I managed to feed the visitors on Tuesday—lentil soup, bread and cheese, lemonade scones, and a birthday cake, coffee, with chocolate icing—although I had overestimated the amount of creative play we'd be able to get through in an afternoon, so the cards will have to attend our next get-together to be finished. But everybody had fun, so that's all right.

Today, I dyed some yarn with Kool Aid (Lemonade and Tropical Punch)… but somehow failed to secure the skein well enough. And spent, oh, five hours untangling it. But hey! It's better than writing! The deadline is a whole week away. No need to write just yet.

Also, I now have backache.

Speaking of procrastination, I have been wandering through the internet and came upon a True Gem which I had, alas, failed to notice when it debuted, although apparently it was Huge. Surely, surely it must be Performance Art? An author takes exception to a review. Oh, boy. *boggles* There goes an author who has already reached the peak of his artistic potential.

There goes an author who...takes himself too seriously? I suppose some people don't know when it's best to just...STOP! I did chuckle at the one responders haiku(s), LOL. THEY were obviously having a laugh.

I didn't know you could dye things with Kool Aid. Doesn't it make the yarn stiff or sticky? Doesn't it wash out? Interesting idea.

It just makes me wonder how one gets Kool Aid stains out of their kids' clothing. Many coffees have dyes in them too, to the extent that if spilled on a carpet, even professionals cannot remove the stain. Yes, people drink that??? (I can't talk, I drink soda, and I'm sure 'caramel coloring' is another word for dye.)

My niece has dyed her hair blue. I wonder if she uses Kool Aid? LOL
