Sorry!!

I'd like to apologize to you for the tiny text, especially to you Internet Explorer users (switch to Firefox - it looks much better!). I'm having technical difficulties with font sizes in the style sheets, and Blog City is supposed to give me a hand

Still No Pictures of Knitting

Monday, 26 February 2007 8:53 A GMT-05
I have nothing new to report. I'm still plugging away on the Berroco Air blankie and am a little over halfway done. I tried on my ribbed capelet last night, 45 repeats in, and it seems to fit well enough already. I may not knit the full 56 repeats

Thanks...

...for your concern! It was lovely to get so many comments. Sorry to have worried anybody unnecessarily; I think you kinda got the same effect I did when I read the letter initially. I think I was most nervous because this was my first, baseline

Reading is Fundamental

When I got home from work today, I saw that my mammogram results had come in the mail. I have to get into the habit of reading from top to bottom, left to right, rather than starting in the middle. The words BREAST CANCER, all caps, made me slightly

Happy President's Day!

I figure that it's been a long time since I posted a picture of actual knitting, so here's one of the project that I leave at work. This scarf, in a cotton/rayon Wool in the Woods yarn (the name escapes me), is done in the same stitch pattern that I

Valentine's Day

I used to be one of those people who hated Valentine's Day. I hated the hearts and the cards and everything about it. I never ever had a special someone on February 14th. Not until I met Neal. Now I'm all about the hearts and flowers; I sicken my

Busy Weekend

Monday, 12 February 2007 10:45 A GMT-05
I took Friday off to get a haircut. It's no longer feasible to go to New Jersey for my hair, so I've been looking for someone local. In November, I went to the salon around the corner, and got a so-so cut. This time, I took a recommendation from m

Reality Thursday - I Can't Resist!

Thursday, 8 February 2007 10:25 A GMT-05
It's been a while since I did any recaps for my "Reality Thursday." I was really into Rockstar: Stupornova and then of course Project Runway really floats my boat. With those two over, we had Top Chef. I did enjoy that show and watched it every wee

Sometimes I Can't Believe How Stupid People Can Be

Wednesday, 7 February 2007 9:37 A GMT-05
So I'm coming home from work yesterday, via the crazymaking MTA. My bus came on time and was even a tad ahead of schedule, so I figured I'd be home right around 5:15. I finished my magazine and was busy daydreaming when I realized that the bus was

Brrrrrrrr!!!!!!

No matter how frantically I knit on this thing, it's not going to be long enough to cover my lap tonight while Neal and I sit in the freezing basement and watch TV. Yes, my Webs order came and I got to start on my Berroco Air Antarctic throw. It's

Six Weird Things About Me

Friday, 2 February 2007 10:29 A GMT-05
I am succumbing to the meme, even if nobody has actually tagged me by name.... 1. I have grapheme → color synesthesia, meaning that I perceive numbers and letters in color. It's a great mnemonic device.
