Cough cough

Not me, the Younger. She has a pile of tissues next to her bed that equals Mt Everest in height. The cough isn't too bad yet, and I am really hoping it doesn't go into croup again. That episode last year was more than enough for my lifetime. I think

Quick note

Thank you for the kind comments. They do mean a lot. Life has been full today. I made it to the shop for the Shawl Ministry session. A very nice time and a good turnout. One lovely lady came all the way from Jasper, a 2+ hour drive. She told a love

Nothing to show

Not a lot of knitting has happened since Wednesday morning. In fact nothing at all. Yesterday at work I was trying to get some things printed, only to find out the printer ink is acting up. The later part of the afternoon was spent helping a customer

Yep, I was called to serve. OK, to possibly serve. I made arrangements to have my shift at the shop covered. I called the neighbor to see if I could drop my kids off early to wait for the bus. Wrote a note to the bus driver in case I didn't make it h

Cabutch

Once when I was a wee lass, I was at a friend's house for lunch. These were close personal friends who knew me since birth. When Pat asked me what I wanted on my lunch sandwich I replied "Cabutch". Pat repsonded, "Cabbage?". No, &

I know, you can hardly contain your excitement. I have gotten through the tons of email, read all the back(b)logs and I am current except for the lists I went no mail on. Will catch up there later. Right now I have much to say and a little to show. T

Hmmm, what was I going to do today?

Thursday, 16 February 2006 8:42 A GMT-06
I think it's somethiing important, but what? I see bags packed all over the house, what are they for? Aren't I just evil! I could go even further and taunt my fellow knitting mates with the fact the temps will fall very low while I am away. And t

A Thief in the early morning hours

Wednesday, 15 February 2006 8:19 A GMT-06
There's a whodunit going on at my house. A theft, that's what it was, a total lack of respect for boundaries and personal property. When I find the thief I am gonna make HIM/her/it pay! Just look what I found this morning. Who did this? Why? Do the

Happy Valentine's Day!!! I hope your day is full of friends, family or at least fiber! Wouldn't fiber make a fabulous Valentine's present? It would be nice. Guess what I got? Card? Yes. Chocolates? Yes, Take Five one of my favs! PJs? Nope! Hubster ov

It's that time again

Time to spend mosts Sundays and a few Saturday nights from now until November, sitting on my butt watching the wheels go round and round. And some times  I will actually be up close and personal with those wheels. At least closer than

Just tie me up!

Saturday, 11 February 2006 5:41 P GMT-06
Cause I am about ready to Tie One On! Oh great! I am not supposed to finish anything during my Homer Simpson Olympics knit along. This is probably so quick and easy I can't help but finish it. Now what? And just why am I planning to knit one? Because

Thank you

I appreciated the nice comments. And you are right Meg, sometimes I just have to give myself permission to be blue. Yesterday was better. While at work I didn't have time to be blue, purple or green! Although I was colorful in Tilt. It was funny to s

I'm Blue

Thursday, 9 February 2006 7:48 A GMT-06
Some of you have noticed the color change. Wait, I'm sure all of you noticed, some have commented. I am blue right now. Not just in blog color. Not sure if it's a hormone thing, but since I am so blessed right now, it must be. Life is so good that I

I hate my computer!

I just had a lengthy post about blog ettiquette and the snarkiness going on around some blogs about what's proper and right. it's gone! Do I have the will to try it again? Not! In a nut shell: Blog, brag, show off, create your own blog post! Don't

Thank your teacher week

Monday, 6 February 2006 2:38 P GMT-06
Take a moment today to thank your teacher. Without them you would be less than you are. So, raise your needles in a toast to your knitting teacher. What, you thought I meant school teacher? And just what have they taught you that has been of any impo

I've got a feeling, Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl

Monday, 6 February 2006 8:21 A GMT-06
All of our married life I have had to listen to this little song my Hubster tries to sing. The original lyrics were "I've got a feeling, Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl". Alas, in past years this did not come true. But in his youth the

Yes, you can tell it's the Midwest from the crazy temps here. Thursday was a Spring like day with rain, rain, rain. Not too warm, not to cold. Friday we saw Fall like days. Crisp air, Blue skies and fairly high temp. Unseasonably warm. Now today? It'

I spent a lot of time there last night. First was the cabled sweater for the Scotland Baby, are you reading this Mayoress? Don't peek! I kept crossing one of the cables wrong. I am so used to doing mirrored cables on opposing sides, so I would do the
