Breakoff Omaha Emendable Appendage
ICA

Had an artist experience today- Went to see the 'Made in Mexico' show at the ICA today and was a bit underwhelmed. I had anticipated Mexican artists but it was mostly artists from different countries who had visited Mexico City and done some conceptual stuff, not my favorite realm unfortunately. I think the last time I was there I saw Mapplethorpe and was quite blown away, but this time the art didn't seem to have much of a thread tying it together except that they had all visited---or thought about---Mexico. Plus the video thing, repetitions slo-mo of the same scene over and over is a yawn. And everyone had a take on Frida, let's get beyond it. OK, that's my review. Even the guards (actually part time art students) were yawning.


The excitement after that was just being in the city- I hardly ever go in to just wander around, but this time my wandering was 45 minutes in the parking garage- just to the point that the exit guy wouldn't believe me that I hadn't found a spot. Round and round till I was about to lose my mind when I found some attendant parking and abandoned the shiny new vehicle right there. So, I was gone about 2 hours and came back to a missing car. Seems the attendant had moved it and not written down where he moved it to! They had my stub and they had my key and tried to bring me a big blue BMW wagon but I sent them back out, all three of them. I told them it was silvery green but wouldn't you know this parking garage has the kind of lights that make it look blue- TY says it's the color of a fish, guess he's right. So, another 45 monutes and I made it out exactly at the 3 hour mark when the rate goes up another $7, whew, dodged the bullet.

Got home and got the transponder problem solved- seems that when we stopped the credit card we forgot that the transponder was auto billed. I was wondering why my car wasn't turning the lights on on the Thruway to Buffalo--- oh boy, they say that they charge $50 for every use after the crredit card is stopped- I could be in big trouble here. Think I'll call them tomorrow and plead.

Cars. Ya gotta love 'em.

Art. Ya don't have to even like it.

Afforest Dastard Cerberus Apportion
TY is sound asleep on the couch, guess the redeye from SF got him again but godforbid he would admit he's tired. Sigh.
He arrived home at 7 this AM and the coffee was ready, we sat and watched Bushy news and he went to teach a yoga class and I went to the Y to pump-me-up. This is getting harder and harder, but I know it's because of my winter of lethargy and sloth. I'm paying, boy, I'm paying, but the scale was down a pound and a half today so it's working. And I know it will help to not be drinking the beer like I have been lately.

Sunday I was going to look at Amanda's new dining table but thought I had better stop in and see my MIL who is not doing too well. I told Amanda and she decided to come with me- and boy, is she ever happy about it. Grandma gave her the diamond necklace that she tried to give me for my engagement back 34 years ago. Now, all of a sudden she is very interested in sparkly things and I do have to say that it looked great on her. She also was given a huge purple sparkly ring which I couldn't imagine she would like but she loves! Her words to me in the car on the way home were that every girl needs a big cocktail ring! Mygawd, this is the girl who was wearing broccoli rubberbands in her hair a few years ago!

On the way home we stopped at Marshalls- it is so fun to shop with her now, we could never even be in the same car all those teenage years. I gotta say I sure like this way of living more than the previous way. BLess your heart, Jamie!

Didn't get home until 6 PM which barely gave me time to knit on the polka dot sleeves- I started some sleeve ribbing using 2 colors and liked the effect so am continuing up the sleeves now, using the Lopi I got on eBay which is about 10 different colors. I was just doing horizontal striping in contrast to the vertical ribbing stripes, but cannot leave well enough alone so started adding polka dots randomly. Now, I'm about halfway up the sleeves and I like it fine. Hope that the whole thing all polka dotty won't be a bit much but I am doing this to keep the fingers busy, not to collect a wardrobe- can always give it away.

Amanda brough over the Rose Garden quilt so I can put a sleeve on it for the show in Arlington. I got it cut out and fitted and am debating whether to break all rules and just machine it on- it's only temporary, and the front is so busy that no one will know- hey, I can even use invisible thread. Yup, I just talked myself out of the hand sewing, thanks.

I also have to make a nice little sign for the front with the words to "Rose Garden" on it- with a note that it was my motherly advice to Amanda for her wedding, not the typical advice for sure. The woman who quilted it for me, in Washington state, is a genius, only wish she was closer.

Inevitable Carbohydrate Inseminate Farther










(Boy, these look so...black...)

Well, got back from the quilt-schlep NH trip in time to go meet Nate-the-Great for a late lunch (HE bought!) and a trip through the Apple store where he had to pry my frozen fingers off the damn laptops. I picked out what I want, now only need the funds. Meanwhile someone must have died and left him a bundle because he bought new speakers- the 'genius' (that's what the sales guys are called) told him he uses the same speakers hooked up to his iPod as his living room stereo. And then I stopped understanding what he was saying, but he and Nate seemed to speak the same language. Doubt he was 20 yet. If I bought the laptop of my dreams I also get a 'genius' to help me whenever I want for $99 a year, and not just Mac equipment stuff.

The desk top I have now is on final warning- the first sign of balkiness it's outta here and I am going to streamline to a sexy new Mac. AND an iPod. Then I have to get a Photoshop course (and another pricey update) under my belt because it takes me longer to find how to do something than I care to spend. And I know it's a learning curve but I only have so much life expectancy left, would rather be eating cheesecakes.

Chipping away at the inside piles, but I have to admit it was nice to be outside on such a beautiful day. I was watching for Tonny in NH but she was either on the other road (there are two) or I beat her out this AM. I got an e-mail last night at 9:30 from the gallery person asking for specific quilts to be delivered today- well, two of them were too big for the space and the other one was already committed- I sent off three quilts, old ones but she won't know and they do look good together, and if she doesn't like it she should organize her shows more than a week ahead! Truly a nut case, and even worse, one with a touch of OCD I would guess. Got home from dropping them off and there was another e-mail asking for bio and resume and statement--like I wouldn't have brought it with me, not have to drive it to Lexington to give to the woman who has to go up Tuesday. What a PITA this all is.

On my way to Sylvia's I just dropped into a glass bead show down the street. It was jammed with ladies who looked just like quilters but maybe from a different country. Every time I stopped to touch a bead (and as soon as I saw the prices I stopped touching altogether) they would talk to me like I was one of them, explaining the step by step processes. What I did get is a fantastic necklace made from old white wire coat hangers and a few small blue and green simple beads. Seems that it has appeared in a book put out by the Dairy Barn, so as soon as she said that I forked over the most money ever paid for coat hangers- it was the third reason to buy it, the first being it's interestingly recycled stuff, the second being I loved it. Got a few additional very cool beads, small ones, and discovered I am drawn to the ones that are matte and look like something dug up from the ground. Thankfully there wasn't an admission fee and they were giving out free copies of Craft Report and Ornament to everyone coming in so I didn't feel quite so 'taken'. Doesn't take much to get me to spend.

So now I have been exposed to 2 new languages in one day, Mac-ese and Beadspeak. I want to be fluent in both.

Irrational Dilution Ferry Abridge
The Adventure of the Week is getting my dad, Lazarus, moved from his nursing home to an Assisted Living Facility. Here are the guresome details of my trip back to the Ole Stompin' Grounds and my plunge into alcoholism.

Oy, you asked for it. Got him at the nursing home early Wed. AM and took him to the ass't living place. It was kinda cute- all the old drooling people gathered round him and shook his hands, all the nursing staff hugged him goodbye, we signed him out and away we went. We were greeted at the entry by the administrator and she had arranged for me to eat lunch with him in the private dining room, then go back to his room and sign paper after paper. I had brought a whole station-wagon full of stuff he wanted from his house, and a son of a friend of his had moved in his bed and recliner the night before, so he had most everything he needed and I tried to organize as he sat there giving orders and telling me what he needs next- all far fetched stuff that was a project to gather- a curtain and rods to cut out the sun, a small refrigerator, his shoe rack and a dresser from home. I spent the rest of the day gathering stuff and hauling it back and setting it up- then when I wanted to leave he had a fit because it meant he had to go to the dining room and navigate the unknown- he wanted me to stay! No way in hell, I wanted out and fast so I walked him to the door and a waitress came rushing over to show him his seat. Deja Vu to that first day of school when my kindergardener said for me to go in myself, she would prefer to stay in the car!

I finally broke free and ended up at a Chili's for dinner all by myself. Ordered a beer and they brought me TWO big frosted mugs- seems I had lucked into two-fer-one night. I pushed one aside while waiting for the burger and downed the first, then started on the second one- you gotta know here I have never had 2 beers in my life. God Bless Chili's, finished them both before the food arrived and it wasn't very long at all.

Day 2, 8 AM, I headed for Wal-Mart for the refrigerator and curtains- got them and a bunch of other stuff and had to haul it and get it into the car myself. Then, at the asst living place all the maintenance men were tending the yard so I had to then haul it into the room myself too. My dad had a doctor appt that afternoon and we arranged for the driver to take him (I want to get him used to doing that and told him I would go with him with the driver which was fine.) I got back to the AL place early but they had already left, which left me searching for his new doctor in a town I don't know my way around- got to the medical building in a lather just as his exam was finishing and the nurse led me into his room- my father announced LOUDLY that the new doctor was a 'black individual'. I said yes, dad, he is an Indian to which my dad screamed at me, "NO- HE IS A NIIIIGERRRROOOOO, and a real black one at that!" Enter Dr. Patel S_____, who is indeed very dark and also a very nice guy. No way he would have missed my dad's description. I coulda died.

ANYway, the driver had left the medical building so I gave daddy-dearest a ride back to AL where he again tried to entice me to 'stay for dinner' but I had to go hem the goddam curtains he insisted on, so off I went. Two hours later I finished that-BY HAND because my dear father had given away my mom's Bernina to a 12 year old girl and with it the huge sewing case that included all her equipment. By 7 PM I had the curtains hung and my dad said to find a check so he could reimburse me for the refrigerator and other stuff. I said that rather than that I would just like to have a word of appreciation for carrying all the furniture, attending to his every whim, rearranging the place and shopping and sewing and fetching him from the doctor appt he botched up. As I sat there expectantly waiting for confirmation that I was appreciated and acknowledged he said I should KNOW that already...and...he...dropped... the ...subject...

So basically I didn't get thanked, AND I didn't get the check.

Bottom line is he hates it there because he is expected to get his ass to the medical desk every day to get his meds from the nurse, and then he has to walk to the dining room for his meals. He is used to sitting and having everything brought to him. He wants to move again. I told him the only alternative was a nursing home to get that sort of service and he got venomous again- told me that there are nursing homes where there aren't all crazy people. So I told him he has to stay there 30 days because he's paid up, and that he is welcome to continue looking for another place, I am not going to do it. And I called the agency that has been taking care of him and gave them the heads-up that they are not to be taking him around to other places. She agreed completely, so that was a load off my mind. He doesn't want assisted living, he wants a fookin Geisha.

That night for dinner I went to an actual old Buffalo saloon, a roast beef and kimmelweck place but instead I had TWO MORE beers and a huge steak and baked potato- guess I needed a little protein after that day. Us furniture movers and all.

Today was a piece o' cake- I was out of the house at 6:45, drove 2 hours and stopped for gas and coffee and to pee around Waterloo onm the Thruway, back in the car and I didn't get out again until I arrived at my garage (the gas is real low, but I just wanted to blast through). Don't think I was under 75-80 mph the whole way- and that's the first time I have ever done just one stop. Total time was under 7 hours- a RECORD- even in spite of the rain all the way. I should have been arrested.

TY is in San Francisco again this weekend so I am blissfully alone for a day or two sorting it all out in my head. I know I will be feeling guilty again in a few weeks but right now all I am is pissed. Would it have killed him to say 'thanks'?

Thylacine Blowed Estrapade Burdock



So, I went to Somerville this AM with my GD passive agressive neighbor to buy a rug for our lobby- Building 19 is a crap shoot- salvage stuff and they had a load of orientals in this week, only in one store. She had found a round oriental from India that they claim is worth $6000 but we got it for $1000. Hauled that puppy home in my ski-condom and flipped it onto the floor where it's perfect. It has the icky green of the woodwork and a deep rust red that works with the cherry floor so now people can drag in all the mud and slop they want- it will never show on this thing.

Then I went to meet TY to watch the Marathon- I was later than I intended and it took me an hour to go less than 3 miles because the roads were all blocked off and the cops wouldn't let me go down my first three choices. I was headed for Ralph's golf club but ya can't git there from here... Finally I made it and ate a duck breast Cobb salad for lunch and then strolled out to stand with the riffs and raffs to watch the Kenyons flying uphill without even sweating. This year they sent the women off right after the wheelchairs so I saw them, got bored and took a circutious route home to avoid the coppers. See enclosed.

So now I am starting to pack to go to Buffalo in the morning. Seems the Old Coot is tres excited about breaking out of the nursing home and has been compiling lists of things for me to haul to the assisted living place. Can tell this is going to be a back breaker of a week moving all his shit. Hell, his tv is the size of my car. Hope I can find a guy+truck combo to deal while I'm there, but it's doubtful- here you can't even get a call-back from guys like that. But I am hoping that since it's Buffalo and things*sure*are*different*in*the*heartland that maybe I can score somebody. Sure wish Nate could get time off, he's beefy and would work for cheeseburgers. But alas, there's the problem of being employed.

So, it was 86 here today- just heard from one of my dad's keepers and she said it will be in the 40's tomorrow there- so much for wondering where my tee shirts are, back to the sweaters.

Pompon Sonority Product Componentry




We did the gallery talk this afternoon and it went well, everyone loved my statistics. I was surprised that 2 pieces had sold but one has me baffled. Remember the dyptich that was decoupaged pattern paper covered with beads and ivory thingamabobs? I had cross-stitched "You can't always get what you want" on one piece and then, "But you always get what you need" on the other, and they were mounted on 2 stretcher frames off center to meet in the middle. Well, ONE sold. Go figger. The very weirdest thing is that the price I put on it was for both pieces but through an accident of some sort, that price was on both pieces. So I got twice what I was asking for half a piece. Except now what in hell does one do with the second half that means nothing without the first? TY says to (gag) GIVE it to the buyer. I don't think so since they only wanted one part of it. What would Jesus do...? Or you?

Also sold the piece from the old Kiss show, and I was glad to get that moved out, in fact had put a ridiculous low price on that one to move it and it worked.

For the gallery talk I made statistical averages of all of the crit group to tell who we are- 'Our' birthday is June 19th, 1944 so 'we' will be 60 this summer. We live in zipcode 02313, which, according to USPS, should be near Dorchester but it doesn't exist. We have been married to our original husbands for 36 years now and have 2 kids, at least one of which has gone into the arts in some way, and one of those kids has married someone in the arts too. We have been quilting 28 years for about 4 hours per day and have produced 115 quilts, not counting the more ordinary bedquilts, baby quilts, and gift items we generate regularly. Between us we have over 1500# of fabric at our disposal. We maintain, at present, five cats and one major cat allergy. Our shoe size is an 8 with only 2 exceptions, and we have absolutely NO concensus on our choices of pie! Our personal choices are key lime, peach, chocolate, any berry pie, pumpkin, cherry, and apple. So, if you want to please all of us at once, bring chocolate chip cookies.

I never showed you the "Cloth Chart" quilt, did I? I'll include it here today since it's all finished, binding and sleever in place. I am ditching the deadlines for next week I was going to try to make- and feeling very defeated about it, but I just don't have time to make and get photographs to mail out. Today I met N at the gym and she was getting her stuff together for the show in New Haven this summer, 'Expressions'. All I could possibly do is send the things that were rejected from the Whistler show, not exactly cutting-edge stuff, made with vintage fabrics. I like them both a lot but doubt they would get in. I'll think about it tomorrow on my way to NH with S to check out the library venue. Somethng I really don't want to do. Then on Sunday there is a gallery talk in Cambridge for our show there- I'm doing some new averages of the crit group for that. Hope it doesn't go on too long, but more than that, I hope I can find a parking place!

I'd like to get out early so I can hit Pearl Paint on the way home. I haven't been able to find gold size on the internet in the size I need to do the backsplash- I need more than 2 oz. and less than a quart! It doesn't exist in cyberland.

Did a check on eBay to see what ration books are bringing from WWII. I have three from 1944 and thought they might be more collectable than they seem to be. Guess I'll stick them in a shadow box with the other old stuff. The bathroom is getting real cluttered with all this memorabilia I'm dragging back from Buffalo.

So- maybe that's a reason to not go? I think it's valid...

Palsy San Chowder Approbation





I sure am enjoying recycling these spam headers.




Here is one of the bird-of-paradise-from-outerspace photos from Florida. These things are 18" long, amazing. I have to DO something with all the pictures I took of it. If I could carve out some printing time this weekend it would be great.

Just got back from the condo meeting, yegads, what a bore. i was designated the recorder this time and I cannot read my own notes. Fees are going up, whata surprise. And we are negotiating for landscaping and new locks, and different insurance. And I still haven't done my bit to find a rug for the entry. It'sll have to wait till I get back from Buffalo next week.

And I have to go WHY??? To move Lazarus into assisted living, an upgrade from a nursing home. Folks don't usually move in that direction but he is. And tonight for the first time he talked about selling the house. Whoopie, would love to get that chore behind me and it looks like it will be my summer project this year. Hopefully I can do it alone because Lazarus won't be any help. Maybe I can also sell off the automobile-of-death too. I'm calling it that because if he ever takes it out again that's what will happen. Did you know in NYS that they renew driver licenses with only an OK from an eye doctor that you can see, and they do it by mail! Here is an 86 year old man confined to a wheelchairt and with macular degeneration and they renewqed him no questions. Ohmigawd.

But that's the least of my problems now. He wants me to be there longer this trip- I usually can blast in and out of town in 1 day but he needs me to do this move for him, though I have NO idea how I can find movers and get his stuff organized all by myself. Oy.

Note to Self: Do not let this happen to your kids. Arrange your life to make things easier on everyone around. Save up old prescriptions! Geesh.

I have to go transcribe these condo notes before the whole thing escapes me. G'night

Board Condition Hoard Bear



Well, got the eBay kit sweater up just fine but here is the sweater I have already made- the Noro kimono! It's heavy looking but not to wear, wool and silk combo, Kuryon that was knit up on 10's so it only took a week or so. Ohhhh deeeer, when I see this big rough PRIMITIVE thing next to the beautifully designed one below I see where I am going wrong! I need sophistication and class, not Birkenstocks and striped socks!




Oy. Never mind the kimono, all of a sudden I am not liking it much...

Have to go pack up the stuff for crit group tonight- it's pouring out and cold but here I go!

Finished the socks fionally! Don't have a picture yet because TY was on the computer all day and wouldn't let me at it. I had planned to print the satin all day, all cut and prepared and ready with the new ink cartridges but wou;dn't ya know today he stays here to work from home. Oh, I lost the morning toop because we lost our power lat night and it didn't come back till about 11 (which is why trhe socks got finished...)




I ordered a kit from Toronto off eBay with a pretty fabulous sweater, see above. Takes me a bit to figure out how to do this and I'd love the images to be inside the message. Oh well. I think I might have bit off the summer knitting project with this one, nice, huh?

Am not so sure about Aparkpod, thought it wouold be simpler to use but every time I log in I get errors- will do some investigating before I switch.

Calhoun Encounter Infima Counterpoint



Well, it seems that my spam catcher in FL was more inactive than here at home because I don't have any more of the funny combinations coming in now that I'm back.. I have to use the examples from the list a few days ago, boo hoo.



It's Easter, TY is out at church by himself- that's the price of marrying a heathen. The little heathens ('little' being highly subjective) are on their way over for brunch in a short while. Here's what I'm making:

Bloody Marys
Smoked Salmon
Baked Eggs on top of Spinach/Black Forest Ham/Brie
Slab Bacon
Rum Sticky Buns
Fresh Pineapple

I bought three *very expensive* chocolate bunnies yesterday because what is Easter without a bunny, but got them home and one had broken ears from being in the grocery sack. I held both pieces over a gas flame to soften them and welded them back together- hope it lasts through breakfast and one of the little heathens doesn't notice before they get bitten.

Had a devil of a time with the Armenian eggs yesterdsay too- I had to buy yellow onions because I don't save the skins from Christmas like a good Armenian wife. I got six onions and skinned them and put them in a big pot with 2 dozen eggs and water to cover. A half houtr later the water was barely colored so I called my MIL to see if she adds vinegar or salt or anything to get the dye to stick. Nope- jsut plain but maybe I didn't have enough onion skins. So I went away and came back an hout later and VOILA---- I had beautiful red-purple eggs, perfect! I was having doubts and not trusting my instincts but the universe dyed my eggs perfectly.

But I lost about 6 to cracks so they won't be any good for the egg game. I have to also save back a bunch for MIL because we will go see her this afternoon. Afterall, it is she who is the real Armenian...

Finished up the "Cloth Chart" quilt last night and got it blocked. It's pretty bleached-out looking but maybe it's just because I usually use such strong colors (OK, so it's black!)and this doesn't have any. I am anxious to take it to crit group since they will be honest with me. If I have time today I want to start printing up the photos of the canoe trip for the next one. I am planning on printing on satin this time because of the luminosity- hope it works. I guess I had better photogtraph the bowl of eggs and the "Cloth Chart" for the archives. be back later...

Sidewise Excelsior Pigeonberry Bella



I'm waiting for the 'limo' to take me to the airport for Boston, so thought I would get some excelsior thoughts down. I've got the house cleaned up, the laundry done, the furniture dragged into the garage, and the outdoor lights turned off. What I didn't get done is getting the bromiliads into the ground. Have tried all season to get the gardening hand tools down here but they wouldn't make it through airport security and I have ruined too many wooden spoons digging in the flower beds.

Have to get some EGGS! Also have to get a vat full of onion skins somehow. My MIL started saving onion skins at Armenian Christmas for dying the Easter eggs but I don't have any at home- don't know what color Vidalia onions dye to so I better pick up a 5# bag of regular old onions at least. I can always make onion soup. Should be enough since I don't want to do hundreds of eggs like we usually have at the relatives houses. Will do 2 dozen so the 'kids' can each take home some for their own refrigerators. Better I give them eggs than chocolate, right?

In Daily Candy today they announced that straight hair is out again - hallelujah- at least I didn't get around to dropping that $400.

Will make one more round of the place as I wait to leave. Seems funny that I probably won't be back until next November but it's good I am getting out because they temperature is rising fast. Today they predict record breaking temperatures, maybe up to 90. Definitely time to get back to' Warsaw', as R calls home.

Bloodstained Disquietude Pleasant Quip
Today is my mom's birthday, or rather, would have been her birthday. I guess it's kind of dumb to 'celebrate' since she is dead, but still the date pops up like it always has.

L is here until later this afternoon. She is a good guest, always up for anything and not in my way. But I'll tell ya, it is hard having someone around when I am so used to being by myself! Tomorrow I get rerady to fly home and get back to work- am anxious for a bit of discipline in my day.

I have to go work on the 65 pictures I took yesteerday of one damn flower- the huge bird-of-paradise is in bloom and the flower is about 18" across. It is oozing stuff that looks like raspberry jam and has a wee spider web on it that glistens in the sun. These aren't the orange Bo'Ps yous ee in tropical bouquets, this is the mother plant that rises over the house roof and has leaves 4' long. I'll pick a few and post them here after I do the fussin at them. Later...

I'm collecting interesting word combinations thatI get in my huge collection of APAM messages I get every day- I don't quite know what to do with them yet, maybe quilt titles, maybe blog headers, maybe words to live by? Tell me! Here goes

cartilaginous flathead
birch hatchet
bern draftsperson
spaniel
shakespearean scan scorch
terminated zkaat
baptismal biotik
fiberboard compass
baklava glitter
asilomar negroid
screwball network
calhoun encounter
grim rudder
opossum addressee

I'll add to them as they appear to me! Much prefer these to the ones that just have characters in the subject line.
