a coupla' links taken from various blogs I've surfed, more because I want to be able to find the sites again easily when I'm at home and can print these things out than anything (Because I can never remember which blog linked to what several hours after I've looked at it):

Thai Fisherman's pants and comfy pants (sewing patterns; linked from Smiling Tiger)

links of lace socks Worsted weight lace socks; pictured on Christine's Flowers. (They are so much prettier in the solid color Christine used than they are in the sorta blah baby-variegated mix on the pattern website). Christine also did hers toe-up. (Yes, I am going to try toe-up socks. Someday.)

Oh, and my summer ecology class was cancelled for lack of students. Which means I'm really going to have to *force* myself to come in and work, because I tend to look at the approximately two months before any kind of a deadline and go "I can work next week."

I'm getting back to writing that paper for the Prairie Conference, I promise!

Oh - my "gratuitous carbohydrate"? A "chug" of chocolate milk. I love the commercially-available chocolate milk, even if it's expensive and over-packaged. It's always a treat to me to buy one of those little bottles - all mine, and I can usually drink it all up in one sitting.
