Tonight, I finished a project that has taken me ten years to complete. Honest! This is a relic from my junior year of college. I’ve been slowly chipping away at the mess that I call my craft room, and I found this project only 150 stitches short of being done. Actually, I’ve found this project [...]
You know it’s time for bed when you’re just sort of randomly skipping around the internet, and you try to remember what you’re looking for, and all you can think of is nice soft pillows.
Well, we finally made it to a baseball game – the last afternoon home game of the season! It was a really nice day for a game, and Carrie had fun – mainly watching people rather than the game. She did get a little upset whenever the whole place would erupt in cheers, and she [...]
We had a busy day, and Carrie didn’t nap – despite being given several opportunities – so I put her to bed a little on the early side. Unfortunately, if I’d just put her to bed 10 minutes earlier she would have avoided falling and getting a huge bump on her forehead. She had reached [...]

You walk mostly when you have something in your hands or [...]
There’s been a (new?) cat hanging around our place lately. Personally, I don’t care – I generally like cats. However. The dogs – well, mainly Molly – think that cats are an extreme threat to our general well-being, and will not hesitate to loudly inform us that there is yet another C.A.T. threat outside. Aside [...]
Devan is on the needles. Project page and pictures…tomorrow? Maybe. Suffice it to say, it’s incredibly cute! And I was ->this
Nope, I’m not knitting. I’m procrastinating. I hate second sleeves. And I can’t find the pattern for my sock – which is a lame excuse, because it only needs a couple more inches of ribbing on the cuff and that really doesn’t require a pattern. But then again, it’s the first sock and I can’t [...]
