Carolyn had her first taste of rice cereal today. It was pretty watery – essentially I gave her rice-flavored milk with a spoon. I followed a suggestion I had read to mix 1 tablespoon of cereal with 4 tablespoons of milk, but I stopped after I mixed in 3 tablespoons of milk because it was [...]
Anything Goes is done! It was fantastic! I skipped out on the cast party though – I think I’m getting too old to stay out that late… Besides, the fewer adults there, the happier the kids will be, I’m sure! I’m so touched by all the little gifties I got from the directors and the [...]
A new Apple Store is going to open in the mall near me. And not a moment too soon…look: That’s not an Apple computer she’s using! My parents and I don’t see eye-to-eye on the whole issue of computer platforms. They blame Denis for the fact that I prefer Apple to Microsoft. Not only did [...]
The show was fantastic tonight! I love being in the orchestra, I love being on the other side of it all. Don’t get me wrong – in high school I was absolutely in love with the acting and singing part, but this is way better. I am so pumped right now, I can’t imagine how [...]
The new Knitty is out! I haven’t been tremendously inspired to knit lately, but I have to knit the following: Cambio, Cecillia, and Wheelie. Fortunately, the show opens tonight, so after Saturday I’ll have a little more free time to knit!

As a young child – maybe 6 or 7 years old – I distinctly remember understanding what “not to be removed under penalty of law” meant, but not knowing what a “consumer” was. So I was horrified when the tag came off of my new mattress while I was, um, just looking at it. Really, [...]
The weekend after Carolyn was born, Denis bought me Myst IV: Revelation. I haven’t started it yet – actually, I haven’t even opened it yet. But tonight I don’t feel like knitting or reading before bed, so I think I’ll go ahead and load it. The question is, do I have enough self-control to just [...]
I don’t know if it’s just the weather or an actual cold (I don’t have time to be sick, therefore I’m not) but I have so much icky drainage I feel awful today. Plus it’s been a rainy, cold, gray day. Not very inspiring. We had a great few days with Denis’ parents – Carolyn [...]
