Cool paper site

The Peace of Paper displays a collection of origami and other paper arts. Like this cool box:



I wonder if I can figure out how to cut that with my CraftRobo. The pattern can be found in this post: Link.

This explains it!

Finished the final HP book

I finished the final Harry Potter book about an hour ago. 750+ pages of pottermania in one weekend. I started reading around 1:30 yesterday, fell asleep about an hour later for a 3 hour nap, then read most of the rest of the weekend.

I stretched the previous HP book over a week or more so I could enjoy it, but I worried that too many people would discuss the book online or post spoilers, so I wanted to go ahead and read it and experience the story for myself.

The HP books are very easy to read but not too childish. I prefer the earlier, shorter volumes, but I really like Rowling's writing style.

I borrowed a few of the Wizard of Oz books so I would better understand the backdrop for Wicked, but I can't really get into them. They are simple reads, but maybe a little too simple for me to really enjoy.

Maybe I'll read them to the kids if they'll let me LOL.

Anyway, back to housework, that has been sorely neglected this weekend.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Stay safe today!

101 degrees!

At 4 PM, when I went to pick up the kids from camp, my car said it was 101 degrees out! Mostly, it read 99, but it climbed to 101 for a few seconds. :)

I was shocked to learn that they spent part of the afternoon outside. I'm going to ask the camp organizers about that tomorrow.

Envirosax = Eco shopping

These are pretty cool. I'm thinking of investing in them. I buy so many groceries that I'd probably need a few sets, though. (Click on the photo to buy.)

One bite or two?

We had a very busy day yesterday. In the evening we stopped for sushi. I don't eat raw meat, but I love cucumber rolls and avocado rolls (and sometimes, California rolls).

So, I realize yesterday, as the rice and filling from my sushi was falling all over the place, that maybe I wasn't supposed to try to bite the sushi in half to eat it. I asked my husband and 19 yr old stepson, and they said they both eat their sushi in one bite.

But they're men, and well, they have big mouths. Hee hee. I tried eating a sushi roll in one bite, and my mouth felt REALLY full! Maybe I could get used to it. It beats having half of the sushi fall ungracefully from my hands when I try to bite it.

So what thinks you? One bite or two?
