I finished Wavy while watching girly movies and eating treats with one of my best friends, who just learned to knit, and some of her friends who were knitting and crocheting.  It was so fun to hang out with other people who "get it".  Wavy made it’s debut yesterday and got lots of compliments.  I … Continue reading →

You won’t find me here, at least not until Sunday or Monday.  I am visiting a friend in Utah so my computer access is a bit limited.  Good news, though, she wants me to teach her how to knit!  So, I will return soon.  Don’t miss me too much. Continue reading →

Tonight was the New Orleans audition night on American Idol and I missed it.  I guess worse things have happened but I’m kinda bummed.  You gotta hate it when work gets in the way of guilty pleasure television.  Anne Marie and Carrie, did you see us??? No knitting today, I had some time sitting in … Continue reading →

No snow here, not that we’re surprised, but we did get a good enough cold front to make us want to stay indoors this weekend.  It was warm on Saturday but by Saturday evening, the temperature was dropping dramatically.  The weekend was great, complete with a trip to a coffee shop, a lunch at a … Continue reading →

Row Counter, How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways! Yes, I’m working on the Wavy scarf and my row counter is my new best friend.  In past projects, I would put the row counter on the needles and use it for the first few rows and then I would just forget to … Continue reading →

Life has just gotten in the way of anything extra for the last few days.  Between getting training rides in (I’ve now ridden around 80 miles) and working on the thesis (almost over the first hurdle), all I’ve wanted to do is crash out.  I am usually able to post on the blog during a … Continue reading →

Today started out fine, it’s a beautiful day here, feels like spring.  I came into work and hit the ground running, ready to be productive.  I ate a candy bar, the first snickers I’ve had since before Christmas.  Things were good. Then, I got a call from my husband to say that he does have … Continue reading →

I’ve seen "good and bad" lists on other blogs recently, so I thought I’d add some funny to it and tell you about my weekend. The Good… I finished my baby Sherpa hat, as modeled so gracefully by my planter thing.  I know the real name for those but don’t know how to spell it … Continue reading →

It started out innocently enough, a routine trip to the eye doctor last night.  I’ve had glasses or contacts since I was 6 years old, so I’ve been to the eye doctor at least 20 previous times.  Last night, it did a number on me.  I don’t know if it was the rapid change in … Continue reading →

Today was the first day this week that we actually made it up early to work out. We had good intentions on Monday and Tuesday but just couldn’t make it happen. I like being up early. I had time to take a brisk walk, do sit-ups and push-ups, take pictures for the blog, watch the … Continue reading →
