I’ve come across a couple new words lately. ‘Gallimaufry’ was one that came in the book I’ve been reading. It means ‘a confused jumble or medley of things’. Thanks to @xFiacre, I’ve now come across it a couple more times. Then...

Ali Canary @JudyEv - it was a lot of fun! I did it in college. My first volunteer gig in a very long line of them.

I've finished another resolution! I have connected my old printer to the old computer. If that sounds RIDICULOUSLY easy, it wasn't--if you remember the original picture, there were a lot of small things in front of the printer,...

Oxfords are shoes that are low-cut and have laces that go up the front of the shoe. Men wore oxford shoes, but eventually, ladies started to wear a form of the oxford shoe. My grandmother and my aunt wore oxford shoes. I always...

Ali Canary I can't stand wearing stilettos, but a short, chunky heel can be much more comfortable than a flat, because I need that arch support!

Do you ever just feel blah and don't feel like doing something? I did all the Discussions and Notifications; but I don't feel like doing any posting. Maybe I'm just hungry. I had yogurt this morning; and I think it's time for...

Ali Canary I worked from home today, but I did manage to cook my lunch and do the dishes, and I finished another resolution, so I'm pretty stoked about that!

Hello everyone on Mylot ! Unfortunately, the weather is a grouch again today, but I do not let it get me down. I am looking at a lot of pictures that I took over the last few years and that brings color this dreary day. I also...

Ali Canary I actually WAS a decent docent, at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. I didn't do guided tours, but what I did do was much more fun--I volunteered in the Live Animal Unit and would show our critters to the museum visitors. It was a lot of fun!

Yay, peeps! I cleared out the area in front of my file cabinet, then cleared out some space IN my file cabinet, got all the stuff off of the stack of files on my floor, and finally got them ensconsed in the file. The kicker here...

Ali Canary Thank you! It wasn't too bad, once I actually got started on it (which is typically the case).

Ali Canary I've had that happen with other fabrics, but I think this sheet is still pretty sturdy. Fingers crossed!

Ali Canary I think it might have actually started as a small tear from a cat claw that got bigger because I dumbed around and left it on the bed, where it could develop into a full-blown rip. So on the one hand, that confirms my poor judgment, but on the other, it means...

This one might look a little familiar. It's similar to item #1, which is to finish painting the bay window triple in the kitchen. This is the triple window in the living room, and it's actually much farther along - the entire...

Ali Canary @TheHorse - it's pretty good - I'd say at least 80% back to normal. Mine was to remove a piece of broken cartilage. They smoothed off the bone a bit while they were in there.

Ali Canary If it's only one bolt, it shouldn't be too bad. Having to hold things in place while I am screwing the bolts in has been hard, and they don't seem designed to go in very straight.

Item #3, like item #2, is also an art project that is unfinished. I was hoping to get them done last year, which I why I added "Complete 20 art projects" to the "20 by 2020" list. However, I only managed to complete two projects...
