I’m up to my eyeballs in QuickBooks. Gads. I think I finally have all the inventory entered that I bought both before and after January 1. Most of the accounts are there, as are starting balances for bank accounts, credit cards, you know, that stuff. Now I’m trying to import PayPal info. Ha ha ha. […]
Classic
I don’t know how much (or little) attention you pay to the goings-on in my sidebar… I’ve been reading classics lately. I started a week or so ago by reading Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice, moved on to Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, and am now entrenched in William Makepeace Thackeray’s Vanity Fair.
And I’m having […]
I know. There are probably about a million reasons why crocheted seams are bad. I admit to having finished a sweater or two that way in the past. Right now, I’m glad. It means that this sweater that I told you about the other day was really easy to take apart. All I had to […]
I finished the first sock last night, and promptly cast on for the second. The first one fits like a, uh, glove? Well, it fits just right. Still loving this easy-knitting yarn.
I finally remembered to take a picture at the pump last week when I got gas. This was part way through filling […]
Drat those tiny little things. Aphids love my pansies almost as much as I do. Anyone have a good way of deterring the little beasties without use of deadly chemicals, or a hose? I have some bug juice that works fairly well, but I don’t like using it. My pretty little flowers have grown quite […]
I think just about all knitting bloggers must read the Yarn Harlot’s blog. If not, here’s today’s highlight. ROTFLOL
It’s amazing how much I can get knit on a sock in a day when I don’t have any other knitting projects on the go, and carry the sock from room to room with me. This said, don’t think that stitching on the pansies is lagging, as it’s not. Got a lot done in that […]
Going to visit Captain Steve on the Matsonia wasn’t the only thing we did on Friday.
We also helped a friend paint the inside of her new store. There were six of us total. We ate, we drank, we painted (not necessarily in that order), and we had much fun. Troy brought the burritos from […]
OMG. What fun! Dave and I had a blast visiting our friend Captain Steve on the SS Matsonia this morning (a Matson ship). We followed Steve’s instructions out to the pier, gave our names to the nice security agent at the gate, and parked where instructed. Caught the shuttle and rode it out to the […]
We’re actually getting out of the house today to do something fun. A friend of ours is a container ship captain, sails out of Long Beach harbor, and we’re getting a tour of his ship today, as well as lunch. So, not much time to blog this morning. I have things to do to get […]
