RTBTCKI (The March Madness Bracket Monday 2011 edition)

[puppetmaker]

Is anyone doing a March Madness competition? I know I did one last year with a group and it was fun.

The Brackets were announced yesterday and I haven’t looked at the final sheet yet. I figure I will get to it sometime later today. Monday is my rather full day with various things that need to be done in a certain order.

Haven’t heard anything about any of the jobs that I applied for in the past two weeks. One is at Randomhouse in the Children’s department which I would be very good for and the other is at TOR which I would be awesome at. I would really like to get back into editorial work full time.

Any suggestions for Crafty Tuesday?

On another note I will not be going to LunaCon this year. Just too many things piling up on top of one and other to make it feasible for me to go this year. So may be next year.

Fig is a hidey cat. She likes to hide in and under things. Her favorite places are paper bags and under a pile of stuffed animals. We figure that this was learned behavior before we found her since she was a stray up until that point. We just have to be careful that we don’t accidently step on her and watch out for toe attacks.

Got Ariel back up to college after Spring Break. It was nice to have her home for a week. Caroline was very happy to spend some time with her big sister.

Still adjusting to the time change. And I still am not happy about the extension of Day Light Savings Time. It isn’t saving any energy because I have to turn on lights in the AM because there is no sun. It worked better with the original dates before the government extended it.

There are a couple of things I need to do about DragonCon starting with getting my contract into them. Then there is the Art Show which has opened the juried part of the site for anyone who wants try to get into the Art Show. I am sorting out my images for this year. The rules are pretty strict as to how old a piece can be. I just hope I get in this year. I have some ideas that are really cool.

Getting the day started now that the coffee cup is empty. Have a good one y’all.

I am grateful for smooth travel without delays.

I don't do brackets, but I always root for the Jayhaawks. :)

I was looking at some of the seashells my parents sent us from St. Kitts the other day and considering what awesome faery wings they would make.

Have a lovely week!

Daylight Saving Time made a *lot* more sense before they extended it! The spring change isn't too bad, although it's now before (i.e., on the winter side of) the equinox. The fall change is a disaster: it was already waaaaay too late, and the new date is even worse. Remember when we were kids, and it was last-Sunday-in-April/first-Sunday-in-October? That wasn't nearly so bad, although the fall change was still after (i.e., on the winter side of) the equinox. What would make the most sense is early April to early September. Not going to happen. :(

I hate that they mess with the time at all. Wish they would just leave it one way or another. That is just me though.
