al fresco
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007Had dinner outside for the first time last night. Tyrone made some sort of shrimp/dried red pepper/red cabbage/green pepper/ginger pasta to celebrate.
I had to resist the urge to get out my clippers and go after the tiny trees re-sprouting suckers in the yard before dinner.
Spent the rest of the night finishing up patterns to submit. One of the patterns directly relates to Colorado’s new co-state song, John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High. YIPPEE! I almost got teary when they played it on NPR this morning.
Also spent time figuring out that the Federal Universal Service Fee is NOT the same thing as the Federal Telecommunications Excise Tax. Best advice, take the standard deduction for that refund. Hopefully all of our taxes are gathered now.
Finally, I’ve been obsessed with how to make a crocheted table soaked/cast in epoxy resin as seen in USA Today (last week, second item down).
