I was a bit busy this weekend

Aside from finding a free app for my droid that will let me post to my blog and seeing Sherlock Holmes, this weekend was a busy. Before I left for Christmas I stopped by Goodwill to see if I could find a cheap book to read on the flight back east. I always [...]

Brooklyn Tweed in Seattle?

Why yes, Brooklyn Tweed aka Jared Flood was and still is here in Seattle.  At least for a few more days anyways.  I was fortunate enough to be able to see him speak thanks to the Seattle Knitters Guild.  He was great.  Just the nicest, coolest guy.  I wish I had a ton more money [...]

Quidditch assignment numero 1

We got the first assignment for quidditch.  And here’s the finished homework assignment.
Find the following people among players on your and the other teams. (Each person can only be listed once.)

Someone with the same craft as you.  Lily May Clearwater – I knit and while I have some crochet hooks, I haven’t really gotten that [...]

Jen – I blame you

Jen, you know I love you, but I blame you for Kink.  I came home from swimming and started to run a bath.  Because, quite frankly I’m a bit chilled after swimming, so a hot bath does the body good.  I get in the bath and that’s when Jimbo and Kink come in.  My bathsuit [...]

It's done. I'm signed up for the Seattle Half Marathon

There’s no backing out now.  I’m actually pretty excited about it and I’m hoping that the excitement will last the 8 weeks it will take to train for it and run it.  Dad, I may need a few things from Goldstocks   Do they sell those sneakers with the wheels hidden in the soles [...]

Could someone tell me why my cat is so strange

This is the way my cat feels the need to sleep.

Yeah… it’s sick.  She’s constantly showing her “goods” to anyone and everyone who might be visiting or looking in my windows.  i think she might be running some sort of kitty peep show while I’m at work.  There’s a lot of cats in the neighborhood [...]

Spiders and other wonderful things

I came home one night recently to find a large spider hanging out by my front door.  I grabbed the camera and got a blurry shot of him or her (i didn’t get close enough to find out what the sex of the spider was).

yeah… it was big.  At least 2 inches.  After he/she was [...]

I've hit the wall.

I got thru all my fabric and that was it.  I hit the wall.  So now I’m making the executive decision to stop that and start knitting and relaxing.  Just as Kink did last night while I was trying to figure out how to kill spiders.

She’s a true Red Sox fan – note the Red [...]

I've been attacked by sudoku

It’s my latest addiction.  It’s so frustrating but it’s actually a great stress reliever.  I tend to do a few when I get home from work.  And I’ve been doing a lot of reading.  I’ve gone thru 3 books in a couple of weeks.  I’m going to have to do thru all my books again [...]
