I taught someone how to swim today
Tweet Among other things that i did today, I taught someone how to swim. ok, maybe not from the scratch. She could get around in the water, but didn’t know any of the strokes and wasn’t a real competent swimmer. By the end of the two hours, she was swimming the crawl stoke! Aside from [...]
Woo Hooo! We have a couch!
Tweet This morning i went to Ikea to get my couch and schedule delivery. I got there around 10 and it was the perfect time to be there. No one was there. I went in and asked if they had the cover that i wanted – the blue striped cover or the dark blue cover. [...]
The big trip to Ikea
Tweet Of course, when you move, there’s always a trip to Ikea. This time around I need to purchase a couch, tv/entertainment stand and perhaps a coffee table. I’m not too sure about the coffee table. It may just end up being another place to put more crap. Something I want to avoid doing. I [...]
Ah yes… it's all coming back to me now.
Tweet After work today I made my way to my first weight watcher’s meeting. Well, my first meeting in over 4 years. On the positive side, I haven’t gained any weight since my doctor’s appointment! But I still have a lot of work to do before I get to where I want to be and [...]

One sweater done and another started
Tweet I finished the Puff Sleeved Feminine Cardi. It’s too big. I also figured out that my torso is a bit longer so if I were to do this sweater again, I would have to lengthen the body of the sweater. It’s a sweet sweater and I wish I had been paying better attention to [...]
It's not allergies that's killing me
Tweet It’s a cold. I wish it were allergies. That way I could take a Claritin and be done with it. Now I’ve gotta deal with stuffed up nose, sneezing, coughing, aching and all the other assorted good stuff that goes on with a cold. I’m not so upset about the cold, as I’m glad [...]
It's been a good couple of years
Tweet But it looks as though my quiet Seward Park basement apartment life is coming to an end. My upstairs neighbor is moving out and the landlords are fixing up the place to try and sell the house. That means I’ve got to look for a new place to live. The big issue is that [...]
