I had a great weekend, despite the fact that I had to work for a bit on Saturday. I had Friday off, so I had time to clean the house and pick up a friend and her baby up at the airport. They stayed at our house Friday night and we had a great time. … Continue reading →

Not much to blog about. I’m sitting at my desk with a big fat daddy coke/pop/soda (enter your regionally based name here). I just finished the proper thing to eat for breakfast, yogurt, and I think I’m about to move on to the improper thing to eat for breakfast, a candy bar. Nothing like knocking … Continue reading →

Yay! I finally finished the blanket I’ve been working on for the Critter Knitters Knit-a-thon. I think it turned out to be around 34″ by 34″. I wanted to make a big one for the medium sized doggies (like my T-Bone) that need warmth, too. And, at the risk of excessive animal sentimentality, T-Bone is … Continue reading →

I’m so glad it’s Friday! I’m also so glad that I don’t have anything planned this weekend! We need to do some stuff around the house and I need to get the ball rolling on my thesis, but we don’t have anywhere to be at any given time all weekend. I think I’m going to … Continue reading →

I was going to try to wait. But I just can’t. I wanted to spread my finished objects around a little bit. You know, save one for when things get kinda slow. But I just couldn’t wait! So, I present to you my Bottoms Up Bucket O Chic! You can click for the obligatory “show … Continue reading →

It has been a really nice break but I did miss the blog and reading everyone else’s blogs. I did get quite a bit of knitting done this week, … Continue reading →

The Openwork Tank is moving right along, at the speed of a turtle, but I think I’m finally picking up speed. It has just taken a little while to get my gauge to work out so that it is possible to do k2tog without injuring my hands. I knit too tightly sometimes, I’m afraid. My … Continue reading →

I’m having a little problem focusing at work. I really need to get my act together because I’m going to be out all week next week. I’m going on VACATION! I just can’t wait. We’re going to South Padre Island for a few days and then we’ll come back and just chill out for the … Continue reading →

Did your mom ever use that expression? “You need a _________ like you need a hole in the head.” Well, I need a new project like I need a hole in the head. But, I’m going to South Padre next week (leaving on Saturday) and I really want something new to wear on the beach. … Continue reading →

Whew! What a weekend! I’m still recovering from the showers and the rehearsal not to mention the wedding! It was definitely a whirlwind, but all in all, I think the wedding was great. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Best of all, I got to wear my new Banana … Continue reading →
