I decided to buy candy for the little demons, and we had about 10 kids come to the door (anyone want 4 pounds of Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie Pops?). Some were hesitant to knock or ring the doorbell, and some were really nice (“Can’t go wrong with Tootsie Rolls!” which makes me think that yeah, [...]

To see the senorita with flowers in her hair
Posted in blather, family-ish, field trip, glee, tagged baby, kentucky, lexington on October 16, 2008 | 7 Comments »
This past weekend we went to Kentucky to visit the new baby girl (and her parents) for whom I made the blindingly pink baby blanket. We had a blast. We left about 1:00pm on Friday, and made our way through the city and onto I-65 south. This is a deceptive highway, lulling you into complacency [...]

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. [...]
Random before I leave again

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 [...]

Special thanks to Penny for sending this lovely piece! Have a delicious/happy/joyous/cylindrical holiday (I’m feeling a little abstract just now)! May all your gauge swatches never lie to you, and may your yarn never snag!
Recap and Review

My Stitches Midwest 2007 Experience can be summed up in the following picture-less points (sorry, the Dada camera is still at the repair shop): 1. If you can help it, don’t go to Stitches when you’re ill. It really brings down your energy level and there is nothing at Stitches that feels better than a [...]
In Martian Years I’m 14 Again

Have you ever wondered how old you’d be on another planet? (It would be different than on earth, because of science.) Who hasn’t? Through the power of the internets, you can find out your age on other planets. It’s a great way to start your work week. By not doing some work. This link is [...]
I Am With My People
Posted in blather, family-ish, field trip, glee, the blogosphere, the knit on April 5, 2007 | 5 Comments »
My day started all virtuous-like. I went to the chiropractor (where I heard, again, that I’m running sideways, and to stretch ALL THE TIME), went to the gym, then stopped at various stores for those necessities I mentioned. And then apparently I made a vow to devote my writing time equally between normal writing and [...]
Some Observations
Posted in blather, cookery, family, family-ish, the yarn, weather-mongering on March 2, 2007 | 7 Comments »
1. The weather has gone bat-shit crazy, as is usual here for March. Yesterday it rained all morning, got sunny and warm at lunchtime, then went grey and evil during the afternoon. Then it snowed all night with high winds (my apartment building? It sways in the wind. Yes.), and that seems to be the [...]
My camera is a vampire
Posted in blather, family-ish, glee, the yarn on December 29, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday was a damn fine day. I had a guest, we went shopping, watched a goofy movie, and stayed up really late. And I discovered that my camera only takes decent pictures when there is absolutely no natural light. It’s a damn vampire. Let it not be said that my camera defies artificial light. Oh [...]
