As today is Thanksgiving, I thought that I would remind myself all the reasons to be thankful prior to starting the stress of the actual holiday, wherein people will likely pry into my reasons for not, as yet, helping to spawn the next generation. So here, mostly in no particular order, for your viewing pleasure [...]

Ten Things I Don’t Hate About You
Posted in Dogs, Life, Pets on November 15, 2007 | 5 Comments »
So, since we got Max, my blogs have revolved around all the bad things he’s done and how I wonder what we were thinking that stormy, tornadoey day. In all honesty, the little booger is a sweetheart. In honor of him and JD (and of course, as an ode to the greatness of Julia Stiles [...]
I Am a Golden God(dess)!

Things I have learned in the last 36 hours:
1) It is possible to spend eight hours playing a video game. Every time I play Guitar Hero III, I am reminded of the scene in Almost Famous where the guy jumps from the roof of the building and screams, “I am a golden god!” Nothing is more satisfying [...]
Max(imum) Destruction

Max should be renamed Destructor. No, really. He’s like a comic book supervillain. Just when we think there’s nothing left for him to do that he has yet to do? He finds another way to surprise, shock and amaze us. Not really in a good way, either.
It must be duly noted that last night’s debaucle [...]

Ever since I picked up yarn and needles, I found that knitting, albeit something I don’t do every day, fulfills a need within me. I’ve tried to determine exactly what it is about knitting that intrigues and captures my imagination so much. A few months ago, in an online knitting group, one of the women [...]
Let’s Go! Red! Sox!

Woof woof woofwoofwooooof! (JD and Max celebrate the Red Sox winning the ALCS at 12:30am Monday morning) JD was a bit tired by this point, but there’s nothing like watching Theo receive the trophy:
Max was more excited though:

Perfect fall weekend. Changeover to new trash system starting on Monday (meaning no massive cleaning). What does all of this mean? FOOTBALL, KNITTING, READING and…karaoke. Yup, the random conglomeration of activities that describe my life.
Friday night we went to Koy (the bar attached to a local Chinese restaurant) for karaoke. How much better does life get [...]
Extreme Makeover - Living Room Edition (and Sundry Sunday Knitting)
Posted in Knitting, Life on September 23, 2007 | No Comments »
On October 25, we will be living in our house for five years. As of last night, we have our first fully adult furnished room. By “fully adult furnished”, I mean that we purchased, instead of inheriting, furniture that did not require little tools and that all looks, if not the same, at least, [...]
A Stitch in Time Idea

So, my fantastic friend Bella Blu Mama gifted me with some awesome remnants this evening (THANK YOU!). The lovelies were some beautiful merino and some lovely leftover Malabrigo, mainly since I mentioned that I’m a Malabrigo virgin. (I know - oh the horror!) Not to mention, I was also lucky enough to score (since it’s [...]
Dream On…

Dream away. I think I’m gonna have to sta-ayy and kni-it forevvvermore. Ahh, bet Color Me Badd never expected “I Adore Mi Amor” to be parodied in the knitworld. However, since I can turn any song into a puppy song, I’m pretty sure I’d be equally talented with knitting songs. (As an aside, I adore [...]
