http://www.caitlinjane.com Even the orchestra is beautiful! Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:17:46 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I actually stared at the first one for a long, long time and thought about a practical joke my parents played on wealthy friends of theirs a million years ago. The next 2 aren't as cool, but I can tell you that they are very soft. And tempting. And kind of ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/16/pillows-i-have-been-tempted-by/ I got the ring I ordered from Midwest Alchemy in the mail today, it's awesome. I'd always wanted a ring with emeralds-my birth stone-and now I have it. And if anyone was wondering, my birthday is exactly 2 months from today. Get crackin'! http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/11/mail/ I woke up from a very strange dream yesterday: that Rush Limbaugh had come out of the closet to a not terribly positive reception. I was somehow friends with him or maybe an aide or assistant and he was a total mess, his shirt stained, his hair sticking up and ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/10/wing-ding/ You may well be wondering why I go to Value Village so often, and that's very reasonable. I'm on the hunt for vintage percale sheets. That is ALL. Well, ok, you never know when you really will find a treasure, I also look at hand knit sweaters and for yarn/crafting ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/10/further-adventures-at-vv/ I've been super lucky to have spent the last 2 weekends hanging out with old friends and their gorgeous (and well behaved!) children. No favourites here, they're all lovely and somewhat jealous making. Here's Molly Jane, the grand finale to Ryan and Corrie's family.  She's got navy blue eyes, 2 teeth ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/08/beautiful-babies/ I'm slowly but surely getting used to using Ubuntu. It's been rather frustrating at times but at this point I have no desire to return to windows, and specifically Vista, at all. I just need to figure out how to get my Sirius to work. Anyway, here are the 2 more ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/03/quilting/ I got rid of Windows from my computer. This laptop came with Vista installed, and while I had no real personal problems with it, my computer got seriously, virally infected on Saturday so we dumped Windows and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix. It's nice. It's clean and free and (in theory) ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/03/01/testing-testing-1-2-3/ As I already told Laura, I am having an all-choked-up sort of day and these 2 fellows patiently waiting their master inside the grocery store really captured my mood. The lighter coloured dog has a funny sort of lumpy head that at first I thought was snow piling up. It's -6C ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/02/25/brr/ In an effort to be healthier, I've switched up my normal diet. Of course, I've become addicted to this meal and eat it daily. Well, as far as I can tell, there's nothing bad in it. It's a baked sweet potato with a mixed green salad dumped on top, with a ... http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/02/24/impending-health/ Vagoo. It just sounds funny. And it's a pretty darn funny thing to spray paint on a building. This is the building formerly known as The Big Bop, corner of Queen St W and Bathurst. http://www.caitlinjane.com/2010/02/23/my-newest-favourite-word/
