Dragon and Tuna
It’s a beautiful Monday. The grass is green, the birds are singing, the sun is shining and I have a finish. This hasn’t been washed or ironed so it’s as is, grimy and all. I tried to take more pictures, but it didn’t quite work out. There is no cross stitch. There is only Tuna.

Random Book Updates and Too Much D&D.
No posts and now two posts in one day. Woo! Today is hopefully the last day of the roof construction. I misspoke in my previous post. We are actually on week 3, not week 2. My temper and nerves are frayed to the maximum capacity, so hopefully this will be coherent. Business Stuff Magic Clams

Yarn Love: Expect the Unexpected
Gordon collects action figures. (Please don’t send him any. He already has pretty much everything.)

Tea and Hammering
::taking a figurative hammer and hitting the holiday project:: Get! Into! Shape! I should do that to myself. I haven’t worked out in 2 weeks. I haven’t walked either. It is super crappy. It’s like Portland, Oregon weather over here, grey and dull and depressing. We mostly have two seasons: awful heat and gloom. We
