B is for blue

Monday, February 4, 2008

I’m a couple days late for “B” and the ABC Along. Sigh.
I’m still feeling a bit blue about the blue Mingus sock. I haven’t done a thing with it since I tried it on late last week, and it was, uh, a bit tough to tug over my heel. I really don’t want to […]

Who, me?

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

On Monday my dear friend Kristie gave me an award! I could well be wrong (please don’t be angry if I am), but I don’t think I’ve gotten any sort of blogging award before. I’m flattered, tickled pink, all smiles. Thank you so much! The official rules of this award are:
Give the award to […]

Calendar winner!
When only three people sign up for a giveaway, a random number generator really isn’t needed. Eeny-meeny-miney-mo would work just as well. But since the participants weren’t here in the room with me, I ran the number generator anyway. And, drum roll please… DonnaC wins the calendar! Donna, you probably haven’t seen my email […]

Okay. That was fun. Way fun. Lots of fun. Did I say it was fun?
Kristie and I had such a marvelous time at TNNA that I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had. We talked to tons of fabulous people such as Kaffe Fassett, Cookie A., Kaffe Fassett, Kristin Nicholas, […]

A holiday dinner

The dinner
Once upon a time Dave and I gathered up our friends for a holiday dinner. We did them five years in a row before things like life and babies got in the way. The life thing settled down a bit, the kids got older, and it was time to do it again. Saturday, December […]

Birthday

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Another year’s gone by. It’s my birthday again! Wow. Amazing. Don’t know what all will be going on here today. At some point we’ll wander over to the pub for a birthday beer. Dave has a nice dinner planned, taking full advantage of the fabulous leftovers from Saturday night’s feast—I’ll tell you about that soon. […]

Today

Thursday, November 29, 2007

I spent a good chunk of yesterday getting caught up on the paperwork I should have done on Tuesday, blocking the lace scarf I knit over Thanksgiving week (no, I don’t have a picture yet, was going to do that this morning), getting stuff ready for the post office, actually going to the post office, […]

Road trip!

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

It seems like years since I posted in my blog. But you see, we were out of town all last week. Just got back yesterday afternoon. We were so exhausted from driving more than a thousand miles in two days (actually 1,086 miles/1,749 kilometers), that we were in bed and asleep before 9 pm.
I […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 22, 2007

What’s this? Coco and a, uh, stuffed turkey are bogarting my cocktail.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I got this from Angela. Thank you, girlfriend.
T’was the night of Thanksgiving, but I couldn’t sleep,
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned, the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with […]

Happy anniversary, baby…

Got you on my mi-iii-iiind.
Four years ago today, after having been together twelve years and engaged for only six weeks, Dave and I got married.
We went up to northern California, and got married at home, in the house I grew up in, a lifetime of memories surrounding us, the living room furniture pushed […]
