Nicknames

Here’s Lily in her Dublin Bay socks, finished last night during the final minutes of ER, and the first few minutes of the local 11:00 news.
No, Lily’s not her real name….. and this is actually a rare sighting, she rarely lets me put her on the blog. No, Lily is just one of her many [...]

Questionable Taste

I was remarking to Kaity the other day how I had more comments on my ugly/cool Trekking Jaywalkers than anything else I have knit. She intimated that perhaps I have a whole lot of friends with questionable taste in what’s cool.
It got me thinking, why do we decide what we absolutely will or will not [...]

Spring Fever

I’m sitting here, getting ready to work, hoping for those magical words “No Jobs Available” to pop up on my computer screen. It’s rare, but maybe once a month, if I’m lucky, we’ve all typed faster than the doctors can talk, all the dictation has been typed and is current….. and there’s no work.
That means [...]

I Love ‘Em…. I Love ‘Em Not

Really, these could seriously be the ugliest socks in history…. or the coolest. I totally can’t decide if they’re just butt ugly, or really cool.
Most people in my house are voting “ugly.” However, they all know I’ll wear them – a lot. And, they’ll complain everytime. So what…
So, you know, the old photo shoot – [...]

Show and Tell

When one of my nieces was in Kindergarten, the way they did Show and Tell, was every week it corresponded to a letter in the alphabet. “A”, bring something to show and tell that begins with “A”…. etc.
One week at “Monday Night Dinner” (I will get around to telling y’all about that some day), she [...]

Extreme Egg Hunting

When the kids get older, the stakes just get higher. See, we always do Easter with my parents and my sister and her family. My sister and I take turns hosting every year. Now, between us there are six kids, ranging in ages from 10 to 21. So, this year, the “big kids” opted out [...]

Hey, A Sock!

D#2 woke up this morning (at 11:00 am, must be nice…), and the first thing I heard was a happy “hey, a sock!” She tried it on, and it fits perfectly, and she likes it. Yea! Yes, yes, it does need a mate.
The yarn is Lorna’s Laces, Sherbet colorway, Dublin Bay sock pattern. I’ll [...]

Every Once In A While

This is my “grandma necklace.” My grandma died about 22 yrs ago. I’ve talked about her before. She was the grandma who traveled with grandpa (grandma in the purple shirt on the camel-grandma), the one who bought all the charms for my charm bracelet, the one who let us kids eat ice cream on the [...]

"Look At Mom"

I have GOT to stop drinking the margaritas at our local Mexican restaurant. Ok, I’m a lightweight drinker anyway – half a glass of anything, and I’m feeling it. Combine that with the fact that I have, maybe, two drinks a month…. cheap date.
But this place – they serve one FINE margarita. And, it [...]
