We returned from Mexico on Saturday the 17th. I was here for oh, a good ten minutes, then I was gone again. What, you ask, could possibly get me out of my house after being gone most of the month? Well, TNNA in San Diego, of course! I jumped in my car, and about 90 […]
I’m off my game. I’ve been away from blogging for too long. I sat down to write up a great post about our first actual, real vacation in years and years, and… nothing. Nada. El zippo.
So, where to start? How about this? We’ll start with a very basic geography lesson. When people say they […]
The good news is that I’m home. I’m not home for three days—or worse, ten minutes. I’m home until late February. It’s so nice to be here again.
The bad news is that I am still accessing the Internet through Dave’s computer. My own probably works just fine, but the UPS that it plugs into […]
Just a quick little post to let you all know I’m alive and well, and home again. Hope to have a real post for you before too long… but probably not today.
I closed yesterday’s poll early, in case you were wondering. I got two wonderful suggestions from Denise (blogess, still!). I was 100% in for Diagonal Stride, a cross country skiing maneuver, before she suggested Gschnitztal, a valley near Innsbruck, Austria that is evidently popular with cross country skiers. Denise copied this down from an ad […]
I can’t believe it’s Wednesday afternoon already. Where does the time go? I’ve only time for a quick post today, but I wanted to give you something to read and look at.
Cardigan
I’ve finished knitting the West Coast Swing cardigan, sewing the seams, and weaving in the ends. Now to find a good button, and […]
I pulled Nicole out of her corner the other day, draped a cream-colored sheet over her, and had her pose for some shots with a couple of my shawls. In the Woods looks better than ever when on a proper model, instead of in front of the glass bricks, or on the table. Don’t you […]
I went, I waited, I was sent home.
That’s pretty much how my day of jury duty went yesterday. Because I’m self-employed, and my employer, tight-fisted thing that she is doesn’t pay me for 10 days of jury duty, I managed to escape two different trials that were in need of jurors yesterday. That part […]
I have a big, fat jury summons here with my name on it, and no option to call in to find that my lot number has been dismissed. I thought I didn’t have to go until Wednesday. Sure glad that I picked the thing up to look at it last night, as it says that […]
A bit of this and that…
It’s the time of year to submit your finished scarves to the Red Scarf Project. If you need a free pattern to knit, there’s a pretty cabled scarf pattern available over on Knitting Daily.
Ahoy, mateys. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Cap’ns Chumbucket and Slappy have two books […]
