had a good NYE. i was exhausted, but i went anyhow. it was good to see all the usual folks, though i missed, [livejournal.com profile] twilight_spirit. (it's okay, tim, i know you had stuff to do at home.)

crashed at fil and jonah's. i like spending time with those guys. then we had lunch with jonah on wednesday and came home. we did walk from the apartment to tenley in the misty foggy drizzle. that was most excellent, but now boy is longing to live in DC again. boy drove home, as i was tired. he's such a good boy.

we stopped at walmart for wiper blades and magnets (michael's has been sold out for two weeks on the magnets, so i broke down and went to walmart) and thistleseed (it's half the price the *chain* grocery stores charge).

we have a moat again. the sump pump has been running nearly non-stop. i hope it keeps raining. we need replenished groundwater in virginia if we want to avoid massive water restrictions next summer.

boy took the trash out. i woke up at 1:30pm and i'm just too tired to move. slept nearly 12 hours. i should probably eat something.

Magnets!

Are you making marble magnets?

I made a fuckton of them before Christmas. I had to quit when I ran out of pictures.

I am in need of counseling.

i already made a fuckton, then i ran out of magnets.

;)

btw, i printed wingdings (font) and some other crazy font stuff in 24pt or whatever and cut them out. i double spaced the "letters" and spaced between them for cutting. there are several nifty characters--bomb, spider, web, skull/crossbones, desert, beach, om, etc.

Are you using lazer or ink jet? I have an ink jet and I was afraid the ink would run from the glue.

I have made TONS of magnets. I even made a magnet from a pic of Meatloaf's face. Hmm.

Today in the freebie bin at the used bookstore I found two Ladies Home Journal mags from 1970. More fodder for magnets!

I should re-add [livejournal.com profile] craftgrrl. There was drama right before the holidays that made me delete it from my friends list.

Hi from another crazed magnet-maker. Though after my first batch of marble magnets (and marble thumbtacks), I discovered that I like larger images on magnet sheet, covered with clear contact paper, much better. So that's what everyone got for christmas, and now I'm out of magnet paper.

Laura

p.s. Brock and I are sorry we didn't get to see you over Christmas. Hope you didn't have to murder your brother. :)

Aww...

Thanks for missing me Jos-dear. ;)

I definitely needed an introvert recharge period. That felt sooo good. Especially with my new super duper comfy slippers to lounge in. w00t. :)

Hope it was a fun party. Ken promised to take lots of pictures...
