One two! One two!
I needed to take a shower this morning, so I let Ben choose a show to watch (Thomas), double-checked the stairway gate, and hopped in. Pretty soon I could hear him running around and playing. Good! Then I heard him … Continue reading

Hello Again!
I actually have several drafts started, but instead I’m just going to write a silly little post, because I want to, and to get back into the swing of things, hopefully. I’ve missed writing! It’s amazing how little time I … Continue reading

It must be getting close.
The nesting urge has hit full force. The timing is excellent, though, because I’m home alone today and tomorrow and will have lots of time to get things done. Poor Dan has to work overtime today (though, I’m not complaining … Continue reading

Car Crash Story
I was involved in a hit-and-run crash today on my way to work. It was fairly minor – at first, I thought I had run over an exposed man hole cover (there is ongoing construction on this particular road, which … Continue reading

Ready for the Weekend
Well, as close as I’m going to get for now. I had to give up my nap to do it, but all of the dishes are washed, dried, and put away. The first floor is vacuumed. The last load of … Continue reading

I have an excellent excuse, really.
I know. It’s been over four months since I last wrote anything here. I know. But there’s a really good reason for that.
Just days after my last post, I found out that I’m having a baby!

I voted.
I voted for the environment. I voted for the economy. I voted for science. I voted for the rights and dignity of every American man, woman, and child. I voted for America’s standing in the international community. I voted to … Continue reading

Proud owner of a sewing machine
I bought a sewing machine a couple of weeks ago! I’m so excited. Of course, I have no idea how to use it, but that’s okay. I’ll figure it out. I watched the DVD that came with it and managed … Continue reading

Exhausted
I’ve had three naps in three days, but done no knitting for nearly a week. I’m sad about that, but on the other hand, it’s hard to knit when you fall asleep every time you get a chance to sit … Continue reading

My 28th birthday was yesterday [Friday - turns out I forgot to post this after it was written! Whoops!], and I had a wonderful day! I had phone calls from my whole family, including my brother, which meant that I … Continue reading
Spring Is On the Way
My poor little blog – I haven’t posted for over a month! And, even worse, before tonight I hadn’t done any knitting since I got home from Dallas. Between being sick twice and being addicted to solving puzzles in Professor … Continue reading
FO: Mom’s Wedding Purse
Here’s the purse I made for Mom for the wedding. I barely made it – I was sewing it up and threading the ribbon until nearly midnight. But, I was able to give it to her at the rehearsal the … Continue reading
Time is passing so quickly!
I’ve been knitting like a mad woman to get the birthday/Christmas scarf finished, and I’m almost there! I’m a little concerned about having enough yarn to make it to the end, though. I’m not sure if I’m going to make … Continue reading
Not much progress
Well, I knit a whole two rounds on my Everlasting Bagstopper tonight, and that’s the most I’ve accomplished since Sunday. Was I spending that time practicing instead? No, of course not. As a matter of fact, I skipped band rehearsal … Continue reading
