I went to Paper Zone in the morning to print out the invitations I worked up for Babe Lehrer's book signing. Paper Zone doesn't open until 11:00, and I got there about 15 minutes early, so I went next door to Target and wandered around for a bit. They have really, really cool dressy clothes at Target right now. That whole Merona line or whatever it's called. It's very tempting, but I have better stuff than clothes to spend money on (I know a couple of women who would kill me for saying that), like food and shelter.
Between about 5:00 and 6:00 I worked on Chris Fantz's site, which is now almost done and is pretty cool-looking, if I may brag. Carrie then went into the store with Nyki to do that cleaning thing that has to be done every weekend (but not by Carrie every weekend; there's a rotating schedule where eventually every Bead Babe ends up cleaning one weekend).
While she was gone I re-worked my links page, putting something called a "blogroll" into the right-hand column to make it easier for me to visit people's blogs. If I know you, and you have a blog, and you're not in that list, let me know. Unless you have a MySpace blog, because those don't actually have real-world URLs to which I can link.
Carrie called me around 8:00 to say that Nyki was coming back home with her and to put pizzas in the oven. So I cooked up a couple of Trader Joe's pizzas, and Nyki came over. We all watched Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi
, because it turns out that Carrie & Nyki share almost exactly the same tastes in entertainment. "It's like we're the same, but different," said Carrie. Oh, and some people who haven't seen me yet were wondering what I looked like with only the goatee, so I took this photo of myself (I'm looking kind of puffy for some reason):
You're a Handsome Devil... What's Your Name?As you can see, my cheeks and neck are already stubbling up, and this photo was taken only about 30 hours after the shave. I'll have the full beard back by this weekend no doubt, no worries.
Oh, and when I went to bed I was really itchy for some reason. My left elbow especially. When I rolled up my sleeve I noticed that something had bit me. How did I know? Because there was a raised white bump of skin about the size of a penny. And several smaller white bumps around it. How's that for allergies!
