Equal protection clause FTW! Apparently today is progressive day. Love it. “The court reaffirmed that a statute inconsistent with the Iowa constitution must be declared void even though it may be supported by strong and deep-seated traditional beliefs and popular opinion,” said a summary of the ruling issued by the court. It’s nice to see [...]

Because she’s made the House more welcoming for mothers. I can’t really add more commentary, other than to say OH HECK YES! “It’s a very good thing. It’s good for our country,” she said. “More young moms in Congress. Pretty soon, more women leaders in the Congress. And who knows? Maybe one of these new [...]

I’m not going to lie to you — this year hasn’t seen my best work, knitting-wise. I started to list the highlights of this past year, by month, and I got bored doing it. I got bored talking about my own self. How lame is that? And when I looked at my Ravelry projects I [...]
Line items make me hot

Okay. Today has been better than yesterday, in that I wore proper shoes and didn’t scrape my side-view mirror off the car when I left for work. Also the sun was shining, and that helps. Today I learned that NinjaHusband and I can take advantage of the craptacular economy and refinance our house, just 4 [...]
Things to report

1. Dropping stitches has become my new hobby. I’m knitting almost exclusively on the Clapotis these days, and it’s starting to look like an actual shawl/scarf/wrap/thing. While I’ve been a little bored with this project lately, now that I’m dropping stitches so far down the length of the piece I am fully in love with [...]

To see the senorita with flowers in her hair

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 [...]
I own everything you see here

From the first moment we walked into our house after the closing, I’ve been giddily pointing out various parts of the house and saying things like, “And this is the front closet, THAT WE OWN” or “That’s the dishwasher THAT WE OWN” or “Here is the sunless basement complete with large hairy spiders THAT WE [...]
