Blog called on account of OMG FLOOD!

Saturday morning we found our sump pump stopped working (some time between Wednesday night and Saturday morning) and the basement had flooded. We have been very busy. Result: I have not even cataloged my pictures from last week, or the pictures of my knitting, or the pictures of my new yarn, or my thoughts on [...]

Project 365: 75-81

There is no overarching theme to this past week. Other than, possibly, alcohol (currently, not always when these pictures were taken). Commence with the pictures!!! March 16, 2009 Breakfast Chez Hookon. Oatmeal, sunflower seeds, and nutritional yeast. I’m a big fan of breakfast these days. And I love this stuff, as opposed to sweet oatmeal-type [...]

Saturday morning blisstacular

Hot tea on the side table, oatmeal in a bowl, and a cat on my cold toes. Excellent. Last night we had drinks with new friends. Very intense people. All my energy was used up just trying to keep track of which topic they were talking about, and I had none left to actually contribute [...]

Project 365: 68-74

Warning: if pictures of feet creep you out, you probably don’t want to look at the picture for March 13th. It should be noted that there are no pictures of my cat, and no pictures of my knitting this week. Not that either of them weren’t photogenic or awesome this week. Also note that when [...]

The Answer Is Yes

Yes, I really am that boring, because I had the same dream again. In my dream I woke up, realized it was Tuesday (although today is Monday), and started picking out clothes to wear for the day. For a really long time. And then in the dream I saw that it was later than 7:00 [...]

Left wondering if I’m really that boring

What does it mean when one dreams about one’s morning routine, in its entirety? I mean, nothing was different and nothing was left out. I dreamt every exact detail from feeding the cat to getting dressed to driving the pothole-pocked streets of DeKalb to get to work (a word to whoever our new/continuing mayor will [...]

Project 365: 61-67

This past week involved me starting to get sick, trying to ignore the sickness on the only warm sunny day we’ve had so far, and getting sicker. Fortunately there were one or two nice things to look at along the way. March 2, 2009 One of many stitch markers I’m using on the Tuscany Shawl. [...]

Here, have a squirrel

I’m really trying to slow down a bit and sort through a bunch of stuff (good and blergy), and my brain feels about the size of a walnut. In that spirit, I give you squirrels: We hung a compressed-seed bird feeder (does that make sense? it’s a bunch of seeds kind of sculpted into a [...]

Project 365: 54-60 (for reals)

What did I do this week? It’s kind of a blur, except for the weekend, which was awesomesauce. We took off midday on Friday for a weekend in Springfield. Being out of town and away from the bullshit felt freaking amazing. February 23, 2009 Mondays are sometimes the hardest days to get photos. I don’t [...]
