I’m dying here. I put in the window air conditioners after work yesterday so it was better, but Alex was up from 1 – 3 a.m. with wickedly itchy mosquito bites. So I’m hot, and tired. And I don’t want to be here (work). If I can just hold out for [...]
Mission Falls Wee Knits (purple) baby blanket
I just have a couple of things to say:
Co-worker is due in September but this needs to be done by the end of June before my holidays – ACK!
It is far too easy to calculate the total number of stitches in this blanket: 27, 210 – assuming I [...]
My house is clean! Clean, I tell you!
I love my sister. She is under the impression that I paid her to clean my house when in fact it was BRIBERY. That’s okay since the end result is the same. Now I can:
- walk across the floor without hearing depressing crunching sounds.- enjoy a gleaming kitchen [...]
Apologies for the long convoluted post…but its been an interesting couple of days and I really need to tease out the confused mess in my mind.
Here’s what happened.

Chicken pox has struck again! Last winter it was Alex…now poor Madeline is a pox-ridden, itchy, feverish mess that kept me home for two days administering tlc and Benedryl in large-ish doses.
I am spinning like a mad-woman – currently on the 3rd concentration (1/4) of magenta and the last of the 100 gram quantities [...]
Real time posting…
1:10 a.m.
Awake! Alex is too hot!!! I know this because he had to wake me up to tell me about being too hot. Because my knowing makes it better somehow? So, because I am awake, there were some muffins that had to be eaten and some surfing to be done. I have learned [...]
I swear I would if I had the time.
But you know, besides the full time job, part time single parenting, fur-covered dysfunctional house and continuous cash shortage (no assistance from cats, kids or microwaves there)…I’m doing FREAKIN’ FINE!!! Really.
Rant on…
I realized today that I haven’t taken any substantial time off since JULY. There [...]
