Updates~ Updates~

::Operation Domesticate Maggie Update::
XD I sewed on the pockets to my apron :3 and I sew straight \o/ only I pressed my seams kinda crookedly lol also I’m seriously thinking about buying one of the Bernina classroom machines >_> one of this is selling for $600, which seems like a lot but its a $900-$1,000 machine :3 plus I get a 20% discount so D:
and two of my baby plants aren’t doing so well ;_; the hyssop and echinacea :/ I think I might have watered too much >_> or the powdery mold that killed my rosemary cutting might have made them sick ;_; My yarrow was turning a funny yellow color but its getting its green color back >_> hopefully it’ll survive. If all else fails, I’ll buy a older plants on Saturday :3 our local nature center is having a plant sale, though its mostly California native plants XD :3 My ginger is doing really good though XD it would have grown by itself anyway lol Its one of the gingers from the store >_> mom forgot it was in the kitchen so it was sprouting anyway lol

::House Update::
So, anyone from AI will probably know I’ve been sealing the grout in our new house @_@ and we have lots of tile which = lots of grout sealing ;_; We finished the sealing the week before last I think. With the floor tile we had to let it cure for 24 hours, so we went back on Friday to clean up the excess sealer. When I went upstairs to do the bathroom floors I found ash ALL FREAKIN’ OVER THE BATHROOM!!! TT___TT Considering all the time I had spent cleaning then sealing then wiping down the sealer then doing the same to the floor I so wanted to cry when I saw that ;_;
For those of you that dont know, the ash came from the fires here in So-Cal. I think theres like 4 in LA county, 3 in Riverside/San Bernadino County, and 4 in San Diego (give or take a few fires) >_> and the house is like on the border of Riverside and San Diego counties, though not really near the fire enough to threaten it, thankfully. What happened was the last time we were in the house to seal the floors I forgot to close the windows ;_; so in came the ash.

Speaking of the fires >_> they said on the news that the Santa Ana’s are blowing all the smoke and ash to Long Beach x_x apparently its made our air the worst outside of the fire zones. No wonder, I’ve been tearing up, coughing, and sniffling all weekend ;_; my sinuses are acting up bad

Heeeere Yarrow Yarrow Yarrow~

I.N.V.U. by Kim Kang Won

Soooooo~ Background on this story, Kim Kang Won took a hiatus on with this manhwa in order to start a new series, Queens Knight. In interviews she had mention she planned to eventually continue the series, and after >_> *counts* four (roughly hehe @_@) years she finally did. Last month, after a very long wait for us I.N.V.U. fans, the fourth volume finally was released by TokyoPop. It takes off right where Vol. 3 left off, and makes me very happeh (;_; <– happeh tears) becuse I’m a Sey-Siho fan :3 *hinthintwinkwinksqueel* Anyway~ if you like the series, buy it \o/ lol or just check it out at the library. >_> Expect more volumes to come also :3

Weeeee~ I just found out like last week that Kiss For My Prince by Hee-Eun Kim is being published in the US lol, soooo, of course I had to have the first volume out :3 *does a happeh dance* and am still looking for the second D: It’s been out since ‘06 but I haven’t ever seen it in my local manga/manhwa haunts ;_; woe is meh
