I hate being sick. Physical symptoms of the flu aside, I get this antsy feeling because I’m not doing anything other than taking periodic swigs of cough syrup and popping ibuprofin along with minimal housekeeping duties. I know myself well enough to know that I am not in the right state of mind to start [...]

I braved our garage sale through the weekend. Its amazing the kind of stuff that accumulates in a small house over the course of a year. Even more amazing; people are actually willing to take stuff from my home, and put it into their own homes where it’ll probably sit for a year or two [...]

This is the two ton elephant that I normally would pretend to ignore. I’m going to talk to the elephant. Here, right now. Every so often someone leaves a nasty comment for me, using a fake name, and a fake email address. The syntax and grammar are bad, the punctuation hideous. This person does know [...]

Just outside of Salem Oregon is one of the great wonders of the Pacific Northwest. It’s called the Enchanted Forest. This is not just an amusement park. There are rides, but the main attractions are fairytale and western themed walk throughs, mazes, tunnels, and slides and tons to see so the kids actually end up [...]

I ordered some custom stitch markers from Opal and she surprised me with a whole box of goodies along with the markers. But first– the markers. Lets just linger here for a moment to let the glory that is handmade goodness sink in. Just breath. Relax. Try not to covet. It feels like warm sweet [...]

I am off the caffeine free tea for the moment and back onto the coffee. I have a serious love for the coffee. Lets remember this in case of future mind controlling alien invasions. Bad parasitic aliens may take temporary control of a human’s nervous system and use them as a pawn in all sorts [...]

I woke up, had a cup of caffeine free herbal tea, sat at my spinning wheel and listened to Eric Clapton unplugged as I plied yarn. What have I done with the real me? Obviously, I am not me. I just can’t be. Look at my poor dog. Georgia knows that I’ve been taken over [...]

Things couldn’t be better. The Black Coffee roving from FiberOptic is almost sock yarn now. Please excuse the greenish hue, my camera does that under fluorescent lights. The greenish hue doesn’t exist in real life and I’m sure it could be corrected in Photoshop except that my attempts at correcting it turned out far worse [...]

I’ve been trying very hard to avoid the whole daylight savings disgruntledness that has been going around. Very hard. I have managed to lose my gruntle after all. Mainly because I work very hard to not suck at the guitar, and although its meant to be complimentary, it seems like when people attribute my non-suckatude [...]
