Hitting the Books…
I should be studying, I know. Instead I had to hunt for the DNA Scarf pattern. See, Daysies has become hooked on fiber (which is entirely my fault! Whee!) and she called me with fiber questions. So we were going through sites, and you know how it is … one thing [...]
Rain, Rain, Go Away…
I have a feeling that the complete downpour of rain is going to really cut into the number of trick-or-treaters that we are going to get at our door.
This is probably a good thing, since I have a Biology test tomorrow and I want to see all the kids in their costumes.
Sassy hair!
Getting ready for the toga party!
Baby Got Back…
After listening to this, I can totally understand Ross & Rachel singing “Baby Got Back” to their baby on Friends.
Even if you hated Friends, you MUST listen to that song. Baby Got Back!
(Jonathan Coulton has a lot of other music – check it out! Give the Ikea song a whirl!)
Update: I think [...]
Rockstar!
Rockstar!
Algebra test! Whoo hoo!
Brrrrrr…
It is freezing cold in my Biology class! It isn’t that cold outside – well, it is cold for us because it is in the 60s and we’re still getting used to it not being in the 90s – but it is so cold in my class I’ve decided to use the sock I [...]
Chemistry Test…
I got an A! Whoo hoo!
Another One of Those Weeks…
Late night thoughts…
It’s going to be another one of those weeks. My algebra test that was supposed to be last Thursday was moved to this Tuesday. That was great because it gave me a chance to really understand quadratic equations, but it also means that I have another week with two tests because [...]
I Have Seen It All!
I never thought I would see this day, but it has finally happened…
THE ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! WE WON! WE WON!!! WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! WHOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Yes, Mike was not allowed near the TV tonight. At one point, he did cross through the living [...]
Kid ‘N Ewe and Llamas Too…
Fine. It’s not Maryland Sheep & Wool. It’s not Rhinebeck. But it should still be fun, right? So who wants to have a meetup at the Kid ‘N Ewe and Llamas Too 2005 sheep & wool festival in Boerne, Texas? Huh? Huh? It is coming up – November [...]
Good News!
The Algebra test has been moved to next Tuesday since so many of us were completely lost yesterday on how to do quadratic equations. That means I can watch the Astros game tonight! (Alone, because Mike will NOT be allowed near the TV.) As an added perk, I might even get to [...]
I’m Sorry, Houston…
I’m so sorry, Houston. It is all Mike’s fault that the Astros lost last night.
I love baseball, but I don’t watch it as much as I used to. How could I not tune in last night to see the Astros finally make it to the World Series? All the karma of the [...]
More Fun Than Studying…
I should be studying for my Chemistry test tomorrow, or reading my Biology book. Or learning about quadratic equations, which I need to get a grasp of by Thursday for my Algebra test.
Instead, I’ve been clearing out the blogroll. First I removed some blogs that I know are dead and gone. Then [...]

Charlotte’s Web!
Charlotte’s Web – started in May, 2005, completed July 28, 2005. (Blocked on October 13, 2005.) 5 skeins of Koigu, size 6 Denise needle with a 40″ circular cable. Yarn purchased at Hill Country Weavers in Austin, TX (while at SxSW in March, 2005) and Rosie’s Yarn Cellar, Philadelphia, PA (while visiting [...]
Name That Actor…
I’m working on getting the pictures ready while watching Sense & Sensibility. As soon as Col. Brandon walked into the room, I started doing the “who is that, who is that???” routine. Of course, I had to look it up on IMDB. Dude! Professor Severus Snape is in Sense & Sensibility! [...]
The Web is Complete!
I blocked the shawl last night on Jason’s old twin bed. (Lately he has been sleeping on the queen-sized bed in the guest bedroom. Soon we will move all the beds around and the twin will go into the guest room.) First I hand washed it, then I sent it off for [...]
Nice Hat…
Why did Ashton Kutcher wear what appears to be a pimp hat for their wedding? It is just horrible!
On a separate note, I still cringe every time I see a photo of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Ewww.
Oops.
I decided earlier that I was going to block my Charlotte’s Web shawl properly and wear it to the Mom’s Group meeting tomorrow morning. This was a great idea, but it would have helped if I had actually … you know … blocked it.
It is lace. I wonder if it can dry in [...]
