Small towns in New England have the best police reports sometimes. Like this one, from my town's "Police Incident Report" (which used to be way more fun when they would print people's names and ages!):A resident trapped in an elevatore was reported at the monastery on SomeSuch Road, 10:53am. Fire department personnel responded to reset… Continue reading Stars Hollow-ish

Pixie Hat or Suction Cup?
I've been putting off finishing the larger knit items - Lorelai's blanket, the Amelie dress, my Bartholomew socks... I thought the Pixie Hat would be really cute. I had made Lorelai Christmas themed hats, and the snowman didn't quite work out, and it's been so cold she needs something on her head when we go… Continue reading Pixie Hat or Suction Cup?
Yoga, interrupted
I love tivo. It dawned on me the other day that I could set a wishlist for "yoga" and get some new routines available to me without buying a dvd. I found Inhale with Steve Ross on Oxygen - I used to watch / do this when I was in grad school. It's yoga with… Continue reading Yoga, interrupted
“Itty Bitty” Snowman
My first FO for 2008! It's the Snowman hat from "Itty Bitty Hats" - I used stash yarns (black - red heart, white - caron simply soft, red - debbie bliss merino dk, orange - kitchen cotton). You might not notice it as modeled by Elvis the dcuk, but it's really tall. I either mismeasured… Continue reading “Itty Bitty” Snowman
Thank you for the comments about my grandfather - they mean a lot. It's been a crazy week with all that business, and Lorelai is a happy distraction. She brought a smile to everyone's face and it didn't hurt that she was very well behaved! I wanted to knit, but since Monday (??? maybe. I… Continue reading
Spit-Up
(I started this post earlier in the week and almost forgot about it..)Spit-up happens. Lorelai's not big on the spit up - it happens from time to time, but overall it's not a common thing. A little drip or drool here / there, no big deal. Imagine my surprise when she spit up what seemed… Continue reading Spit-Up
Woah.
I finished watching this documentary. In short, this is what I have to say: woah. scary. wow. How do make the emoticon for a jaw on the floor?
Sad start to the week
My mom's dad passed away early this morning. He had been quite sick for some time - diabetes, on dialysis, respiratory failure... He was hospitalized after Christmas for pneumonia and then they discovered lung cancer. After all he went through, at least he was able to be made comfortable and not have all this drag… Continue reading Sad start to the week
Marketing Sucker
I love a good advertising campaign (WhopperFreakOut, the Sun in the Jimmy Dean commercials) and product packaging (hello, method products) and clever things. Through the MommiesWithStyle blog I found out about LobotoME - great notepads / listpads and love the graphics and brainisms. Cute cute cute.
Dogs on Thursday – Bath Time
Jackson is a pretty low maintenance sort of dog. We try to brush him regularly - he's a short hair and doesn't shed too much to begin with, but he does shed. He needs to get his nails clipped and we bring him to the groomer for that. Otherwise, we are able to just give… Continue reading Dogs on Thursday – Bath Time
