First off, welcome and thank-you to my newest follower, Laurel! :) it's great to have another "real-world" friend along for the fun!
We delivered the hapless goat to the buck this evening. Quite the escapade: tried to figure out how to transport a goat all the way to Monroe in a car. The metal washtub proving too small, we resorted to lining the back seat of the Focus with a tarp and inducing goatie to lie down in the back with me sitting next to her. It was a long, long trip but no slip-ups...except that my dad put the rope/leash on top of the car and we drove off without retrieving it. It is somewhere on the highway...but that is as nothing compared to some of the things we have lost off of car roofs ;)
Culinary class was remarkably scattered. To begin with Nate was in a good mood and sort of bounced around. He sets down in his chair and scoots in beside me, making funny noises the while; I give him a sidelong glance and we both crack up. Good times.
Took a test but that was only a short while of our 1 1/2 hour class. Finished up a herb-spread we made yesterday. Another girl and I who'd missed a lab earlier in the week went off in search of apples with which to make our "apple-birds". That search led us to the ceramics lab where one of the teachers was reputed to have large quantities of apples. Up to the jewelery-making room. Found the apple, and back through the rain to make our bird. You make little, successively-larger V-shaped cuts and slid them out, sort of, for wings and neck and such. Had to return it to the original donor who was much impressed :) even though the bird's head kept falling off. On the way back we skipped through the rain which was now falling in objectionable quantities.
Yah, good times. Also I did a facebook quiz which I deem worthy of posting here...warning, it's long :)

I've decided. I like you. My reasons for commenting on this post (in particular) are as follows:
1) Friday the twenty third of October the year of our Lord two thousand nine, is not near or far, kind of the middle, hopefully, of now here.
2) No comments. No one, but you, is listening. Coincidently, what is "hemp milk"?
3) Trenchcoats draw the mind to the mysterious but also are an emblem to many of my generation of tragedy and horror. Are you familiar with the phrase "Trenchcoat Mafia"?
I realize you were probably six or seven. But I thought you should know if you don't.
Oh... I was right. Six? I thought you were older, like 19. My bad. I never can tell ages, especially of people I have never met. That was ten years ago?
They banned trenchcoats in school, a sad day. Most schools still have that ban in place.
Columbine, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. School shooting. Two guys. Klebold and Harris, perhaps?
Well...*cough*. Apparently this was before SOMEBODY adjusted the settings on her blog so that all comments notify her with an email.
Hemp milk....heh. heh. heh. The hemp plant is a much-maligned and useful plant, whose seeds are a truly nourishing food [and free of hallucinogenic compounds]. Hemp milk, like almond milk or soymilk, is a slurry of these seeds in water. Quite tasty and full of protein, although it always leads to jokes from SOME of my friends...
And yes, I'm aware of the trenchcoat association. And regret it.
Although, they aren't banned at either of my schools, and I was rather shocked once to meet someone whose school DID ban them. I was probably about 6 at the time, yes. I do remember hearing about it at the time. May I just state, though, that I don't wear black leather trenchcoats, and I am not a guy, both of which facts apparently make me significantly less threatening or even claw-less.
