So, to sum up:I was away for the weekend in DC with these girls for a bridal shower:(Left to Right: Me, the bride Jenny, Bets, VIK)This was the after bridal shower party. Fun times!Before I left for the weekend of getting… Continue reading Explorer Errors

So, Broadway. I love it. Love theatre. Love doing behind the scenes stuff - I was a costume wench in high school. Last night we started watching The Producers and I just didn't love it. Matthew Broderick was overacting. It seemed too much like a B'way show. Not like Chicago or Rent - they worked… Continue reading Broadway & Smiling Dogs Rule (no knitting)

THe weather has finally turned so nice! I'm trying to maximize my time outside and in the garden. Also, we've got company coming over on Monday. Shocking, but for today weeding and seeding and composting takes priority over knitting. Momentarily. There may be knitting podcasts listened to during the outdoor work, but I really enjoy… Continue reading Preview

So the Arctic is a no-go. And I'm okay with that. We're looking into getting a second dachshund - going to the same place from where we got Jackson today to look at his half-brother (a long hair) and his father (!) (a smooth black / tan). The long hair is ours! Coming home on… Continue reading Choices / Advice needed! (Edit)

Anytime I think of something being over and done with, I think of the old HBO show "Baingames" - I tried googling and didn't find much on it - it was around 1984. Ending with "Braingames is now... Over!" anyway.I am having difficulty with it being so grey and overcast today. Yuck. Hee - I… Continue reading April 22 – Vacation is almost over!

Happy Easter! I used those easter chickies in my placecard settings at Easter dinner which I hosted - see, like this:I love those little chicks. Bitter with Baggage is highly amusing. I would love to see a series with these little chicks and knitting... (it may not top this though)Easter dinner was a huge success.… Continue reading April 17 – vacation!
