Amanda Takes Off...

Good Man is INTJ. Good Man I am INTP. I like to start projects. Good Man likes to finish project. (This explains the state of our desks. My desk is covered in embroidery floss cards, Korean books, and various notes to myself. Good Man's desk has stacks of finished papers on it.)

The living room is currently in Amanda State. Who am I kidding? It's always in Amanda State. I have multiple sewing projects going on in different stages. I finished a purple dress done with microsuede, but it has some deep wrinkles in it that need to be vinegar steamed out. I haven't done it yet. I've got 16 panels cut out for a gored skirt, but I haven't staystitched the waists yet. I have a pair of silk pants from Thailand I want to copy and resize, waiting to be traced. A bag of scrap fabric is waiting to be turned into...what, I don't know.

I told Good Man we needed to clean the living room and he said, "We? Tell me what in here is mine."

I looked around. "Dammit."

Good Man grinned and patted me on the shoulder. "It is never my mess. It is always your mess."

Spring break is far too late this year.

Note: You should always have one clean dress shirt hanging in your closet. Key word being clean.

Last week at league I scored a new personal best of 148 (my non-league best is 167). I also went over my average series, bringing my average up by one pin (I think). I beat Good Man's series by 15 pins or so. It's funny how he's competitive when he's beating me, but when I beat him, he's suddenly in it "for the teamwork."

I bowled again on Saturday and Sunday. Each day I ended up with one game in the 140s, one in the 110s, and one sub-100 game. Well, I am nothing if not consistently inconsistent.

My grad class ended last night. Thank God. The class got lengthened (tacked on a week) while the due date for assignments got shorted (due a week earlier than originally due) which made me Very Unhappy. Still, the class was worthwhile, and when I get my grade, I should be eligible to actually teach my students by the county's endorsement. The state endorsement will take one additional class to obtain. I'm looking forward to the break from my classes.

A Waterlogged Worm

Spring is here, I suppose.

I've been around, but I've had Japan on my mind too much to bother rambling on about sewing, planting, and counting down the days until my grad class is over.
