Poem for today
Crunch of frozen ground,
Frost-limned grass snap
Under trudging feet.
Monday workward bound,
Half-moon rising
Shares the sky
With the dawning sun.
Wintry air bites
At open skin
Nipping me awake.


Gaming most of the weekend. We did the next 2 parts of Greyhawk Ruins on Saturday. Then we took Diana out to supper for her birthday. The t-shirt was too small so I'm going to have to return it & order a size larger. Sunday it was Rosemary's home game. We had a short fight & Mike's character really pissed mine off. Note: Mike did not piss me off. Amber is mad at Dratsab.

tatting: I finally started Jane's Tat It & See. I got through Day 7. I don't think that it's an elephant because she's already done one, but it's distinctly elephant-shaped at this point.

I took a load of books to the Used Book Store. I picked up 4 with the store credit plus I bought Season 1 of Lois & Clark (since I didn't get it for Christmas). Now I need to get rid of the books that they didn't buy.

My copy of Witch Hunter still hasn't arrived. It looks like it won't ship until the company puts out their next product, which is supposed to be sometime this month.

books: I finished Accidental Vampire, read The River Knows and re-read Wait Until Midnight. The latter 2 are from the Used Bookstore.

I did a few more rows of the ribbon yard lattice scarf. It's starting to look like something. I'm still not 100% certain it's like a scarf.

clothes: t-shirts, jeans, tennis shoes & sweatshirts this weekend. Today it's white turtleneck, new dark red corduroy vest, black jeans, black suede shoes, black tatted earrings (the ones that I made), black stone ring, hematite ring, & black plastic bangle bracelet.

Gaming: Mutants & Masterminds: Rosemary's character, Lady Celtic, met her predecessor's son (who's old enough to be the current Lady Celtic's father or perhaps grandfather but only looks old enough to be her older brother). That was...mildly awkward. He's wondering how much of his mother's memory she has & she doesn't want to blurt out 'all of them'. I managed to out-crude the entire table with just one remark (regarding the likelihood of Lady Celtic having an affair with her previous self's son). We did some investigation & research stuff, no combat. We didn't have enough time.

Rosemary & Chris were late & then David showed off the scrapbook his Weightwatcher person made for him. David made his lifetime goal, so he's less than half the man he used to be (from >400, to <200). style="font-style: italic;">

books: finished re-reading Lost & Found and Terrier. Read Accidental Vampire. Lynsay Sands's series is pretty funny. It's book 7 in the Argeneau series. The next one is due out next month, I think.

Wrote to all my relatives. Just need to get the envelopes ready to mail. Ran into Barb (fellow gamer, plays Katherine in Witch Hunt) at lunch. I didn't know that she worked on campus.

clothes: the same (appearance-wise) yesterday & today on the black jeans, black belt, black shoes, hematite band, and braided hair. Differences: black turtleneck & black shirt, circle jewelry (silver band with circles, 3 silver gradated hoops hanging from a French wire, round quartz pebble pendants & round silver Celtic knot & moonstone pendant) & red elastic on the hair vs. black shirt & purple sweater, amethyst ring & pendant, purple Czech bead earrings, silver twist ~rope band, & purple elastic on hair.
