Love them both, but again, too specific. I don't want to lock myself in to just aqua.
We are celebrating our 12th anniversary today. At home, though. Fears of Coronavirus and what not! My husband wants to keep our daughter home from school this week. Many cases have come up in a nearby District causing panic. I just informed the school she would be absent for the rest of the week.

SCM, that sounds awesome! I'm happy you spent quality time with your sisters. That's always a good thing!
The Sisters, not my sisters. Sisters are basically nuns who are allowed to leave the convent.
But, in a way, I guess they are “my” sisters. One of them is really close to my family. I used to take her to Disneyland and out to dinner pretty often. She is quite fascinated by mystery shopping, as she took a vow of poverty. I told her not to look at menu prices or at the check, ever.
From aqua to the age of Aquarius...I know, it's too long.

She had to know what you meant, you wrote in your post about a convent and all that. I am sure she didn't miss that info.

I thought so too
I am not necessarily an extravagant person or one who can't appreciate the qualities of living a simple life, but I could never align myself with being at poverty level on purpose. I was pretty poor in my late teens/early 20s as a college student, but I took to heart the "I will never go hungry again!" mantra of Scarlett O'Hara, LOL!

I thought they were her siblings who were in a convent.

Work and unexpected (but welcome) extra work times three. Errands. Sort something, clean something, and cook something.

Yeah it's too long but it does give me an idea. Feral Aquarian? I like the feral because it kind of describes where I find this stuff. Out in the boonies, small towns in appalachia. Not very civilized. Aquarian because it speaks to a set of traits that eclectic people tend to have.

I like Rustic better than Feral. Feral is wild, yes, but Rustic is more easily understood...
True, but to me rustic means furniture. I'm going to have lots of glass probably. Anyway I already put the name in so I could create the shop. I can change it later when I think of the perfect name. Now I can start listing things.
I got my taxes done today. I'm getting a hefty refund, and am celebrating with a homemade dirty martini. It tastes bad. Too much olive juice.

Nope. I thought you might be confused. They are friends. We always say The Sisters or address them by their name this way:
I went to lunch with Sister Honny Brown.
The only thing I think about when I hear “feral” is “feral cats”. Not a positive association.@JASFLALMT wrote:

Some years ago there was a thread started here in General Chat that forum members posted their Etsy shop links. There was quite a few if I recall. I thought about setting one up. There is so much of the same thing on there now that I wonder if having a unique name or specializing in one thing will make you stand out more. I dunno.

Add more vodka!

What about aqua as a color in the title or background? Stylized wild cats with aqua fur and purple stripes? So many options...

I only bought one of the airplane bottles. No more vodka!

I have a list of things that I promised myself that I would do when the dust of February had all settled. So, in addition to some shops close to home, I will chips away at the list. Make an Amazon return; clear out my car; car wash; find more storage in my kitchen and dining room cabinets; pedicure, for starters.

The usual: work, sort something, clean something, and get rid of a boatload of something. We have a few errands in between those fun activities. Oh, boy!

The winds have died down and the sky is mostly sunny and about 55 degrees already. What I'll be doing after a quick round of housekeeping is sitting out on the deck and watching the trees grow.
I did a couple of cooking projects. The last one was a kabocha squash (AKA Japanese pumpkin), which I sliced, baked off, and put into the freezer for future snacks. Then I decided to boil the seeds in salted water and bake them to crunch them up. They're supposed to be more future snacks, but I can't stop eating them warm from the oven :-)

My windowsill seeds haven't sprouted yet. I planted them in the middle of February. This week has been in the 60s.

Watching Monk on DVD and planning on sending dear daughter back to school tomorrow. Thankfully, cases have not escalated in the county. Hopefully, all will be well soon.
Did a bar shop and had my first ever caipirinha, which Google tells me is the national cocktail of Brazil. It was very tasty :-)
