I'm trying to listen to music here

Some of you might disagree since it's country music I"m trying to listen to, but hey, I'm still trying to listen to it. It's the "100 Best Country Songs" on the Country Music Channel (Yes, it's a really slow day on TV and I'm working on a new scroll) and most of what they're playing really IS good. Like Make the World Go Away. And something by Patsy Cline (who cares which one?) Anyway, it's one of the few times I begrudge the fellow upstairs his guitar and singing, SHUT UP! I've heard Tequila Sunrise so many times I can't bear it. I haven't heard Aaaaaam-eeeeeee, whatchu gonna dooooo? lately, thank all that is holy. I was about to stomp upstairs and ask him which Amy did he want to know about? and then answer his question.

Miranda has been pulling a cute trick today. I've been working on the calligraphy for a new scroll, and she's decided that when I'm at the drafting board she wants me to hold her. When I'm at the computer, she's happy to curl up with Carmen or go play. As soon as I start work, though, she's back. For some strange reason, just having a kitten near an open bottle of ink makes me nervous. Wonder why that would be? Erk. I think I'm going to go with the black scroll with the grisaille. You saw that coming, didn't you? Yeah, I'm predicatable that way. I sure hope the recipient likes it.

Well, Miranda has gone back to sleep.... I'm going to try to sneak back to the drafting board. Shhhh.

Kitten magnet

Nope. The drafting board is a kitten magnet of the first order. No more calligraphy for a while.
