Today The Boy and I went to help Little Jeff make batten extensions; lengthening the pipes for the stage curtains. The flies (the pipes the curtains hang from) are hollow, and you can fit another length of pipe inside them to make the pipe longer if you need them. If you don't need them, they fit back inside the pipe.
They've been working on this project all semester and only have about six more hours of work before it's finished.
As far as we know, Little Jeff's Girlfriend no longer bears that title. (The Girl Formerly Known as LJ'sG?) I figure we'll hear later how that went, because they'd make great friends, and we genuinely like her outside of that, so there's the awkward period for all of us yet to go through.
We know that because we invited him over for dinner, but he had to go and have a discussion.
He did, however, show up outside the house at midnight to announce that it was snowing. He brought a friend from high school (well, technically the younger sister of a friend from high school, but since there's all of 1000 people in town, there's not much of a year gap, it's purely generational, if you're within ten years of each other, you're in the same peer group), who brought Mary Jane the dachshund (named for Mrs. Spiderman). She was having her very first snow, because she's only about that old a puppy. Very cute.
Anyway, it's still snowing last I checked, which means that the traces of the snowball fight will likely be gone before morning.
Is it just me, or does Swiss Miss taste mostly like hot water to anyone else? When I was a kid, it tasted like chocolate. Now, to get it to taste like chocolate you have to go overboard and make it all taste bitter.
I've almost finished the last of the four scarves I've been making as Christmas presents. Just another sixty-some rows to knit, which is about 3000 stitches. Yikes, it seems a lot when you put it that way, and so does a foot, which is about the disance, and eighty square inches isn't so hot either. Scarves only seem easy, they're really just time consuming. And this last one's the worst because the pattern I made up is easy enough to get boring, but complicated enough that I still have to pay attention to what I'm doing or I goof up.
Fingerless gloves come next, which will be my first "in the round" project. Whee.
