I have done an informal survey and it seems as though the driving in this area is getting worse. Not over the past years, but rather over the past couple of weeks. I chose to blame it on the stress that is raging around all of us with the economic meltdown going on currently. People …
So, I got to start a new project tonight. Why did I “get to” you might ask? Why, I finished one of my special couch projects (that I can’t show you for a while [think Christmas] as it is a gift for someone) last night re-watching the complete Firefly series. Ok, so I only got …
Today at work I walked by a bench of marigolds and they reminded me of my grandmother. She always grew a hedge of marigolds in her garden, near the road. They were the open pollinated type, tall, hedgy, small pungent flowers. She would collect the seedheads in a paper bag that she kept in a dark …
My United Airlines flight leaves for Rhinebeck on the 16th of October. Today is the 5th. That means that I have 11 days until Rhinebeck (well, technically it is longer since the 16th is a Thursday and it doesn’t start for me until Sat., but that is beyond the point!) I am taking a class …
I have an urge. An urge that involves a dark blue sharpie, the cover of darkness and a small flashlight. Oh, and a sign on someone’s front lawn. Have you seen those McCain-Palin signs everywhere? When I very first saw one I thought that it said McCain-Pain and I though, “Heck yeah!”. Then …
Meara hates wheels. She, a 15 pound terrier mutt once managed to get a large dump truck to stop in the middle of our road so that she could proceed to attack and bite it’s tire. Seriously, the driver was laughing so hard he couldn’t speak. I’m just glad that he was a dog lover …
The hubby is gone and I am alone once again. There is a weird sound in the house, more of a vibration really. I’m not sure where it is coming from but it is making me think that I may very well be a cylon. I haven’t been spinning much of late because …
Tonight I got word from her people that one of the greatest dogs that I have ever known has left us. She went out into the yard and lay down in her favorite sunny spot and peacefully went to the other side. We could all only hope to be that lucky. She …
Yes, today I am working on those most maligned yarn objects of the 70’s. Why? Because last week at the Happy Hooker’s meetup (which, by the way, is tonight in the Altamonte Springs location!) Birgitt reminded us all that we needed to get our squares to her in order that they can be actually put …
I’m sure that y’all were waiting on the ends of your seats for the promised pictures of the yarn that was spun over the weekend, so here they are (and not much else I might add….). What can I say? The crazy yarn neighbor lady has struck again!
