It definitely feels like Monday today. That’s the only problem with traveling over the weekend – I feel like I need a weekend to get ready to go back to work. Let’s see…I woke up with a scratchy throat (allergies, I hope), couldn’t find warm enough clothes (it’s cold out there!), couldn’t find my keys, [...]
So, if you were going to steal a tire off of someone’s car, would you be nice enough to replace it with your spare, and leave their hubcap? My brother went to head home for his first long weekend from school, and found that someone had done just that. I guess college parking lots are [...]
I’m starting to feel adrift in an ever-growing pile of started projects and stash. This is not necessarily a bad thing! It just means I’ll have to keep track of things so I don’t forget which projects have deadlines. Deb is the greatest knitting buddy ever – she stopped by Sit & Knit last night [...]
Band starts tonight. I should be excited, but I’m just worried…I’ve only played for a grand total of maybe 2 hours since the July 3rd concert. Ugh. I also had a “duck foot” added to my horn in the off-season. It’s supposed to transfer the weight of the horn from your pinky finger to the [...]
I changed the order my links display in the sidebar and added some new ones. There are probably more I should add, but since I was working on it late last night, my brain stopped working before I finished. So, does it count as starting a new project if you just swatch for it? What [...]
Makes for good football-watching entertainment! My cousins brought over their golden, Casper, and their black lab-mix, Macy, for a play-date. We figured we had 240 lbs. worth of dog-bodies in the house. Black and gold fur everywhere! All the dogs got along quite well, except that Macy and Murphy had a couple of little spats. [...]
…Yarn shopping, that is! After all, I finished a project! I actually finished Janda at Sit & Knit on Thursday, but I had to wait until daylight and free time coincided to have Denis take pictures. He’s still not so sure about this two color thing, but I like it! Of course, I celebrated finishing [...]
Since I refuse to believe that at 27 I can pass for 35, it must be that liquor stores don’t proof if you pick out an expensive enough bottle of wine? I mean, I know I didn’t have any makeup on, but…really, do I look 35 already?!? Anyway, more thanks to Peppermint Tina and Jo [...]
Yippee! I’m finishing Janda just in time – the new Knitty is out! Well, OK, I’m not quite done yet…one more side/sleeve seam to sew and 9 more inches to knit on the hood. (I’ve been doing the icky finishing work in between knitting the hood, so when I’m done with the knitting I’ll be [...]
What’s this?!? Both sleeves of Janda blocking on the guest room floor! Yay! I spent all day Sunday watching football and knitting. At first I had to force myself to work only on the sleeve, but then as I got closer and closer to the end, I couldn’t put it down! All in all, I [...]
