Yarn … You Betcha!

I didn’t sleep well last night or today.  I finally managed to get some sleep around noon and slept till, oh, about 5pm.  I really hate days when I can’t sleep.
But on the flip side … I have yarn porn!!!
My KnitPicks order showed up yesterday!  I ordered three skeins of Palette so that I can [...]

Manic Monday

Manic Monday #161
Do you enjoy brain teasers or do you find them frustrating?
I usually enjoy them – I don’t find them too hard.
Do you have any unusual collections?
I love to collect garden gnomes and all things gnome!  I have at least eight outside.
What do people notice about you within the first hour of meeting you [...]

Weekend Gloom

It has stopped raining outside, but it’s still cloudy and cold.  Why do I always wake up to that when I have to go to work?  Days like this are meant for staying in bed!
Oy!  What a great Friday I had!  I drove down to Charlottesville to meet up with my knitting friend, Chan.  The [...]

Friday Fill-Ins

I just knew that if I went to bed early, I would wake up way to early.  Well, there are always those energy shot things!

Vintage Cravings

So, I’ve had some minor laptop issues … battery dead and all.  Thank goodness my hubby found a new one on Ebay!  So, we should be back to normal posting in no time!
Ah … clothing.  I’ve always been a chameleon when it comes to what I wear.  I dress depending on my mood.  I really [...]

Short Time

I slept in a little late today, so I don’t have time to post what I wanted.  I have some great photos and a short film from yesterday’s St. Paddy festivities.  Should be good stuff.
So, not much is new here.  I’m still not pregnant … but I’m not worried.  We’ve only been trying for a [...]

Manic Monday

I can’t begin to explain how manic I felt when I left work this morning.  I think that a root canal – with no anesthetic – while being dipped in hot bacon fat would have been more fun.  Of course, I can’t talk in detail – HIPPA and all.  Just take my word for it.  [...]

Days Off

Whenever someone from my past happens to pop back up, my reaction is usually to recoil and run away.  I was a very different person than who I am now, especially in high school and the few years after.  I did some things to people that I’m not proud of.  So, when I found an [...]
