I’ll be taking Thursday and Friday off to hang out with the in-laws, then recover from hanging out with the in-laws.  I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week, and I hope to be back on Monday with a post of substance.  (It would be a nice change, wouldn’t it?)

I’ve got nothing.  Really.  As recompense…more bear ‘tocks.

(It’s cute, but do you think it’s Cute Overload cute?  I keep thinking about sending it in, but then I hem and haw and…well…you know me.)

As I walked out of work this evening, I happened to glance over at the dumpsters across the parking lot.  I work pretty close to the foothills, and wildlife is pretty common in the area – bunnies, deer, foxes, the occasional elk, and even mountain lions have been known to prowl down into the neighborhoods [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a meme…which totally makes it not a cop-out, right?
Stolen from Mouse:
1. Magazines subscribed to – Real Simple.  I also get magazines from HRC and Heifer International, but they’re not so much subscriptions as perks from donating.

You may have noticed a dearth of knitting content around here.
That’s because there’s been a dearth of knitting around here.
In a totally unsurprising turn of events, once I committed to knitting a bunch of Christmas presents, I lost interest in knitting.
You’d think I’d learn.  I don’t do deadlines.  I don’t do obligation knitting.  I watch [...]

Why didn’t you tell me?

Otherwise known as “You should always check your blog in all available browsers.”
Okay, when I upgraded to the newest version of WordPress, and I mentioned that I knew the page labels at the top of the page were screwy, I was looking at it in Firefox.  The only thing I noticed is that the pages [...]

Now that the paid time off I’ve been earning has finally caught up with the deficit from the honeymoon, I decided to cash a bit in for today.  I’d been keeping an eye on the weather, and since today promised to be perfect it seemed like a good day to go to the zoo.
I’ve been [...]

Windows, doors, and bugs.  *shudder*
It’s really quite humiliating to be two weeks in to a new job, trying to come across as smart, professional and sophisticated, only to be reduced to shrieking hysterics by a bug.

I am halfway done with hating this pair of socks!

At this rate, I have another three months of hating this pair of socks to look forward to.
Actually, it will probably be longer than that, since if I ever want to actually wear these socks (and I do, since I do like the yarn,) I’ll probably [...]
