Memories are tricky things. There are the memories that you think about so frequently and you just know you'll never forget, even if they get blurry around the edges and then there are the memories that sort of hit from left field and it just seems crazy that you still remember such a thing.

Covered.
My sweater is making progress - as of a week ago it was here:(excuse the iphone claw hand). In the last week I have finished the body of the sweater, right down the to the bottom cable and lace patterning and even bound off! The sleeves await me now - I need to go dig… Continue reading Covered.
Mama’s Midriff.
Way back in '09 I signed up for a SweaterKAL with several of the gals from SnB. Then in the early days of '10 I think I have signed up for TheSweatshopOfLove's Sweater a Month Challenge, because yes, I think I can do more than is humanly possible (I will refrain, partially, from telling you… Continue reading Mama’s Midriff.

Give a pint, get a pound.
More reason to give - you can get a free pound of DD coffee in the month of January when you give a pint. Not a bad deal. I really do want this to be something I do as frequently as I can. It takes less than an hour of your time. It will help… Continue reading Give a pint, get a pound.

For the record, her dad put the blanket on his head the night before while I was out and she started to mimic him last night. I didn't know any… Continue reading Doesn’t everyone feel like this?
I love Mail.
I have had several good mail days in a row - and that's probably it for a while. I feel like the delivery truck idles at the mailbox just long enough to make me believe that they must be shoving a fantastic package into the mailbox (regardless of whether or not I am expecting anything).… Continue reading I love Mail.
Pantry Check In
Good post today about the "Pantry Eating Adventure" over on Money Saving Mom. I went grocery shopping today - my list was not the best it could have been, my menu plan is still a bit jumbled up, and I think I'm really still in "stockpile" mode. For instance, a yogurt that I like (and… Continue reading Pantry Check In
