Why I Love Owning My Own Home, recent additions to the list: * We have a garage. Even though I’m a total idiot who scraped off the sideview mirror last week while backing out of it, I’m in love with having a garage. My car is the one that fits in the garage (there’s still [...]

My Bread and Butter

When I was growing up I was sometimes a foolish child. I ran around the outdoors, played in the forests and fields and creeks, and helped my Dad chop down trees. Tomboy. Everything that was outside was awesome, and everything that was inside the house (cooking, sewing, sitting still) was boring and silly. Foolish child. [...]

That would be great. My uncle died last Monday. He’d had brain cancer, but we were all thinking months, not this soon. He was my Mom’s youngest brother. I would like it if the universe could stop crapping on my family. Three deaths in one year is a bit much. Thank you. ….. So, June [...]
Some Observations

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 [...]

Yes, it’s been a while since last I posted. I am a bad blogger, and I deserve no cookie. I have a list of excuses, though: 1. It’s been cold. It was -14 here (without the windchill) on Sunday night, and yesterday was the same and when it is cold I apparently cannot blog. (I [...]
What A Heel

You know those secret socks I’ve not been telling you about, and which are nowhere to be found in the “current projects” part of the sidebar? I’m still working on them. First pair of socks worked together, first toe-up socks, first provisional cast-on, first short-row heel (short-rows made much easier with Wendy’s new Very Detailed [...]

I can’t say “Thank You” enough. Everyone who commented and/or thought about me this past weekend — thank you, thank you, thank you. You all warmed me up with your support and made everything easier to deal with. My mom read the blog and all your responses, and she wants to include my post & [...]
