Good Thing I Learned to Knit

Things are always changing. I’ve got a few Tuesday afternoons to myself left, then school’s out – then my Tuesdays are not my own again.
That’s not really a bad thing – it’s just a “busy” thing – and after 20+ years of it being all “about the kids” – I’m just getting a glimpse of [...]

Wide Awake Now!

This was a “girls weekend.” The hubby’s off saving the world, and the boy is off with his grandpa and uncle…. so it was just us girls.
So, what do girls do? – stay up too late, eat too much, and shop of course!
Saturday night, after a marathon day of shopping, dinner out, and more cosmic [...]

Ch-ch-changes

Alrighty then – since I have nothing new to show you on the knitting front…. actually a lot of knitting on the shawl going on, but it’s just more of the same ol’, same ol’….

"He’s Looking for his son…. Fabio"

Seriously….I have the memory of a goldfish (or whatever kind of cute blue fish Dory was in Finding Nemo).

He thought people should know the whole “process” and truly [...]

I am not easily seduced.
I am passionate about family. My kids. My husband. My God. Beauty.
On our “girl trip” (the one with the First Class Lady) we went to the Guggenheim and there was a Monet exhibit. It was unbelievable. Such beauty. To see it in person…. Standing [...]

Baseballs, Bands, and Cosmic Bowling

Throw in shopping for a new dryer, and that’s the hodgepodge of my weekend. Although, right after this I hope to sit down with my knitting for a bit.
First the baseballs – and it’s not a good thing… We live right next to the park, and during softball season they come over the wall, [...]

First Class

About five years ago, my sister, mom and I went on a “girl trip” to Manhattan. On our way home, sitting in the airport, dog tired, they called our names to come up to the ticket counter. Oy… what now, PLEASE don’t tell me they’ve overbooked and we’re being bumped.
Well, they were overbooked, and we [...]

Yes, that’s my Marilyn’s Not So Shrunken Cardigan, blocking after a nice wash. Stooooopid cat!
