Had a great time, wasn't happy with the race outcome, got stuck in race traffic on Sunday night trying to get into the track (4 hours), got stuck in race traffic leaving Charlotte on Monday morning (2 hours!), enjoyed my time with my husband and our

T-1 hour

Actually my Hubster says we are leaving in 20 minutes, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon. I still have to shower and pack last minute things.9 loads of laundry later, OK, maybe 7, I almost burned up the dryer and still have 1 load left. Pil

A note to all Blog-City users

Thursday, 26 May 2005 6:22 P GMT-06
I know it won't help, but be patient with the crew at Blog-City. I had similar feelings last year when they did the big upgrade, I was actually quite horrible in my anger. But after all is said and done, it's just a blog. It isn't your life at stake,

No pics, no problem

Thursday, 26 May 2005 8:26 A GMT-06
It really isn't a bad thing considering I have nothing photo worthy anyway. The Flame is progressing slowly. 250 sts a row, because of the smaller gague I am working at, takes time. And now that I am in the pattern it has slowed down even more. Compo

Still no show

Hopefully the pictures will be back online soon, hard to say. I am just crossing my fingers that they don't change the photo album feature completely. Now that I have gotten used to it, I think it is wonderful. But who knows what new and improved fea

No pictures yet

This blog is experiencing technical difficulties while they make it new and improved. Please accept our apologies for the lack of photographic proof that I did indeed finish 2 teacher's gifts in time for them to be delivered to school today. Really,

T-2 until liftoff

2 days. Just 2 days until my world is turned upside down. I will go from being a Stay At Home, while her kids are in school and she enjoys the freedom this provides, Mom to a Stay At Home, who drives 2 girls all around town looking for amusements

How to avoid cleaning the 3rd room in the line up

Sunday, 22 May 2005 2:27 P GMT-06
Find an item in Room #2 of the line up and relive your knitting journey. I was in Younger's room and the stuff was flying. When what did I grab ahold of? The 1st real knit item I ever made. A Doll Blanket, pattern court

Can you believe it? I finished something!

Friday, 20 May 2005 7:34 P GMT-06
I finished the May Stashbuster item!! Oh wait, which one did I have listed for May? Oops, that's right, I had Flash listed as May, but then moved it up to April since I KNEW I wasn't going to get Flame done in April. And then I didn't even get Flash

Same old Ugh

Wednesday, 18 May 2005 1:44 P GMT-06
Sorry if you came here for knitting content today. I have been knitting, but seems I have gone further backwards than forwards. I actually got out Flash last night and knit on it while watching soccer. Then it was home and time for bed. Sinus infecti

More Ugh

Monday, 16 May 2005 6:58 A GMT-06
I would love to show you some wonderful knitting, but I didn't knit a stitch or stitch a knit since I put away the knitting at the Lock-in. And why not? You would think it was that lack of sleep thing, and that was a bit of it. But once I got up from

Ugh!

Saturday, 14 May 2005 4:07 P GMT-06
What did I tell you. Coherent thought. Not around here today. I'd be glad if I could even find a thought in my head other than, "Man, my throat hurts!" or "When will the nose stop draining?". Yes, that is all that concerns me toda

Geared up and running

Friday, 13 May 2005 8:00 A GMT-06
Sorry Katy, you probably won't find my Thursday exciting, but here goes. Up in the morning and get the girls off to school. Planned to make Chess Bars for the reception later that day, only 2 eggs and I need 4. Turn off oven, put pan I already spraye

Oh, Hi.

Thursday, 12 May 2005 8:25 P GMT-06
Um, were you looking for me? Oh.....well......I have been a little busy. Tell ya all about it tomorrow. At least after I get home and before I leave. Actually I may have time to talk before I leave, we'll see how it goes.

Here comes the run for my life

Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:11 A GMT-06
I am gearing up for 3 days full of running, yuck (but I really don't mind working at the shop Pam, really I don't)! But I only have myself to blame for opening the old mouth and saying Yes. Today was preliminary work for the reception I am in charge

Good day for knitting

Tuesday, 10 May 2005 8:48 A GMT-06
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the temps might be high, but they don't feel bad. Maybe it's a good day to go outside and knit with some shorts on and try to get some sun on these bed sheets. Not being a bed tanner I have to get my color f

So, how'd ya like it?

Monday, 9 May 2005 11:00 A GMT-06
Come on girls, and you know who you are! Give us the goods. What did you buy. OK, D, how much roving? L, did an Alpaca ride home on the plane with you? Was it in your carry-on? K, what did you get? At least Fiberfish has posted, even if we do have t

Happy Mother's Day

As I was cruising the blogs before bed last night I happened by Glory. Such a touching post, and try not to cry when reading her web page (link in her post). It really makes you stop and think about this thing called motherhood in a whole different

Many of you may have seen the email floating around recently. If not, Sharon has posted it on her blog today. Go read it, I'll wait..... It's the one about the "thief" in the night stealing body parts, not the kidney kind, the legs, hips, t

If you do not have this program and you make a lot of changes in your knitting, RUN! don't walk, to your nearest retailer to get one. I absolutely love it. I finally found some time to look further into it's features. It's jam packed with all kinds o

This is even more pathetic

It's all in the perspective

This is not being said PERSONALLY to a certain person. I sure do not want to be accused of targetting any party unfairly. Any questions here are being asked of the general population. Yes things have been hopping around here. Have you been able to f

Hang my head in shame

Wednesday, 4 May 2005 9:30 P GMT-06
Yes, I am not too big to hang my head in shame and repent of my ways. Little did I know when I started this, what would come of it. But it is a mess, one from which I do not know how to escape. I tired very hard today to put something on paper. But m
