I spent an hour and a half yesterday making a miniature backpack out of felt for my stuffed wool bunny. I feel dirty, and yet sort of proud of myself because it turned out really well, complete with a button so the flap stays closed. Bellan jokingly told me to make it, which he now denies and claims it was all my idea.

I also wasted at least 4 hours yesterday playing Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. It's a farming game, and possibly more addictive than Tetris. Good thing I have rechargeable batteries, or else I'd be singlehandedly supporting the Energizer company.

I'm less than 200 pages away from finishing Helter Skelter, woo! I'm still enjoying it, but I just want to finish the damned thing. I don't really want to start a new book before we got to Marathon, so I'll probably reread The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery.
