1. I have this urge to go back and tag all my old posts. At least the ones like this. I just don't think it is worth the time and I never keep up on stuff like that.

2. I had to cut all my nails off so I could do pottery. This is really sad to me even though I know they will grow back.

3. I am spring cleaning my house. I didn't think Eric would be home until Saturday so I have been piling all the stuff that I need to go through in the living room. He came home yesterday and while he wasn't upset that everything was a mess, I feel bad that everything in there is covered with my stuff.

4. I am pretty sure I have a buyer for the pool table. One of my mom's coworkers sounds interested in it and is willing to come and get it. I will be so happy when that is gone.

5. My hair is back to normal. I was so weirded out about the greasiness.

6. After I am done with spring cleaning and get rid of the pool table I am going to set up a place to strip woodwork with my beautiful paint stipper. I am thinking it will just take a couple weeks and I'll be able to do it while watching tv.

7. I am going to get an estimate for the work in my living room. I hate going into debt but I think it is time to just get it done. I'll feel so much better about that room. Plus the perfect time to do it is when Eric is gone because we can put all of his stuff in his room before he goes.

8. Yesterday I felt fat and like my clothes didn't fit. Then when I changed into my pajama's I realized I was wearing a stretch camisole under my sweater that was too tight and was the cause of that feeling.

9. Five weeks until Korea (Yes, I am going to count it down the whole way).

Are you going to blog it Leah-and-Mark style? I'm hoping so hard for that.

I was thinking about it since Flickr came up with videos at just the right time. I need to ask Eric if I can use his old laptop for it since I don't have one. Though I bet we could use Sun's. If all else fails we will be using my phone to post pictures.

That comment was very stream of consciousness.

You have to cut your nails for pottery? Well thais out for me then.

I have an old Powerbook that's unsellable. Works perfectly, its just old. You can borrow it if you want.

Well... my nails were really long and I am not used to them being long (I just stopped biting them about 6 months ago) so they would dig into the clay and mess up what I was doing. I am sure you could do it without cutting them if you knew what you were doing.

I might take you up on that if my brother ends up using his while I am gone. :D

I used to bite my nails like mad when I was younger. Then I took up the guitar. Now the ones I use are long, and the other ones are cut really short cause they get in the way. Or they're my left thumb and right pinky that really wouldn't mater, but I cut them short anyway. (:


Lemme know about the laptop so I can put OS X back on it. I was experimenting with different Linuxii, all of which work but all of which require manual hacking to get the wireless card going.

It's a fun laptop and I've travelled with it before -it's great cause it's so small. (:

What's a "paint stipper" and what makes a beautiful one?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

This is my infrared paint stripper aka "The Silent Paint Remover". My parents gave it to me, along with nice paint scrappers, as a combined birthday/christmas present last year. I have a ton of woodwork to refinish and I don't like using chemicals and I always endup burning the wood with my parents heating coil on a stick paint remover that they got in the 70s.

Interesting that you're counting down to go to Korea and I'm counting down to go to America! Be sure and go to Insa-dong in Seoul for the pottery. I think you should go to the Folk Village, too. I think you go to Suwon and get a bus from there. Your Korean friends will know. Have a good trip!

I know, it is funny to read your posts about leaving. It is too bad you are going before I'll get there. I would make you show us around too.

Thank you for your list of places to visit. I have printed it out and I am researching them. It is so nice to know some things to see. :)

1. I have this urge once a year. I think it has to do with spring, and my spring cleaning badly manifesting itself.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I don't get the need to spring clean, I am pretty organized through out the year but every spring I pull everything out and go through it and get rid of things I don't feel attached to anymore. Plus I reorganize boxes that I have reorganized a billion times.

I just know that is the way I would be with tags too.
