Happy St.Patrick's Day! My dad kept saying that quote at breakfast this morning. I thought it was from but apparently it's just an old irish saying (so says google). Anyway.We're snowed in. Dan's off having a boy's weekend. I'm enjoying being by myself, but I do wish I was able to go out to some… Continue reading Is this a private fight, or can anyone join in?
Swaps
We got packages! yes, yes we did! On Friday I recevied a magnificent box from Sharon (she's blogless I think!)I'll be set for a while - there's sock yarn and cotton yarn and a mohair (I think) wound with something else - and needles and chocolates! And a whole bunch of stuff that I wished… Continue reading Swaps
Weekend Whirlwind
On Friday I was way too tired to post. I did get a great swap box and took a photo of it, but it's so great it really deserves its own post. (To-do tomorrow).This weekend, Dan and I went into NYC to see My Fair Lady at the NY Philharmonic - it was excellent! We… Continue reading Weekend Whirlwind
Movies (and rants)
Rants: 1)My dog is not chubby. He may be a breed known for looking like sausages, but he is lean and athletic! The dog sitter called him chubby. They have a beef going - he doesn't like her at all, and she tries to hard to get Jackson to like her. 2) I would never… Continue reading Movies (and rants)
Are you ready to rock?
Jackson is.The shirt (from Target, where else?) is great. It even has zippers on it! If I could keep a bandana on his head (a la the guy from the e-street band, sil!) and add a little guitar, I'd have his halloween costume all set!! He's now pouting at my feet. Dude, you don't get… Continue reading Are you ready to rock?
I need more time for yarn
It's appropriate that the page in my Stitch 'n Bitch calendar is for "Socks that Rock" today - the package from the Rockin' Sock Club arrived! The binder is huge, the emergency sock yarn mini-skein is so cute! I've yet to knit on 0's, and I hate swatching, so it may be a while before… Continue reading I need more time for yarn
Catch-Up (FO & Swaps)
It's been a while, but life back at work following a vacation and a snow day just makes everyone crazy. Not to mention it is report card time. And they didn't get started on knocking down the wall in my classroom either, so it really looks like a bomb went off. Anyway, I finished the… Continue reading Catch-Up (FO & Swaps)
Gamer
Here I am, Friday night. My husband is busy playing Gears of War.I have found a game from my youth, and way more my speed: The Adventures of Lolo.We're content.
For my L&V Pal / And a stinky day
My Lime&Violet pal left me an anonymous comment that I'm answering here..."Okay, I have a few questions of my own for you.... Fire Away!1. What colors (shirts) do you wear most often? I just looked in my closet and drawers. I have button down shirts that are striped (blues, greens, some pink) and my knit… Continue reading For my L&V Pal / And a stinky day
Note to self
See, the thing about hound dogs and dachshunds is that they are all nose. Putting the treats in your back pocket (while initially a good idea - you have them ready to practice some training without Jackson seeing them) will leave the scent there. Even when they are gone. That's why he's sniffing / nosing… Continue reading Note to self
