*warning, no knitting content here, only read if you’re interested in detailed minutae of my life* *oh, also, sorry for the lack of pictures. My camera is on the fritz* Good grief, what a busy month I’ve had. We moved on July 15th, and that went well, but since we’re moving from a Really Really…

You know that good old adage ‘may you live in interesting times’? I think I may have taken the interesting times thing a little too far (or maybe not realized that it was a curse). I had a couple of really super lousy weeks at work so I’m looking to update my resume (even though…

OK, all you fabulous raffle prize winners, your stuff is In The Mail! Thanks again for your support, and of course for everyone else’s support as well! If you get your gift and think ‘that’s odd, she didn’t put in a note’, you can think one of two things. Either I’m just not a note…

Whew. It’s Friday. I got to see Star Wars yesterday morning and it was fun (not fantastic, but fun). I won’t ruin the story for you on the off chance that you’ve been lost in Antarctica for the last 30 years… but it was entertaining, and taking a few hours off to play hookie was…

This has been a good day. I have had a very stressful couple of weeks, which has been compounded by the fact that I apparently forgot that I turn into a raving lunatic when I don’t exercise. Sometimes I fear that I am not very bright. Finally, this morning, I took a long, hard look…

As I’ve mentioned, I live in an area with an inordinate number of LYS’s. And yet my attempts to locate an Addi Turbo in something larger than 40″ have been met with cheerfully delivered, chirpy answers which basically boil down to ‘you silly girl, nobody needs anything that long!’ The Yarn Place, one of my…

Happy Monday everyone… It was a very busy weekend, running around to beach bonfire parties and summer camp open houses and all kinds of other mania, leaving precious little time for knitting, alas. The broad ripple socks, I’m sorry to say, are still only about 2-1/2 inches long and not worthy of a picture yet.…

OK, where did it go? I had a skein of silk yarn for Susan’s Hallowig. You’ve seen pictures, I know I had it around here somewhere… where could it be? I’ve checked my office (which is really more of a craft room – I work from my recliner in the family room). I’ve checked my…

Well, it was called the half marathon but I only did the 10K course. Still, I managed 13:58 miles which I’m very happy about! We did 15’s on the way out (until the turnaround) so we must have done 13’s on the way back, very nice! After running this race in shoes one size too…

This morning was beyond annoying as I dealt with some lousy customer service people, but the day is looking up now… and I got some sponsors from work and Danielle as well, so my Revlon total is looking better too… I got another cool package from my knitty secret pal yesterday! A cool book on…
