Why do humans enjoy it when cats purr? I love the responses. Both of our cats will purr when they’re feeling contented and cozy. I often think about the purported healing effect, especially when I’m feeling sick or lousy. (I think I first learned about it Oryx and Crake, but I didn’t realize at the time there was some scientific basis for the idea.)
Free Sundress Pattern to sew. That looks great! Very pretty and simple to make. I’m going to download and save it for spring.
Woodgrain Socks. I wonder if you could knit those.
Jumping for a good cause
I got an email over the weekend from my 7-year-old brother Joey telling me about that he’ll be jump roping at school this week to raise money for The American Heart Association. If you’re willing and able, he’s got a fundraising page where you can donate. (Unfortunately the credit card form only accepts payment from American addresses so I’ve just sent my donation to Mom via PayPal. If any other “furriners” want to help, let me know and I can give you her PayPal info.) Good luck, Joey! It’s awesome that you’re doing such a nice thing.
Dork Yearbook. Oh man. The Snook and I have SO MANY possible contributions for that site.
@Timmay83 Look for my jumper! Cabled grey one with a red ribbon on the front. (Strung up with fishing line, the bastards.) 🙂
Mega productive. Got heaps done on M&S website, knitted, cleaned house, visited w/ guild cabal. Now: rain, wine, & Snook’s beer bread. YUM.

Hm. Went to buy 1st Diet Coke in months and learned price had dropped. It’s like they WANT me to drink it.

Creme That Egg! Awesome Rube Goldberg machine some guy created as part of a contest. My favorite part is how it’s basically all made out of cardboard, books, and trash he found lying around his apartment. (Link courtesy of Max.)

Went for a 5K training run. Can’t let my Bay Run team down! Which reminds me – me, @Timmay83, @shanea, and Stef need a team name. Ideas?
@mrs_sockvictim Got to chapter 2 of Red Mars last night. It’s REALLY good! Starts you in an exciting bit then jumps back several years.
Productive Easter. Ran, knitted, & got loads done on TC site. (Glad I decided to go back to osCommerce 2.2.) Last day to sleep in…

My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
