One Thousand Gifts-22

Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.09.2006

I’m participating in the “One Thousand Gifts” list from Christian Women Online. Click on the picture to find out more about it.

551. Heather moves in 3 days!
552. I found a great article, Sex is Not About Waiting by Michael Lawrence.
553. I was really excited because I got the link to switch to the Beta Blogger system, which allows labels and private blogs, but it turns out my blog account is too large to transfer yet. Hopefully soon.
554. I had a really good time with God yesterday in my Blog Bible Study in Isaiah.
555. I made some yummy potstickers (the frozen kind)
556. I exercised yesterday! I had a good upper body workout.
557. I made a eucalyptus infusion. Now I have plenty for the upcoming sinus headache season.
558. Added bonus—I made the infusion in a large glass measuring cup and set it in my office so that I could smell the eucalyptus while it was steeping.
559. There was lots of lovely lavender in my garden for me to harvest yesterday
560. The Candy Cane tea from Adagio is pretty good so far, especially with some sugar added. I think next time I’ll steep it a little longer and make it a bit stronger.
561. Update: made a little stronger, it’s fabulous!
562. I found two little strawberries on my strawberry plant yesterday
563. Just looking at my new stamps—even though I haven’t assembled them yet—makes me happy.
564. I got a new book for my blog book giveaway
565. I have THREE books to give away for my blog book giveaway on Monday
566. In my office, I’m surrounded by books. Ah, that makes me happy.
567. It was kind of amusing the other day that the memory card on my PDA was filled with all my ebooks so I had to erase some to add more.
568. I got a great idea for a new birthday card to make.
569. I’m almost done with my novel!
570. I’m glad I tried writing this without a scene index, if only to show me that it’s worth the time for me to make the index first.
571. My online buddy Mark Goodyear has made me laugh (yet again) with his rant about why men bloggers can be just as thankful as women bloggers.
572. I’m so glad I started knitting. It totally helps me focus and think when I’m writing and get stuck, plus it’s productive—my scarf is getting longer!
573. I was able to use my new laptop today—in front of the TV! I wanted to figure out when a particular episode of CSI Miami originally aired in relation to other episodes, so while in front of the TV, I surfed onto imdb.com and found out.
574. Captain Caffeine gave me a nice massage yesterday with only minimal whining needed.
575. I remembered to back up my files yesterday!

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Year of the Dog serial novel, chapter 5

I’m posting a Humorous Christian Romantic Suspense serial novel here on my blog! Year of the Dog is a (second) prequel to my Warubozu Spa Chronicles series. Year of the Dog serial novel by Camy Tang Marisol Mutou, a professional dog trainer, is having a bad year. While renovating her new dog kenneling and training facility, she needs to move in with her disapproving family, who have always made her feel inadequate—according to them, a job requiring her to be covered in dog hair and slobber is an embarrassment to the family. She convinces her ex-boyfriend to take her dog for a few months … but discovers that his brother is the irate security expert whose car she accidentally rear-ended a few weeks earlier. Ashwin Keitou has enough problems. His aunt has just shown up on his doorstep, expecting to move in with him, and he can’t say no because he owes her everything—after his mother walked out on them, Aunt Nell took in Ashwin and his brother and raised them in a loving Christ
