A disturbance in the force
Posted in blather, getting my bitch on, the knit, tagged evil, holiday, winter on November 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I had planned to make this week a week full of posts all about the many things for which I’m thankful and how much I love the whole world and everyone in it, but because the universe is being a douche by (a) putting holes in my shoes that are undetectable until it’s wet and [...]

I have no time. None. Well, a little bit. But not enough to write a full-on post about what I’ve been doing and what I think about it. You must deal with me writing in bullet points today, because that’s where my brain is. Bullet points. Bullet Point One: Knitting I have finished the baby [...]
There should be more than one FO here

With today being the first full day of spring (right? Am I right? I have no idea. The calendar says yesterday was the Spring Equinox, so I’m guessing here.), ALLEGEDLY, you would think that winter’s icy grip would relax and daffodils would be in bloom and birds would sing and Bambi and Thumper might cavort [...]
Now is the winter of my discontent

I’ll be frank with you, I just have not felt like writing at all this past week. I haven’t really felt like doing much of anything, come to think of it. Winter is killing my spirit. It’s snowing again right now, and we are expected to get up to 13 inches. There’s a randomness to [...]
Having a birthday makes you older
Posted in blather, getting my bitch on, tagged age, birthday, grumble on January 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
When I returned to work after my birthday weekend I had lots of emails and phone calls to catch up on. I’m teaching two knitting classes next month and had emailed the students (signing off with just my first and last name) about color preferences as I am getting the yarn (because the last time [...]
Though not without its charms…

… my week has been less than stellar. 1. Migraine. During my second childbirth education class. 2. Less-than-legal midwife at a friend’s birth. Now, I’m not a fan of the Illinois state law that says breech births and twins cannot be delivered at home, but it makes lots of sense to abide by the law, [...]
Mosquitos love me.

I loved my Labor Day weekend, visiting friends who are newly returned to the Midwest and who live nearby. I don’t love being covered in mosquito bites. When it rains as much as it has, it floods. When it floods, you get lots of puddles and marshy bits of standing water. When you have standing [...]
Me vs. my shortcomings

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who wrote nice things about my Ballet Camisole! I appreciate the comments, and I’m glad you all seem to like it. I like it pretty well, too. It definitely stretches out a bit with wear, so I’m glad the Shine can be thrown in the machine for a wash [...]
