Mmmm… Yarn!
Isn’t it lovely? This is my lovely new Vesper Sock Yarn! I looooooove it! She calls it Neopolitan, but come on … that is Big Pink Cookie sock yarn! I couldn’t resist the BPC sock yarn!
I survived today. I just told myself right before the presentation that if I can [...]
Check, Check, Check…
I’ve been busy, busy, busy!
- Presentation for honors day is ready, speech and powerpoint is done. Just have to pick out what I am going to wear and show up.
- Most of my research for the Biology project is done. (Still on campus right now because I was working on it.) Just [...]

New Kids on the Block…
No, no, not those kinds of “New Kids on the Block” – new podcasters! I just listened to the first episode of Knitty D and the City this morning, and I *loved* it. Wendy of Knit and the City and Christina of Knitty D are the hosts of this new show, which just [...]
The Paper Update…
Done so far today:
- Submission of scholarship form and the “Why I want to be a Pharmacist when I grow up” essay. (Cheese. Pure cheese.)
- Paper that I forgot about on the seminar I attended about saving the Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle. Doing my part to help bring them back to the [...]
Cookie!
How can you not love watching old school Sesame Street videos? You know, from back before Elmo came on and the whole show changed? Man, I love Sesame Street. And cookies.

Some Days, People Suck…
Pretty picture shared to remind me to focus on the good things and not the bad.
Gah. Some days, people suck. I mean, really suck.
I don’t normally rant about anything related to Blogomania here. Matter of fact, I don’t really rant about Blogomania at all – it is actually fairly smooth 99.998% of [...]
I am So Predictable…
I need to write two papers for photography (one on a photographer and one on a technique we are not doing this semester), a speech & slides for Honors Day this Friday about my X-Ray Crystallography project, a comparision of the various reproductive systems of the vertebrates due in just over a week, and last [...]
On Display and the Birthday Boy…
I still can’t figure out how to send a text message along with a photo from my phone, and I can’t get it into that speed typing text mode either (something 9? Those of you that text know what I mean) so I didn’t send a full message with my photo of my photo [...]

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up…
I’m completing an application for a scholarship from the community college I am attending. It is for the Pre-Professional Medical & Health Sciences group; basically, anyone that wants to go into the medical field in one way or another. They would pay for my tuition next year if I am awarded a scholarship.
The [...]
Photographers Will Understand…
Today, I did something far from brilliant in my photography class.
I rewound the film I finished shooting this morning. I took the film out of my camera. I went into the loading room, which is completely black because film is sensitive to all light, and loaded it onto a spool and put it [...]
This Week’s “I Hate Houston” Post…
The above photograph was taken last fall. When it was cool outside. Click it to view it large.
It is freakin’ sweltering hot outside. It is April. It is supposed to be spring. NOT near record-breaking temps in the 90s or whatever unbelievable temperature it was today. At 4pm, I [...]
Don’t Lose Your Head…
I’m almost done with my shawl! Whoo hoo! The Rosie’s Yarn Cellar Half-Pi Shawl is coming close to the end. I’m down to the i-cord bindoff. So. Painfully. Slow. K2, SSK, move stitches back to the left needle, repeat. For a total of 288 stitches. I was hoping [...]
Kid Safe Movies…
Mike was talking about taking Jason to the movies later, and as we tossed around different movie suggestions, I was reminded of Kids-In-Mind: Movie Ratings That Actually Work. If you want to know ahead of time if a movie is violent or too racy for your child to see, this site is great. [...]
Swap Time!
I meant to write about this awhile back, and then the whole new car thing and tests made my brain flake out and I forgot. Doh! (Sorry about that, Sarah!) Anyways … it is time for a CD Swap! Get excited! Sign Up!
The theme this time is music that you [...]
I Really Need to Stop…
I wrote this great post, all about my Biology class. I had a hissy fit last week, stomping my feet and gnashing my teeth because I thought I was going to make a “C” in the class, and I simply could not accept that. I am capable of making a “B” and I [...]
I Know You are Jealous…
I just realized that I forgot to mention the other day that on Saturday night, Mike, Jason and I headed over to the local Starbucks so Mike could take advantage of his gift card that he had received. Of course, since I knew we would be sitting there for awhile, I grabbed my knitting.
Mike [...]
Island Time…
Today we decided to head south for some time on Galveston Island. It has been a long time since we have made a trip down there, which is strange. Considering how close it is, I always wonder why we don’t go more often. We love it down there. (So much that [...]
