I originally wanted to share pictures of my latest obsession… a new halter top on the needles. It reminds me of a tropical beach, summer vacation and mojitos. I also wanted to show off pictures of another project on the needles, done in Elsbeth Lavold Silky Wool. But unfortunately, when I hooked my camera up [...]

911

Yep, that 911.
The weather has been cool but not cold. Cool enough that I’ve been sleeping (or trying to sleep) with my bedroom slider screen door locked and the glass door slightly open – just enough to hear the wind and pull in some cool night air. In the three years I’ve lived here, I’ve not [...]
No Sleep for Me
Posted in Life in General, Randomness, tagged sleeplessness on March 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I can’t sleep. And I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in the last two weeks. It’s making me cranky. It’s making me so cranky that I yelled at the so-called “customer service” man at the IRS Friday morning. (In all fairness, it appears that the IRS only staffs condescending pencil pushers to man the [...]

Ok, I am taking my cue from you all and returning to mostly knitting content rather than talk about mundane things like my faltering love life.
Ready?
Here are the burp cloths and bibs I made for my sister in law for her baby shower last weekend:
Four cloths and four bibs out of standard Sugar n Cream [...]
The R Word

So I haven’t talked much about the state of my love life on here. I’ve contemplated sharing all the ups and many downs of it all with you many times. But I think for now I’ll give you the snapshot version because frankly, three years worth of ups and downs is just too sad to [...]

It’s Sunday night and I have two tables to put together for my 4th and last assignment of the evening. But I’m procrastinating because I have to write two table about 5 students and their learning challenges. It would be super easy to do if the school I requested an observation at had actually called [...]

Pondering

Today I feel somewhat normal. Normal enough to take a shower, dress presentably and drive myself to the grocery store, buy a good assortment of items (not just cereal) only to come home and discover that the package of lunch meat has already been opened. I mean really… who takes the time to cut open [...]
Wrong With a Capital ‘W’
Posted in Life in General on March 6, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I publicly admit that I was wrong.
I did not have a 24 hour flu as I reported in the previous post. I am not that lucky.
This is day 4 of the flu for me. Today is the first day that I woke up with a temperature just under 100 degrees.
But I am loopy on the [...]

I thought for sure I wasn’t one of those people that got the flu.
I was wrong.
While I am positive it lasted only 24 hours because I have been working out regularly since December, it still sucked to come home yesterday afternoon after having a lovely breakfast with S and dive into bed with the shakes [...]
