NinjaHusband just asked me if I was getting excited about birthday time. I had kind of forgotten that my birthday is tomorrow, what with this month having been the busiest month EVER, and planning to go away this weekend (the trip is actually my Christmas present). So when he asked, I yelled “BIRTHDAY TIME!!!!!” and [...]

Air travel We flew out of O’Hare on Friday with our friends Margaret (of the comments) and Wade. (things went ultra smoothly as we only had carryon bags and didn’t check any luggage.) This was my first plane trip with NinjaHusband (oddly, as we’ve been together almost 11 years) and it was very very cool. [...]

1. Guys, the doula training last weekend was beyond awesome. It was amazing. Three solid days of birth talk, with seven other classmates and two instructors. Huge. It’s hard to boil it down into a few words that won’t bore you if you’re not a birth junkie. I can say it was energizing and exciting [...]
Oh yes, yes I did.

I’m going to give you a WIP Wednesday-type post. Because who knows what kind of time I’ll have tomorrow. Currently, I have two pairs of socks on the needles. Okay, not really. I have one pair of socks and one single sock on the needles. The pair of socks: is the greeny Koigu KPPPM purchased [...]
Justify My Yarn

If I have money in my PayPal account from selling a bunch of yarn, and I use that money to purchase new yarn, that’s not really like spending money at all, is it? Because I’m one order away from becoming a Loopy Groupie and I really kind of want that high you get when you [...]

Pardon the grumble, folks, I had a crappy New Year’s. I got a cold on Sunday and it laid me out in such a disgusting manner that not even I wanted to be near me. It was the all-state snot-producing championships, and I was the winner. Gross. Moving on! I’ve been debating about whether to [...]
