So I spent a bit of time today working, doing homework, spinning, and catching up on Ravelry stash and project updates mainly to make myself feel like I organized something.
Oh, and I got a little funny treat in the mail. Two days ago I ordered a bag from LUG, a shamefully trendy product which does seem to manufacture an array of decent bags. I totally discovered them before I ever heard Oprah had, too, so it's not JUST because Oprah liked them. Anyway, I ordered a bag directly from them as I couldn't find the model/colour I wanted in any store. They had an online coupon, too, which made the price even with shipping better than buying retail. They seem to be a nice small company, Toronto-based or at least partly so, but their shipping is from Texas. While I was content to pay the shipping, having gotten the online discount code, my bag arrived in less than 48 hours, with this enclosed:
Goofy, but cute. It's a little gadget beanbag, and it had a signed note attached saying "we're very sorry about the high shipping cost, it's the nature of our FedEx system and we're working on it".
Oh, and just to prove I WAS in Haliburton - I went looking for the rusty fairy metal sculpture that overlooked our classroom windows all last year. She's gone. This is there instead:
I have, for the second year, failed to get a good picture of the front door of the college, which is a work of sculpture itself. I notice more details every time I look at it, but it is red on red, unfortunately, and looks just like a big red door when photographed (by me. I'm sure someone else can do better).
For now, back to reviewing and organizing, as I have until February to complete a huge amount of work, and only until Thanksgiving to cook up a large part of it.
