second annual Craft Fair from 9 to 3.  If you happen to be in the area, feel free to stop by and say "hi!"

Get Directions

This is my first craft show.  Not really sure what to expect...  Wish me luck!  :D

I have finally mastered the "pretzel knot!"  I was having trouble keeping my hemp strands parallel though the knot and it was just turning out all kinds of funky-bad.  However, I have finally figured it out!  Whee!  *Happy Cat Dance*

I nabbed this off of Cunning Minx's twitter feed.  I'm going to have to check out this show sometime this week.  Thought y'all might be interested as well...

What do you think?

I nabbed this off of Facebook (so you can ignore all that bunk about "tagging"), but I thought it was pretty keen so I transferred it over here for y'all's meme-ing pleasure...

( My Life According to Elvis Costello )

I heard an interesting quote today in which human culture was referred to an "ongoing catastrophe."  (I have unfortunately forgotten the quote-writer's name but the quote is on the dust jacket for Richard Heinberg's Peak Everything.)

I understand where the writer is coming from - the destructive capabilities of modern technology, the harmful effects that human civilization has had on the global environment and localized ecosystems, and so on.  I realize that, while every organism utilizes resources within its immediate environment, the massive human population and the exhaustive methods through which we gather our resources sets the human animal apart from the rest of the Kingdom.  His message that we, as a species, have caused irreparable damage to the planet and to other species is not lost on me. 

However, culture is the means by which humans adapt to changing climates, landscapes, and any other environmental change.  Technology, from flint knives and Clovis projectile points to nanobots and vaccines, is how we have managed to survive and thrive in harsh climates like the Namib Desert or the Arctic Circle.  We are soft, fleshy, and amazingly weak creatures.  We require care-giving until a ridiculously old age compared to other animals.  You've all heard of the turtle eggs that are abandoned immediately after the mother lays them.  It's human society and human innovation that has allowed us to make it to where we are.  It is human culture that has created an environment which allows the writer life, let alone the capability of making such a statement. 

The more I travel, the more I read, the more I learn through Anthropology classes and through life in general; the more amazed I am by human potential.  We are an incredibly clever and persistent species.  I totally agree with the writer that these traits lead to unforeseen environmental problems.  But, I also believe that it is these same traits that will lead to a solution. 

At any rate, the guy made me think...

Meme stolen from samiitiger .

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

And if you want, five things that you associate with me. Feel free to say the same things, but I'll elaborate each subject only once!

From samiitiger :

Cats:
I live with six cats who are kind enough to let me share their home.  Ash is my baby.  We've been through a lot together.  There are days when I feel like I connect better with him than with most humans.  Imp and Misty are litter-mates.  Imp is the Princess of the bunch, though he is clumsy as fuck.  Misty is very mellow and really enjoys his kibble.  Lugh has a quiet meow, a loud purr, and is a decided cuddleslut.  Aradia is Lori's kitty through and through.  She only likes me when she's in heat.  (Not sure what that's about...)  Seven is the newest addition to the family.  She is 3 months old and enjoys eating paper products.  I try not to gush over my kitties but I love them to pieces.  I also identify as a house cat as my fursona. 

Bi the Weigh:
This is how Samii and I met - the now-defunct "Bi the Weigh" Meetup Group for Bisexual / Lesbian BBW's of Chicagoland.  Definitely had some fun experiences and met some amazing people including my best friends (and, in a way, even my sweetie) through the group.  Also met some Cougars and drama-queens.  All-in-all, I miss the group and the flirting and the excuse to go out and play.  (Love you, girls!  <3)

Studio 21:
Hee.  That was a fun Meetup.  samiitiger , dreamzinspired , and non-LJ-using Anj met up at Denny's for dinner.  Afterward, we realized we were right next to a porn shop.  Being the twisted individuals that we are, we decided we had to check it out.  Great place!  I really recommend it!  Lots of toys, videos, props, leather, novelties, etc.  And they carry plus-size lingerie, which Michele and I were happy to model.  The woman running the shop didn't seem terribly amused when we tried out the love-swing though...

Adventurous:
I'm willing to try anything twice.  More than willing, really.  'Nuff said.

Free Love:
I'm bi / pansexual.  I'm poly.  I'm flirtatious.  I'm loving.  I enjoy being naked.  I like to play.  I feel that whatever happens amongst consenting adults is up to them.  I think this is what she means by "free love."  I guess I'm somewhat of a hippie kind-of-gal too.  :)~
