Catching My Breath…

I’ve been busy since my last posting – Wed., I went to see KnitBud Anne and we had a great time with our “Xmas in July”, which is when we exchange the presents we didn’t send each other back in December.   (yeah, we’re slow — wanna make something of it?)
I gifted her with assorted yarns and she gifted [...]

Mitts v Socks. It Ain’t Pretty.

I truly believe, that at this point, we will have to retire to Maine, with winters in North Carolina.  Why this plan now?
It’s the HEAT, baby, that is driving me insane.  Whatever I have done outside during the last week or so, I am rewarded with exhaustion, uncontrollable sweating and the feeling that am breathing thru a [...]

Hot. So. Very. Hot.

It was way over 90 again today, so in order to beat the heat, we went to the movies again.  “Hellboy II” last weekend, “The Dark Knight” this weekend. 
I will not ruin “The Dark Knight” for anyone with spoiler plot points, but I will say this:  the amazing, and now lost-to-us-forever Heath Ledger deserves a [...]

Deer and Raspberries and Designing, Oh My!

I had been taking an early morning walk with friend Shirley 3X a week for about a month until her knees and schedule ganged up on her.  So last week, I did the 2 mile loop from my house down to the creek, and back up again.  I did this in 35 minutes, and was completely [...]

A Day Late and I’m Short More Than A Dollar, Dammit.

Can’t Trust That Day

Another broken night.  Up at 2am, finally back to sleep at around 4:30am, and up at 6am to feed the cats and take The Auteur to the train station for work. 
But it was not to be.  I fed the catlings, and went in around 6:15 to remind T.A. that It Was That Time.  I was [...]

Saturday, Saturday

What is it about Saturday that makes it the day of expectation?  Is it the thrill of having one day in a week where responsibility is behind you and no responsibility still exists for one day further; ie, sleeping in on Sunday morning?
Is is Elton John (“Saturday/Saturday/Saturday/All right for fightin’ …”) or the Bay City [...]

Midweek, Midway

The Auteur is finally back to work this week.  There are just not enough words in the English language to express the relief I feel for this blessed event.  After having T.A. home for the last 10 weeks, my privacy is restored.
I would say, however, T.A. looks upon this as a hostage situation instead of work: [...]
