Sometimes you get what you need

You do, you really do. And I'm feeling much better.

Yesterday I had the enormous pleasure of spending the day with my very old friend Karen that I've known since I was 12 (so, 14 years, which is..scary). She's been living in Manchester for a while now, and, for some reason or another, I lost touch with her. I'm definitely amending that mistake now. She is a lovely, lovely person (the text on the website is silly and not really that representative of who she is), and I missed her, and our times in school.

Also, today we got the surprise that we're spending the next weekend in Portugal. Happy, happy Vanda! We're going to celebrate Cisco's Grandmother's 80th Birthday, flying from Manchester on Thursday and returning on Sunday. It'll be a very short visit, and Thursday will be pretty awful (we're getting a plane to Faro, then getting on a bus for fours hours to get to Lisbon), but the storm currently raging over Manchester makes that seem very unimportant right now. I'm taking Sonya with me on my bag (my very tiny VAIO), our DVD series, and my graphic, pixel-by-pixel work to be done for the Men's T-shirts for Paraphernalia.  That will probably wile away the hours nicely. 

I hope that when I come back I can finally upload a number of things for Etsy, and officially open Paraphernalia as well. I also have to post the ornaments of the swap before I go, but they're all finished and ready to go.

Anybody want anything from Portugal?
