* The cleaning continues a-pace.

Took a break earlier this evening, went shopping. Found a pair of suede ankle boots at Target that will be PERFECT for next weekend; also a pair that would have been so nice to have a few years back when I was doing the Cowboy Thing (*I *still* can't seem to quit you, BBM!)-- Bought the suede, lusted after the Ennis boots.....

I need to find pants. When I was in grade school we called them 'snow pants'; in the eighties, they came into fashion as stretch or stirrup slacks. Nowadays, I think the term used is 'leggings'. I need a pair. I'd order from Pyramid, but they wouldn't get here in time for TARDIS Con.....

As I privately predicted, the grand costuming plans came to naught, but I shall make do.

If only there were some way to insert a knitted section into a nearly finished item without having to unravel half of said item -- It really would look so much more balanced with an extra red panel in the middle. Sigh. *Head Desks*

There's kinda a cute story behind my lj log-in. I have a variety of Media Fan interests, which include both StarGate:SG1 and Yu-Gi-Oh! Over on the ff.net site I've been posting stories and reviews as MotherCHOWGoddess (and there's yet another story behind THAT!) Anyway, I made the mistake of letting the sunshine of my dreary existence (aka My Daughter) see a reply someone sent me in which the poor unsuspecting reviewer left the "H" out of CHOW.....

Daughter, being the intelligent brat she is, started teasing me by calling me 'Hathor'!

So, since I'm something of a continuity detail obsessive (blame the years I spent working in radio) in that I prefer my on-line aliases to have SOME common denominator.... voila! not-Hathor.

(are you bored yet? I hear snoring..... guess I'll save the story of the 1999 Highlander Cruise and the furbys for some other time)

Later!
