02/22/2006: "textile merit badge"

did you know that the boy scouts have a textile merit badge? they learn about textile careers, they find samples of silk and wool and tencel. they have to learn vocab like shuttle, spindle, warp, sliver, staple, greige goods! i even had to look some of them up. why? because i had my first group of boyscouts this week, learning to make felt. it was a hoot and i had a lot of fun. i think they did too.

this week seems to have lasted about 2 weeks worth so far. don't know why. i have watched 0 olympics in the last 2 days because i keep having meetings to go to. i've had a little overdose of caffeine from drinking coffee at said meetings and i have about 5 more to go this week. then i have to find time to go to the bookstore and stock up on reading material for my weekend of sitting and reading by the pool in orlando. for now, i have to go do laundry or i will have nothing to wear in orlando.
