Reading Texas Gothic, by Rosemary Clement-Moore.  Cute little witches-r-us story set in Texas.  It's holding my interest.

I just finished Blood and Feathers, by Lou Morgan (I think; I must start writing these down) which is an urban fantasy angels vs. devils thing,  I couldn't put that one down.  Also just finished Leighton Gage's Blood of the Wicked, which was really good in spite of the violence.  (I was squicked out, but soldiered on. It was worth it.)  I'll pick up the next Mario Silva novel when time permits.  I'd also like to read Lou Morgan's next book, but I don't think she's written a second one yet.

I've come down with the creeping crud; I'm not sure if it's a summer cold or simply allergies. Nose running, sore throat, coughing, low grade temperature for a day, coud be either. Bleah.  At least I'll be down to just sniffles by Wednesday when we leave for Worldcon. Squee!!  I can't wait!!

Today: A day of sewing in anticipation of the trip to Chattanooga tomorrow for Tourney of the Foxes, an SCA event.  A bath for the dog.  Grocery shopping. Laundry.  Trash run.  I tell you, the excitement never stops!

And did I mention I'm going to Worldcon next week?  Squee!

I've got a Cthullu cap on the needles, a length of red-green-white 8 strand kaku yattsu gumi from Catharine Martin's book on the kumihimo plate, and a three yard alpaca-silk warp to measure off.  I need to be independently wealthy.  I just need to be.  I can't retire, of course, I won't have the money to do any of this.  Still working on winning the lottery.  Does anyone know a rich guy looking for a fat fifty something former redhead to sweep off her feet? (No, not really, old, crotchety, set in my ways.)

Worldcon!!  Squeee!!!

Reading The Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman.  So far, it's holding my interest.  There are moments when I think it drags, but that's me.

Out sick yesterday with a migraine, and I spent the day in bed asleep, loaded down with zomig and phenergan. Better living through chemicals. I'm okay today.

Couldn't get home to Mom last weekend, I ran out of money before I ran out of pay period.  And the price of gas is going back up.  It's back to the bus for me!  Maybe I'll lose a lttle weight walking into town to the bus depot.  At least I can read on the bus.  And I can't afford to go home this weekend, so there.

Still planning to go to World Con at the end of the month, and really looking forward to it.

Reading A Cast Off Coven, by Juliet Blackwell, a cute little paranormal murder mystery. If she continues to write the series, I'll continue to read it.

Lazy Friday, running around doing the shoppng, and getting a little cooking for the rest of the week done.  I've done a simple roasted lemon chicken, and I have a chuck roast in the crock pot. 

We go tomorrow to buy a new microwave. Thrills and chills in Nashville!  I'm not sure I can handle the suspense!

Getting my ducks in a row for World Con at the end of the month.  I'm looking forward to it.  I won't have any costumes sewn up for it, though, I just don't have time. 

Planning on doing my laundry tomorrow, washing both clothes and some fabric I picked up to make garb with.  I'm going to Tourney of the Foxes at the end of the month in Byzantine. I have to go by the Sally's Beauty Supply place tomorrow to pick up fake hair to fill out my hairdo. *sigh*  Maybe I should go to World Con as Empress Irene.  I also have to do some research on Byzantine collars, to see what I can gin up. 

I've still got to get over to Barry's to finish the tapestry comb I started last week.  And I have to give Sharon the loom I made.  And make one for Grace.  Busy, busy.  It never ends.  I don't have time to weave myself. I'm on a reading kick anyway.  Off to read...
