Fun with Reality Television

Sunday, 31 August 2008 3:31 P GMT-05
I went to NY last week to do this and this.And I haven't knitted in at least a week. I'm developing some sort of arthritis in my right index finger from mousing (and I'm going to blame all of the Photoshopping I've done in recent mon

@*$!*#! the MTA

Last month, when I received my credit card bill, I noticed that I had been charged twice for my monthly bus pass.  I called the MTA and was told that everyone was double charged and someone had been assigned to credit accounts.  I got my cr

There's a big blonde bunny that's been hanging around Dad's property in Bel Air.  We saw him on Sunday evening as we were leaving Chez Dad.  I've never seen a rabbit like that in the wild, so I think he's probably an esc

Home Again

Sunday, 3 August 2008 12:12 P GMT-05
On Friday I met my friend Melinda in Fells Point to wander around and have lunch at the Black Olive to take advantage of their Restaurant Week prices. I took the #11 bus from home. Now that it no longer heads West toward work when it gets downtown,

My Bad

Oops! It's been a while since I posted here.  Just thought I'd give my three readers an update. :)I'm still working on the simple shawl of SWTC bamboo.  And that's about it.  It's nice and mindless and I just don

When Dumb Ducks Meet Good People

Read here.In other news, I need a vacation.  For about a month.  I don't even need to leave town - I'd be happy being anywhere other than sitting behind this desk.  I have far better things to do than work.  Unfortunately,

Frustration

Wednesday, 9 July 2008 8:08 A GMT-05
Do you ever feel you're being pulled in several directions at the same time, none of which you want to go?Do you feel that people only contact you when they want something?Do you expect people to act grateful when you do the something they reques

Three Kureyon-chans, in Shinano, Kureyon, and Silk Garden. And Pete, because somehow it seemed appropriate to include a black cat in the image.  :) Although, unlike Chaos, Pete wasn't all that thrilled with my interrupting his nap in the sun

Pardon Me...

Tuesday, 24 June 2008 7:30 A GMT-05
...as I continue to horribly neglect this blog over the next month or so.  Blogging Shear Genius is proving to be a lot of work!I hope though to get some pics of finished knitting and post them here eventually.  Don't hold your breath

Regrets and Memories

Friday, 20 June 2008 12:51 P GMT-05
My Dad just called to say he was at his storage locker and he found the items I asked for.  When we had to move him out of the big house in Guilford in which I had spent my 20s and early 30s, we were overwhelmed with the amount of stuff we had a

An Update

Wednesday, 18 June 2008 11:17 A GMT-05
What I'm Knitting: currently, I'm working on a zippered felted bag pattern from Weekend Knits.  I can't remember the name, but it's the one that is stripey and uses leftover yarn.  I have tons of leftover Noro scraps and am

Did I Miss the Memo?

Wednesday, 11 June 2008 8:36 A GMT-05

Executive Decision

Wednesday, 28 May 2008 7:53 A GMT-05
As I'm the only one qualified around here to make an Executive Decision...I realized that Stitches East will once again be in Baltimore, and Brooks Farm has, in the past, had a vast collection of their yarns present for purchase.  Sooo...I&#

Slow Going

Saturday, 24 May 2008 8:02 A GMT-05
It's slow going with the Saundra Throw - I started on my third hexagon last night and am 7 rows in.  It's an easy knit, and I like the way it's turning out so far.  My only concern is the amount of yarn I have currently.  I
