We got swag!!

well. lol. As I said before, we went to my great-aunt's house for the day yesterday, to help her daughter go through her things. (you remember this aunt--I went down to NJ for her funeral earlier in August and I got myself depressed, I believe) Anyway, she's got a lot of stuff. They were very eager to get rid of it, so we got, well, I've been calling it swag. XD
( swag here )

me and katie, first we threw out all the shoes. lol. Then we all started to go through her clothes. We made stacks to either throw them out, or try to sell them. There was a lot of wild stuff. Then we went through her dresser. Nifty jewelery, a lot of random stuff. Then we went into the other room to go through more clothes, and then we sorted hangers. lots of hangers. at least a hundred.

Mom forgot her book, and, since she's staying until Tuesday to help out with the garage sale, I leant her mine, which has 2 of the Herriot books in it: All Things Wise and Wonderful, and The Lord God Made Them All. Very good. So now I'm going to have to find something else to read, but maybe this will make it easier for me to finish up the textbook stuff.

david is telling me that katie sounded like she was having "serious withdrawl problems". hmmm. She seemed ok to me, but I'll talk to her. David wants me to make sure Katie is ok. Well, my god. Doesn't he think that I do all I can and that if I could make Katie ok I would? hmmm. evidently he is saying this to reassure himself.

Anyway, on the trip home, I think someone's car broke down in the Lincoln tunnel, so we were there for about 20 minutes, waiting for a tow truck to back it's way down to get it. Or at least, that's our theory. We couldn't see anything, we were just stopped completely for 20 minutes. Well, not completely. We moved a couple feet foward about 5 times. People actually honked. it was kinda weird.

Then we went to my grandpa's for pizza. mmmm, pizza. I'm actually not a huge pizza fan, except for when my grandpa makes it :D

right. I feel like there's more but that's all I can think of, so bye bye!

Scannish-ness

I decided to scan my tech drawing. I was sure I'd told you guys about it earlier, but this was all I could find:
"Uhm. Oh yeah--I got to show off my Tech Draw project!! I finished it! With 10 days left, and I had one of the most complicated ones!! :D It got a little crushed, and I'm kinda pissed cos I want to use it as a portfolio piece. I mean, it's really really complicated. And difficult. [eugh, something really really smells bad] Anyway, that was cool." (from an entry on January 5th)
lol. It's an architectural style drawing of a piece of styrofoam packing. All of the little nooks and what-not (cos it was for a radio reciever or something? I can't remember). I measured them all, did a sketch (that got extremely crowded) where I wrote down all the measurements, then converted them (it's in .5=1 scale), then drew the whole thing. >.< Now styrofoam packaging makes me nervous. XD

Anyway, I had to scan it in two pieces, so it's a little messed up. And it's smudgy, which annoys me. But anyway. . .
( when I said other things I've scanned were big, I was lying )
