Laithean~
- I set out a center piece on our kitchen table to make sure they didn't look stupid, and put out a few of the clear diamond crystal beads I will be using to see how they looked, took some pics, everything looks nice, yay! This morning I needed to clean up the stuff and make sure it's all packed for the reception hall. Took out the little vial for the beads and opened it, swept most of the beads off and got them in the vial, and then there were a few that were tucked under the center piece (It's a book) so I grabbed the book completely forgetting I had an open vial in my hand....My kitchen table and floor are now covered in clear beads. I will be finding these little bastards for weeks!
- I had to get my last name changed on my license, and when I had to sign for it I totally signed the first time with my maiden name. I looked at the lady and said, "Crap! I can't sign it like that!" She laughed and told me to try it again.
Narysse~ I just had to use Brown Healing in the most unlikely of places, and all because of a Brown Out. I had a bunch of my yarn and sewing stuff stashed in the trailer because of company last month. I keep forgetting to bring the stuff back in.
This afternoon I needed some hooks and eyes for a blouse I'm making, so I went out there and started rummaging through my sewing cabinet (one of those clear plastic bin tier thingies) for them, and some coordinating thread and needles. I shut the top drawer and started trying to find the thread in the second drawer when I saw something moving in the top drawer. At first I thought there was a snake in my sewing cabinet!
Nope. It was a family of field mice.
Luckily there was a stash of encyclopedias out there, too. I grabbed the thickest one, quickly got the top off the drawers, and started smacking that cabinet with the encyclopedia trying to get the mice out.
2 escaped to freedom. 2 were left buried amongst the yarn and pillow parts I had been trying to do for a crochet class.
Finally I managed to get the mice out. Imagine me trying to pick out the yarn and such still left in there without getting bitten by a mouse, and meanwhile whacking the cabinet with the encyclopedia. By the way, everything in that top drawer is trash now, though, since the mice were nesting in it.
Now to get the cabinet back in the house without also bringing mice in..........
