Headed to the Easter Show to (wo)man the Guild display. I bet @Yarna_’s getting hungry! http://t.co/86XDFI9F
I just unlocked the “Trainspotter” badge on @foursquare! http://t.co/nr2Cr3V9
@stufromoz @teknetia @snarkyboojum It’s gone! Michael Mobbs put his hand up first. Now anybody for a robotic self-cleaning litter tray?
@teknetia @hatescake It’s a Littermaid. We brought it from US years ago but our idiot cats need something w/ higher sides. $40 & it’s yours!
@drkknits @Yarna_ So am I going to have to yell at some spinners to get in? Because I have no problem with that.
If you’re at the Easter Show today, stop in and say hi! I’ll be at the Guild Display in the Arts & Crafts pavilion.
Me and @Yarna_, workin’ the Guild stand at the Show! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 http://t.co/BHCKmPSn
Eek. Glass panel on Ceramics display gave way as a kid pushed on it. Major crash. Hope no exhibits broke!
No naked marquetry this year?! Woodworkers, I am disappoint.
Holy cow. Some girl had the RAS track me down. She wants to buy my socks. Quoted $250. She is undeterred. YOWZA!
It *is* possible to eat #paleo at the Show, though I had to search a bit. Garlic Kebab Plate. Yum! (See, @bezthomas!) http://t.co/IlMQ3UJO
@RoseRed_Shoes I told her to email me after I’d thought about it. @Yarna_ thinks I should take her up on it!
@laimelde Haha, not anytime soon.
@witty_knitter @randomknits @Kat13v I got on my metaphorical soapbox. @Yarna_ was most amused. π
Me and my second place socks today! @ Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 http://t.co/9SVvUANI
@jenbishopsydney We are buying that exact set! Hope they aren’t sold out in a few weeks…
@Yarna_ Oh no! What was it??
@jenbishopsydney Wait, what?! Saw sign that sofa sale starts on Apr 19. But chair is on sale now?? Which IKEA??
@jenbishopsydney This was sign at Homebush a few weeks ago. Hmm, website doesn’t mention sale now? http://t.co/a44iTBJI
@jenbishopsydney Hm. If this is just a special Easter sale, might have to go over there on Monday!

Braved the Showbag pavilion. Nathan – you owe me. Big time.

@Bells_G I am commenting right now. Another one who doesn’t understand why women have to be the one to change. I never considered it.
@Bells_G I like the lady who says she’ll be happy for daughters to marry and change their names… but no mention of sons. EXACTLY MY POINT.
For the record, Snook and I debated on changing both our names to something new, but SNOWARD didn’t sound very good.
@AusVintageGrrl I hope I’m not contributing to feeling bad. Didn’t mean to attack you. There are legit reasons for it. Just not all, for me.
@Bells_G @AusVintageGrrl Marriages are fine. It’s most WEDDINGS that I think are a giant, patriarchal crock. But that’s for another day. π
@witty_knitter Haha, Westward is brilliant! I’m going to start calling you the Madames Westward now. π
@witty_knitter I don’t speak your funny frog talk! I’m a MERKIN; it’s in the Constitution!
@richbuggy Heh. I actually like that one! It looks kinda futuristic. π
I bought another box of Licorette. I’m actually enjoying its medicinal quality. What’s the next step on the road to Licorice Appreciation?
@squozen But what type is best? I don’t wanna eat crap licorice.
@carbolicious Hey stranger! Not a licorice fan? Me neither, but this stuff is strangely addictive. Plus it totally KILLS hunger cravings.
Massive triple batch of Hearty Pumpkin Chili in the slow cooker at home. I can’t wait to lift that lid tonight…
@Bells_G I will be posting recipe to Facebook soon. I need y’all to “like” it so I can win some free veggies from Food Connect. π
@drkknits You LIKE it because you LOVE me. That’s how these popularity contests work. π
Trying to convince the Snook to go on a CHEESEMAKING COURSE with me: http://bit.ly/ghY9Gq. CHEESE!

@Bournetoknit But you’re in France! You don’t need to make cheese; you have AWESOME CHEESE all around you! #jealous
I bought a new coat at the Gap. Please tell me it looks okay! It was on sale. π http://t.co/JgN8C80
@witty_knitter Fat Duck! Fat Duck! (Well, it doesn’t hurt to try.)
Glad you all like the coat! Wanted to canvass opinion in the store, but Westfield CBD has the *worst* phone reception.
This is the trench I got: http://gap.us/gyCvh8. Of course, this being Australia and all, I paid twice the US cost. π
The Hearty Pumpkin Chili was good. I ate way too much. Ucccchhhhhhh….
@thezedmiester Yep, still there. It’s good – I cannibalized your desk to make a big ol’ L-shaped office space for myself. π
Massive triple batch of Hearty Pumpkin Chili in the slow cooker at home. I can’t wait to lift that lid tonight…
Easy 3:1 R/W before work. Thighs still sore from squats on Wed.
Whoa! You can cook perfect, easy-peel soft- and hard-boiled eggs in the pressure cooker. I’ll have to try that.
@that_alison Me, I elicited some stakeholder requirements, refined the roadmap, and descoped some non-essential functionality. WE SUCK.
@AusVintageGrrl It’s good, isn’t it?! Are you a pro user?
@bellsknits Suddenly the gift we left you feels a little unoriginal! π
Seen in bargain bin at Broadway: http://twitpic.com/1dsoei. Thought they were Oreos then did a double-take. RECREOS?! *shudder*
@bellsknits We had it recommended by a sommelier at a fancy place years ago, and Rodd always remembered it. We’re saving ours too!
Rude person on bus won’t scoot over. So I am deliberately NOT moving into empty seat. Passive-aggressive war!
@stufromoz On the plus side, righteous indignation makes for good gaming. I just set a Bejeweled Blitz high score. π
