Anybody got a BIG (5 qt or bigger) crockpot I can borrow for the holiday? I know they are cheap, but I don't want to buy another...borrowing is a better plan, I think. I don't have to store it year round then!

I think this should use up quite a bit of the veges I got in the box today...yea!

Oh. BTW. If you can read this...you are invited to come of course. I aim to serve dinner at 2. I'll open the door at 10, if you show up before that...I'll put you to work. Shoot me an email if you need to know where we are.

Icon Meme!

I created a new icon just for this meme.

DIRECTIONS:
* reply to this post with the word MEME and I will pick six of your icons.
* make a post (including this info if you want) and talk about the icons I chose.
* other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
* this will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.



This is a close up of the tattoo on my left shoulder. Taken by kineticphoenix 's ex-husband...who has an LJ here...but I don't remember his user name. Its my first ink and I did it because I turned 30.




This one I swiped off of nerfduck 's LJ...I mean...c'mon. Its a big ass rubber duck...how can it not be cool?



Okay, Carlos Mencia. A very rude, irreverant, definitely not- PC comedian. Reminds me of George Carlin. He uses the phrase "Dee Dee Dee" instead of retard or some other not tolerated phrase. Extremely useful when making comments about my work and idiots I work with.



My license plate. Means One More Stitch. Which is something Joe used to hear a lot of, the kids hear on occasionally, and the people at the gym hear all the time. I'm in the groove with my stitchin'.



Ahhh. 742. Many, many years ago, while a young, impressionable co-ed at UC Davis. I was a bus driver. The elite bus drivers were the ones who were on the Double Deck list. I drove this bus. I loved driving the Double Decks. It was an awful lot of fun. This is an RT. The quirk about this particular bus (all of the Double Decks had some weird quirk about driving them) is that you literally had to pop the clutch in order to get it to shift into the next gear.



This is a close up shot of a scissors fob I stitched earlier this year. I use this for when I talk about stitching. I have a shot of a different piece of work that I used to use...but it was bigger, and I took it before I learned the joy of the macro setting (I think, its the flower icon) on my digital camera. Besides, there's a dragon in the upper right corner. Its cute!
