That&#8217;s pretty obvious.  I also really like to use the Internet.  Put the two together, and you&#8217;ve got quilting websites, like mine for example.  I&#8217;m wondering where the other people like me are lurking.  Today I strolled over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stargazey.com\/home\/index.htm\">Stargazey Quilts Online<\/a> and I had honestly thought it was a neat site at first: there are some neat patterns, some cool pictures, and it&#8217;s another person with a new quilting idea, which in my opinion is always appreciated.  But then I read on, and the site starts to annoy me a bit.  They think it&#8217;s quirky to end all of their pattern names and ideas with a &#8220;Z,&#8221; like &#8220;appliquez&#8221; and &#8220;samplerz.&#8221;  That&#8217;s just not cool.  It&#8217;s like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homestarrunner.com\/\">Homestar Runner<\/a> e-mail when Strongbad does the band names.  So please, come up with some not annoying quilting websitez.  (I had a fish in college that I named Jaw-z.  He was a rapper fish.  He also didn&#8217;t live very long.)<br \/>\nSpeaking of pets, we&#8217;re getting a dog!  Kasey the four-year-old Golden Retriver stayed with us this weekend, and she&#8217;s coming to live with us in a week or two.  Her family is moving to Taiwan, so we&#8217;re adopting her.  Yay!<br \/>\nAnd in other good (but not <i>too<\/i> good&#8211;I don&#8217;t want to get worked up over this one either) news, I got a call today while I was at work, about an interview for the Communications Representative position with the Department of Agriculture.  I can&#8217;t put into full words just how much I want this job.  It&#8217;s not just that I want to leave the exciting world of Fox 47 this time, but I <u><i><b>REALLY<\/b><\/i><\/u> want this job.  Really.  Keep your fingers crossed that good things do happen to people who get passed over for other crappy jobs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I really like to quilt.
