Yarn’s Bound and Wound…
Randomness to wrap up October.
Stalker Angie has come up with the Kid & Ewe festival theme song, Yarn’s Bound and Wound:
Yarn’s bound and wound, we’re loadin’ up and truckin’,
We gonna drive past San Antonio.
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there.
We’re West bound just watch ol’ Stalker run.
That is [...]
Set Yourself Free…
It is all about learning to let go.
A few weeks ago, we had a Flickr meetup here in Houston. I was taking what I call my “point & shoot” photos, where I aim my camera and hope I am getting the shot I want. (When there is room on the memory card, it [...]
Soctober is Coming to the End…
I haven’t finished a single sock in Soctober, and now it is almost over. Oops. It has been a good month though as far as knitting – some sock progress, my sweater, and the baby sweater. So it isn’t all bad. Just no completed socks and still a lot of sock [...]
Knitted Goods!
I have officially knit a sweater. Sure, it is a small sweater, but it is still a sweater. I made it for Emma, Hanna’s baby that is due in December.
The stats:
Lorna’s Laces Swirl DK yarn in “Happy Valley”
Lorna’s Laces Simplest Sweater for Baby pattern
(Offers instructions for both knit and crochet sweaters)
Newborn size
Knit with [...]
Photo Time…
One of my favorite thing about the Ren Fest? The watergardens – I love taking photos of the flowers there. This one is even better if you view it large. More of these to come.
Today, I’m going to a photo class at a local garden with Elaine and Hanna. Yeah! [...]
WTF Friday Moment…
William Shatner “Rocket Man”. I can’t even begin to describe the depth of hilarious badness this reaches. (Be careful, it is on the evil YouTube, and you can get sucked in for some time over there. You know, when you’re not playing Bejeweled.)
Crack Dealer…
Since we are now all hooked on Bejeweled, I thought I would share the link where I found it – you can get it and many other goodies for your website here: Google Gadgets For Your Webpage.
It is dangerous though. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Ankle update! It is doing better. [...]
It is Like Crack…
I get addicted to Bejeweled EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. So I decided to be an enabler and share.
For Those of You Playing Along at Home…
I was tired of the old design. I needed a change. WordPress Themes makes that an easy thing, and now I have a new design in a snap. I want to make changes, either replacing the top image with rotating photos of my own (if only I knew how!) or Flickr thumbnails. [...]
I Give Up.
I made the decision last night, and it is final – but I’m not entirely happy about it. I decided that I need to drop Organic Chemistry. I should have done it at the very beginning, as I could tell right away that there would be problems. When I registered, Prof. A [...]
Did I Just Say That?
Taken in Austin Texas in 2003. Even better viewed large.
I thought I would get off easy because I have a teenage SON, but I just had to tell him to get off the phone – with the girl next door – and go to bed. Wait. I actually had to tell him [...]
I *Heart* Fall…
I love this time of year. Love, love, love it. It is a nice cool 70 degrees outside right now according to weather.com, 62 according to the thermometer in my backyard, and when it was in the 50s this morning it was actually a bit nippy in my bedroom. I love how [...]
Sweater Update…
Friday morning, I had a meeting at Jason’s school. As I walked to the building, I stepped off of a curb and managed to seriously twist my ankle. I limped into the school, had the meeting, limped back to my car and went home to an ice pack and some pillows to elevate [...]
Guess What?
It is raining. Again. Just when we could not possibly handle getting any more wet, it starts right back up. Ugh.
Dog and Cat…
We have had a dog, Chloe the psycho Bichon, for over a year now, and two cats, Mona and Murphy, for much longer. Normally, the pet interaction in our house is minimal.
Mona is a loner, so she walks in stealth mode to the litter box and the food bowl. She is [...]
Caution…
Lengthy paper, including Powerpoint presentation due on Thursday. All about how to become a Pharmacist, what it involves, information on schools, etc. LOTS of information.
Me, being the wise person I am, started on this (a) when I first got the assignment on the first day of class, (b) a few weeks ago, or [...]
Blue Sky Needed…
It has done nothing but rain for the past 12 hours at least, plus all the rain we got yesterday, and as Staci noted in my comments on my previous post, the bayou is overflowing. We are supersaturated now, and I don’t think we can handle much more rain.
You know it is bad when [...]
Monday Sunshine…
The flowers outside the magical cottage in St. James Park in the heart of London.
It is after midnight now, so it is officially Monday. I felt the need for bright, sunshine flowers as I listen to the rain outside. Cool weather has visited us, but within days it will be back into the [...]
