isn’t it ironic?

That two days post foot surgery – when I was unable to walk – I came down with walking pneumonia? It also happened to be my birthday. The pneumonia foiled my plans for working on Christmas gifts, but I am finally feeling human again and ready to get back to it! Thanks to all for [...]

seriously?

Behold a completed sweater back and the beginnings of the front. The pattern is Kearsarge from A Fine Fleece, and it’s supposed to look like this.  I am so sorry to make you click another link, but here’s what the picture I can snag from Google looks like: Not very helpful, is it? At least [...]

people really tick me off

What the hell is up with people anymore? Someone in my office routinely turns the thermostat (that controls my air vents) up to 85 degrees.  Yes, it’s chilly outside (if you call 60 degrees chilly), but geez, give a thought about other people, won’t you?  You can put more clothes on, but I can’t take [...]

the bad with the good

Some dumbass ran into my car Wednesday night (no one was hurt, thankfully).  The boy and I were on our way home and the woman in the car in front of us decided – all of a sudden – to do a u-turn!  She veered to the right then veered immediately to the left.  I [...]

even more self-indulgence

Guess what I just bought? Three batts of Abby‘s merino/tencel luxury batts.  I’ve wanted to spin merino/tencel for a long, long time, and I’m a little down today so I decided to make myself feel better. I’m down because yesterday I went to my guild’s monthly spin study and I was all excited because I [...]
