So I have been remiss, I know. I’ve been busy and blogging takes a tad bit more effort when I have to skirt around security issues at work which, alas, were “lifted” magically. I’m not going to ask, I’m not going to complain. I’m just going to blog.
This card here is going to get on its way to a friend soon. Bringing well wishes, prayers and a warm hug to boot. I wish I could deliver it personally, but sometimes you need to keep away and just let the card do the talking. My friendship with this lady has been mostly on paper literally the last couple of years. We have kept the postal service on its toes, although I had given them a break the past few months. She is also one of a handful of people I make sure I see whenever I land in Manila.
Well, I am back. I’m glad it’s Friday again. I’m going to try and catch up with the Newspaper Collage Postcards which I haven’t done for most of the week. I also uploaded a tutorial or how-to on my postcards in GothamChick if any one is interested.
A sad thing just happened a few blocks away from where I work. And to think I had just passed that very same area around 40 minutes before this shooting around the Empire State Building took place. I have nothing more to say about it at this point except a silent prayer for all. Thank you, though, to those who messaged me on Facebook, via text and e-mail.
I’m thinking if I get to get out of the office early enough, I’ll make a stop at the Columbus Circle branch of Michael’s. That would make two boys happy since it means I won’t have to make the stop during our errand run this weekend. I am always grateful that they indulge me even if sometimes the lines get really long and it takes me forever and a day to get whatever it is I’m getting 40% off or what not.
It’s really quite a ways away from me, but a detour worth making given that polymer clay is currently at 4 for $5 again. I try to stock up on polymer clay when that happens because I want to get it at its cheapest. (The economics of maintaining a hobby.) But again, it depends on what time I can make it out of here in Midtown where I am.
I’m also thinking I’ll just head straight home. I have a burger dinner date with the son — home-made angus beef burgers from Pat LaFrieda of FreshDirect. Yum! Time for me to go.. my weekend just started.
