I'm leaving in a Camper.....

Thursday, 27 April 2006 7:17 A GMT-06
.....I KNOW when I'll be back again. But my stash will be safe in the hands of a competent hair dresser. Oh, and a great babysitter too. You didn't think I'd leave my girls to fend for themselves, did you? Only when it's knitting time. A bit was ac

Where did the day go?

While I was waiting to tutor I was talking with the school's Day Care staff. One lady said "Only 19 days of school left". To which I replied, "Only 19 days until my prison starts". Not really. But it does present a problem getting

Day of relaxation

Tuesday, 25 April 2006 9:35 A GMT-06
Night of hopping. 4 things. That's all I have to do tonight. 5:30 get Younger to Brownies. My cousin is helping with that. He will pick her up as he takes his daughter to Brownies. 5:45 Pilates. Too bad I can't him help with that. But his wife is the

What did I win?

Well, it wasn't the passes to Holiday World, that I put most of my tickets on. It wasn't the trips to the Spa for massages that I put a few tickets on. In fact, it wasn't something I didn't put any tickets on. But it was something my Elder put her ti

Big release of breath

Whew! Time to relax. The next 14 hours belong to me. OK, and whatever my family needs. But I am hoping that isn't much. OK, it also belongs to the laundry so that Younger will have a clean uniform for her game in the morning. But I do not have to be

Just read it

I don't care about which side of the issue you are on. Just read this, and have a box of tissues close to hand. Blessings: My family

Hey there stranger

How are you? Me? Busy as usual. But having too much fun to stop! Easter: Wonderful. Except for the potato casserole I slaved over hitting the pavement. Hubster thought I hadn't worked hard enough on it evidently. Dumped it right on my Mom's driveway

Happy Easter

Just popping in to wish everyone a most Blessed and Joyous Easter. Just try to remember the reason for the festivities. It's not about the Easter Bunny, the Easter Eggs, or the Easter Dinner. It's about the One who sacrificed all for us. He is Risen,

I'm here

Thursday, 13 April 2006 3:17 P GMT-06
Just been busy. Today was a fun morning at a local Catholic School where I taught knitting. The girls were so much fun. Just trying to reassure them that they will get used to it! Relaxing they said? Yes, I said. Before that it was running to soccer

A Cry for Help

Tuesday, 11 April 2006 7:37 A GMT-06
I need it. What can you do to help? Knit me up some 6" squares of acrylic yarn to use for animal cage liners for our local Humane Society. We are involved in a live broadcast there on April 20th and I would love to have a bit more than we have r

A Good Day was Had by All

At least by me. We headed out of town AT 8:00 for Fleece Fair. Barely remembered to stop to grab Sherry on the way. Now, would I forget her? Not me, but Donna would. Wait, Donna did! Each rider in the car was gifted with a Leetle Bag from me and co

Fun times

I am sorry, you won't find Chrisknits here today. She has skipped town, flown the coup, slipped out the back door. She's done gone and went. Now, without an animal to take over the blogging duties, and not letting the kids get their hands on it, she

Somebody remind me....

to stop staying up so late trying to get things done! There is a time and place for everything, and midnight is not the place for it. I just end up making stupid mistakes that must be ripped back. I finally put it down mid row and just went to bed. G

Argh!

I am halfway done with the right front. even with the repairs I have had to do to it. Yep, more uncrossed, untraveled stitches. That's what happens when you knit with friends. Light crowd yesterday morning. We solved the world's problems, so no need

A good time was had by all!

Wednesday, 5 April 2006 7:36 A GMT-06
We had our once a month East Side meetup last night. The 1st Tuesday is Borders every month, the rest of the month we are in our "local" spots. It's quite funny how we are in such a small city, but we have definite sides of it we

Wasn't there a Brady Bunch song with this line? You know, one of those "talent show" episodes where they competed for the prize and won with their charm and musical abilities? Not that "I" ever watched the Brady Bunch. Not me. An

It's all about the shoes

Monday, 3 April 2006 7:21 A GMT-06
Ya know how you get a hankering for something? I say some shoes in the LLBean catalog that came to my house the other day. I wanted those shoes. But I hate to shop from catalogs. I'd rather try them on before buying. So I set out on Saturday, 2 kids
