Tiny Robot Has No Legs 

Yesterday I picked Carrie up from work and took her straight to her doctor's appointment. I walked from the doctor's office to the taco place where Nyki works to buy Carrie a juice. It turns out Carrie has a sinus infection, which is totally clear-up-able. After I dropped her off back at the house I went and filled her prescription.

I made potato & cheddar perogies with a gorgonzola potato sauce for din-dins. Then after I took Carrie back to teach at the store (even though she's sick) I drove up to Seattle to hang out with Sandy & Mathias and do a new crafts project.

A while back Sandy got this completely awexome Japanese book about making tiny felt plush things, and so we decided to get together and make tiny plush robots! It's a lot of work hand-stitching something, even if it is relatively tiny.

Here's what I made!


I think it's pretty frikkin' cute. We watched American Idol (which I'd never actually seen an entire episode before in my life) and that smarter than a 5-year-old show. That one was pretty funny, although some of the questions were legitimately difficult. Do you know the name of the constellation that contains the big dipper? I do. But I could see how that wouldn't be common knowledge. Do you know how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon? I don't. Unless you cook an awful lot that's probably not common knowledge. Do you know what element on the periodic table has the initials NA? I do, but I'm rather good at science.

The funny ones are when a woman was asked how many states touch the Pacific Ocean and she said, "Three."

Anyway, I didn't have time to make legs for my tiny robot, but I brought the li'l legless guy back home to show Carrie, who absolutely loved it.

so technically ursa major is not a constellation. it is an asterism. i was curious so i had to look that one up. and there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. i know that from my mommy. na is sodium. i had to get the right name, and i was sort of on track with the whole salt thing, so i wasn't totally right, but mostly. and this crazy lady, was she not counting hawaii and alaska as states? cause that makes 5. oh yes, and i adore the cute little robot with no legs.
