My Testimonials

March 26, 2008
What a storyteller! Mishy brings teh funny to the tales, for sure. Also important in being a good regaler are other qualities such as humility, righteous indignation, compassion, and the ability to be self-effacing. Another chacteristic that I value highly is a love of sushi. Bravo, Mish!

Oh, and? Mishy can flip you off eloquently. How many people do you know who can do that?

Mishy is awesome. She is someone that I can go to for questions about seam allowances, relationships, lesser used signs, and more. She presents as cute and scattered, but has more insight that most people I know. Mishy braves the wilds and colds of Alaska to teach young children dirty words, wields a camera ruthlessly and can cook enough latkas to feed a horde. She's a keeper!

Mishy's spirit and energy makes me smile.
Her blogs are quippy with sincerity and zest.
More Mishy's in the world would bring more happiness
and less grumpiness to check out lines at the grocery store.
I think Mishy is a super-woman and you should too.

Mishy inspires me. She is spunky and insightful, with a wit that you can't help but admire. You can actually watch her, even from afar, make the world a better place for her friends and family. She appreciates things; big things, little things, and especially wacky things. She reminds me everyday in her blogs about why we all log on to tribe...for a sense of community with our community. I don' know her half as well as I should, but on days when she can't blog or post here on tribe, I miss her...I doubt I'm alone in that.

Mishy is a great person. She has the best stories of anyone I know, and when she tells them, people listen carefully, because there is always a good lesson, or a good punch line, at the end. Mishy's got her stuff together, knows how to navigate the coastline of life, and is a strong, thoughtful anchor for her friends. And she knows how to tear up the miles on a hike. I am thankful for all my friends, but I am especially thankful for Mishy.

Her royal blogness

I think that if I ever get to pick between being a good witch or a bad witch, that I would be a good witch.

First of all, there's the glitter, and the poofy dress and so forth.

But mostly it's because of the magic fairy princess wand, that gives off magic fairy princess dust. So if I was in a good mood, I could walk around bestowing people with magic. And if people sassed me, I could hurl magic fair princess dust at them, which I Imagine to have the same properties as shrapnel when moving at high speeds.

So I would be a good witch with STREET CRED.

There are many different kinds of love:

The kind of love between a mother and her child.
The kind of love between a wife and husband
The kind of love between friends
And the kind of love between a woman and a key lime bar at Marty's New York Deli.

These are my two thoughts as I make a wedding gift and a baby gift:

The first is that I have this book called "manipulating Fabric" which lists like a gazillion things that you can do with a piece of fabric to make it purdy and more craft-a-licious. Looking through it brings a rush of crafty-feelings not unlike crafty-lust, hense the book's nickname: crafty-porn. But like porn, I could never actually duplicate the exotic turns and combinations illustrated on the pages. Also, like in porn, the attampt to do so simply causes swearing, ripping of fabric, many loads of laundry, and an iron (well, most porn doesn't include an iron, but I'm sure that SOMEWHERE there is porn about using an iron.)

But then it hit me: Like porn, the book is not meant to be mimiced, it is not a guide to what you should do in REAL LIFE, it's mean tto be read to put you in the MOOD to do other stuff, and that made me feel better.

My second thought is that I have two sewing machines. The first one I got at wal-mart for $75, and the second I got at the hoity toity sewing machine place for $1000 (and it was on sale). Sure, the fancy one can embroidery anything downloaded form the internets, and sure, it has all the bells and wistles, but today I was reminded how I really just like the other one. Like I drop it all the time (one from a large height) I neevr take care of it, or anything, and it's never ONCE given me trouble. One this important part bent, and I just hit it as hard as I could in the other direction, and it was fixed. In exchange fior it's fortitude and loyality, it has my undieing loyality. Liek if soemone insulted my mother, I would be all "Yeah, she kinda is." But if you insulted Ol' Betty, I would be all "TAKE THAT BACK YOU MOFO!".

But fancy-smancy sewing machine works well, but one little nock or something, and I have to open it up and readjust it. It even needs to be SERVICED to run prioperly, like my profs always told me to do, but which i have since egnored on ol' Betty. Also, all the bells and whistles don';t do anything that you can't do by hand quickly. Like it has an automatic threader that takes like an hour and a PhD in electical engenerring to use. After sewing for this long, I can thread a machione needle (which is held in place) but just taking the thread, and pushing it through the needle. And it does good work, but with a super lotta fuss. Like whoever designed the application that runs it computer wasn't Rob-like, it was soem old lady who had a stick (or a knitting needle) up her bum.

Anyway, I use both. Old Betty to sew, and Fancy-Smancy Sewing machine to embroider.

But really I like Ol' Betty.

This is a photo of my first chicken. They have gotten much better since, and the legs are made differently now:
