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

Jive Turkey
First off, thanks to those who commented about the police tape scarf - the consensus is that it is a good idea, so I jumped in and cast on. So far I've got "Do Not" done - I'm going to adjust it slightly so it says "Do Not Cross Crime Scene" and repeat that. I'm… Continue reading Jive Turkey
Halloweenie-fest ready!
Even though the astronaut costume didn't work out, I did manage to finish the zebra sweater for Jackson. Apologies to Steven Pastis - author of my current favorite comic, Pearls Before Swine. I especially love the crocodiles - the males speak in this "barely articulate" manner, and greet their zebra neighbors with a great "Hullooo… Continue reading Halloweenie-fest ready!
Failed Halloween Costume (Dogs On Thursday)
I put a lot of items on my dog - a lot of them homemade knitted objects. He's a good sport, though you can tell by his face that he is doing it only because he loves me. Currently I am working on knitting his Halloween costume - it was an ambitious project and I… Continue reading Failed Halloween Costume (Dogs On Thursday)
Yadda Yadda Yadda
There really isn't too much thrilling to post about, so heads up - this is a mundane post. 1)In my love of reality shows I have found a lost love of my childhood! The Coreys - it's a reunion of sorts between Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. I had the biggest crush on Corey Haim… Continue reading Yadda Yadda Yadda
Still Life with Dachshund
After 2 botched attempts, the third time was the charm for my string bag (via magknits) (and some mods I read about on the craftster boards). I ended up casting on 45, knitting the lace repeats 14 times, then instead of binding off and seaming the sides, I cast off some stitches and worked the… Continue reading Still Life with Dachshund
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?
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)
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
