The Web…
I stayed up last night and finished the last two rows of the Charlotte’s Web. Looking at it this morning, I think that I should have made the last purl row the bind-off (cast-off?) row because I’m afraid their won’t be enough yarn left for the three rows of single crochet trim. So [...]
Two More Rows…
Just two more rows on my Charlotte’s Web Shawl. Two long rows. Then I have to bind off, but I have no idea what is a good bind off to use on lace like this. Then – the scary part. I have to crochet. 3 rows. Before I can [...]
UGH!
I am on a very emotional edge right now. I have no idea what is causing it, but just about anything can make me cry today. It was like this yesterday too. Ugh. My dentist was questioning me about why we were redoing the crown that didn’t feel right (causing me [...]
The Random Post…
Random things because Flickr is being slow about letting me add my photos to all the Pools I’ve joined:
We got a dog. She is 3 year old Bichon Frise, and we named her Chloe. I posted her photo on Flickr some time ago, but didn’t mention her here. I’m not sure why. [...]
London, Day 3….
I just realized that I forgot to post the other night that I uploaded the next set of honeymoon photos – London, Day 3. It was a cloudy day, so I didn’t take a ton of pictures. We went to the Globe Theatre during the day, one of the places I have always [...]
What Were They Doing?
I have had 3-4 comments in the past month or so that look like this:
Explorer Generation Generation , Window . Using Common New color Explorer Window Help port . Information system List. your Wrong , . . and None . Keys dialog . Window Window logged order , to , . Window Needed , – [...]
Decluttering Friday!
Today is decluttering day! Come on, you know you have too much stuff. Probably way too much stuff. If you’re like me, it is time to clear some of it out. So I’m declaring today decluttering Friday! Because I need a swift kick in the ass to force myself to [...]

Google Moon – Lunar Landing Sites
In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, we’ve added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor. Happy lunar surfing.
Be sure to use the “+” on the left to zoom in [...]
Your Opinion, Please….
Once again, I’m looking at Vonage and the other VoIP phone options. (Time Warner, etc.) Do you use Vonage? Do you like it? Have you been happy with it? Would you recommend switching to it? Feel free to share your thoughts! I would really appreciate it!
Counting the Clicks…
Smart needles for distracted knitters:
“Rebecca Spender´s KnitWit are smart needles that keep track of the number of stitches you’ve already done. Movement sensors in the ends record the movement of the needles. This data is streamed via RF to a remote base station which decodes the signal, looking for a specific series of movements which [...]
The Notebook…
I don’t normally watch a lot of movies, but this summer I seem to be catching up on all the ones I’ve missed, and even seen a number of the ones in the theater. Today, thanks to Starz, I finally watched The Notebook. Oh my goodness. I think I cried through [...]
Quack, Quack?
Why is there a duck on our mailbox?
I Live in a Cave…
I had no clue about the bombings in London that happened yesterday until today. I hate it when I do that – I feel like I live in a cave because I don’t keep up with the news. It is good to know that everyone I know in London is ok and well. [...]
The Rest of Day 2…
I’ve finally finished posting the rest of the London, Day 2 photos on Flickr! Hopefully, Day 3 won’t take me quite so long to get online. Below are some of my favorites from what I just uploaded.
Flickring Families…
Flickring Families offers great tips for using Flickr for keeping in touch with your family. Now that I think about it, I need to go back and revise some tags on my own photos, so other family members can find them easier. (They may not know “bigpinkcookie” but they should be able to [...]
The REAL Knitting Machine…
I thought I was a knitting machine. Then I saw this – the REAL Knitting Machine. Just how hysterical is that? Has anyone in the North Adams, MA area gone to see it?
Just think of all the yarn!
[First seen at Core77.com with photos, thanks to a link sent to me by Katie.]
Solutions…
I found the comment moderation problem on my site – there was an individual letter “l” in my moderation list, and also “DONT HAVE ONE” – with spaces – in my moderation list. I figure one or both of those was causing the problem, although most likely it was the fact that there were [...]
London, Day 2…
The first part of my London, Day 2 are now online at Flickr. I’ve got more to add, and I’ll update here when they are ready.
Moderation…
Once again, WordPress has decided that *all* of the comments I receive should be put into moderation. I double checked the settings – nothing has changed – but that is where they are going.
*shaking my fist at the computer*
So if you comment and you don’t see it right away – don’t worry. I’ll [...]
At Last…
Continuing my “1 year, 1 month and 1 day” anniversary theme (ok, so we’re on day 2 of that, forgive me. Wait, 1 day after the 1 year, 1 month and 1 day anniversary – how’s that?), I thought it was time to finally share the track list from our wedding CD favors. [...]
