January and February have always been lousy months for me and this year is no exception…I really need to get some of those sun light bulbs for the lamps and see if that helps! I completely flaked on my anticipated plans for last night and was in bed by 9-ish! This is really just feeding [...]

This gray weather is starting to have an affect on me…all I want to do is crawl under the sheets and stay there till Spring…and to think I once wanted to move to Norway! I also think my attempt at clothes shopping yesterday has added to the sheer exhaustion…malls tend to suck the life force [...]

Today was a rare treat, I had a weekend day off. We spent the morning at a Mall trying unsuccessfully to use the Sears gift certificate we got for Christmas. All but two items we had on the list were either not in stock (tea maker) or once we saw it in person not quite [...]

I really don’t think I need ot hold for the on the state of the thermometer right now. Let’s just say it has thwarted my desires to go for any sort of out door activity. This drop in temperature does have one small perk…I have finally settled on a new sweater project. I can’t give [...]

I had asked my Doctor for a referral to the Dietitian last time we met and yesterday was my first meeting with her. The nice Dietitian lady asked me [...]

Friday morning I knit and reknit the ear flaps for Amy’s hat and when I was happy with the look of them, I cast off and it was on her head a few hours later. She is pleased! The deets: Yarn: Handmaiden 4 ply cashmere (have no idea what the name of the colourway is) [...]

You can add whatever caption you think works…I am too addle brained at the moment to come up with something witty… Simply put: Chris likes it and he is beginning to understand that he will have to wear it forever as proof of his deep and unfaltering love for me and obvious worship of my  [...]

That was Denny’s reaction to my telling her about my recently arrived order from Spirit Trail Fiberworks she also teased me about being a fiber pig…but I think there was a glimmer of pride that I was clearly on that slippery slope to becoming a full blown missionary for the Work of Our People!
