free word processor!

i just found a free online download of a word processor! for all those of you out there who aren't willing to fork out $500 for microsoft office, you can download Open Office at www.openoffice.org and find that it is comparable to the MS version! and the beauty behind it is that it;s FREE!

i am feeling really stressed out wight now about school. i have a million things due this week, and i just now got started on all of it. i was freaking out yesterday about the fact that i didnt have any word capabilities on my computer, and all my assignments have to be typed. happy fun times! so now i have open office, and that worry has abated...

tip to all the crocheters out there... make sure that the tails of any granny squares you make are SECURELY fastened... my granny square purse tried to unravel itself yesterday... good thing i caught it! if this happens to you, you can take a strand of yarn (preferably the same yarn you used for that round) and recrochet the piece that is unraveling. if you are lucky, and the back of the item is not visible for all to see, you can tie the strand in a knot on the back, then weave all the loose ends back in so that the fix is (almost) invisible. clear as mud? good.

our weekly stitch and bitch was held last night. good times, my friend brought two bags of yarn for all to rifle through and plunder... just what i need, more yarn!:) i suppose i will figure out something useful for all of it! i want to make a reminants blanket where i take all the little scraps and 5-50 yard pieces i have and try to meld them all together in a nice blankie... sure, that's gonna happen.

anyone reading this is more than welcome to join our S&B on thursday nights at the flightpath coffee shop. it's at the corner of duval and 51st in austin, right next to the arabic bazaar. we are there from about 7:30 ish until 10:30 ish outside on the patio. please, join!
