A couple of you have asked about where I work, and how is it that I have scored a job where I can sit at my desk and knit lace all damn day. And while I try to take Dooce’s advice and not blog about work, 1) it’s a fair question, and 2) I’ve [...]
Woohoo! Two days in a row of early blog posts!
Despite the fact that Bradon is out sick for the second time this week (it’s either wicked allergies or a particularly persistent sinus infection – he should be going to the doctor today), I’m in a pretty good mood. I’ve mentioned that I used [...]
I saw it over at Mim’s place and thought “what a cool meme!” And then I forgot about it. Then I saw Chris and Chaos showing it off, and I thought “oh, yeah, I meant to do that!” It was when Snow posted hers, however, that I finally wrote myself a damn [...]
See this? This is a moral quandary. What we have here, sitting innocently on my dining room table, are two – count them, two – envelopes that contain gift cards to the happiest place on Earth. Fuck Disneyland…send me to the spa.
Think you’ve been to the spa before? Unless you’ve been [...]
Spring must be full upon us, because I’m getting that feeling where, if I have to sit still any longer, I think I might explode. I can’t stand doing ANYTHING. I don’t want to work, I don’t want to read, I don’t want to play on the computer, I don’t want to KNIT. [...]
Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes!
Last night was pretty damn wonderful. Dinner was excellent (a buttload of Naan, saag paneer, and the best chai I’ve ever found.) After dinner, Bradon and I came home and spent a disturbing amount of time playing with the new toys he got me.
Cube World! [...]
And Bradon won’t let me open my presents yet. Poo.
Bradon always laughs at me, because my birthday is never really just a birthDAY. It’s a birthweek, usually, and sometimes even a birthmonth. Presents trickle in at irregular intervals, because shipping gets wonked or things are ordered at the last minute. The [...]
At least, I hope so.
First and foremost, if you haven’t already, go over and wish a very happy birthday to everybody’s favorite Stalker. Go on, I’ll wait.
Now…I have a very important question for all of you. This is something that has bothered me for quite awhile, and I’m hoping that one of you [...]
It was Sandy who started the idea that Tuesdays are for grumpalongs. Tuesday seems to have released her from its icy grasp these days, but I’m more than happy to take up the “Ms. Crankypants” mantle and wear it with pride. Fucking A.
I don’t know what the hell my problem is today. [...]
Well, congratulations, Ragnar…you’ve converted me to the dark side. I have a record three projects on the needles. (Yes, I know that’s practically nothing. But to me it feels like I’ve spread my needles to every honey-tongued project that wanders by.)
The Mountain Peaks Shawl is, sadly, the project that is suffering most. [...]
