There is really nothing much better than getting real mail and the past 2 days have been most excellent for that here at The Old Chapel. Monday I received my graduation pictures from Florida. Still haven’t gotten my diploma yet, but that’s ok. Anyway, I had ordered a package with four 5X7’s in it to …
So, I have been a very bad blogger! Are you gonna spank me now? Huh? Didn’t think so. I know that I’ve been bad but I actually have a pretty decent reason for it. I was in the US for the past week+ and I didn’t have a whole lot of internet connection nor time to connect. …
I am fully caffeinated for the first time in about 2 months. Yesterday, I went out and filled big blue (my trusty 52 ounce insulated mug) up with flourecent yellow Mountain Dew goodness and ice and drank deeply. It was oh so good. I think that I finally understand serious drug addiction. So, I was slurping …
Ok, so I am not going to say anything about blueballs, I just couldn’t stand not using it. I accidentally typed in blueballs the first time I tried to type bluebells. What can I say, that’s where my mind goes! So, I’m sorry if you found this post hoping for a cure for blueballs or …
Today I got this package delivered to me. It is from the British Wool Marketing Board. I placed an order with them for both some posters and some wool for spinning. Today, I got my posters, as well as a few other goodies. I ordered the posters to help decorate my attic yarn …

Today I found the local boarding kennel. I say the as there is only one that is, what I would call, nearby. It’s in a small village (about the same size as Ivinghoe Aston) called Horton. Every time we drive through it I think or say, “Horton hears a what!!!?!?!“. It’s an illness, I really can’t help …
It is a rainy afternoon here in the not so lovely (currently) English countryside. Actually, I don’t know if rain is exactly what I would call what it is doing outside currently. It’s very misty and really closer to a drizzle than a full-on proper rain. Let’s just put it this way, the dogs look …
Tonight I finished my final term paper as an undergrad. There was no blare of trumpets or very official man in a suit to shake my hand, yet it is done. All I have to do now is walk, and let’s face it, I don’t have to do that to graduate (I would only …
I am writing this post from Infusion Tea, a cosy tea joint (that just sounds wrong on many levels yet I persist in using it!) where I am waiting for somebody (anybody!) to show up for Yarn Therapy night. Last week Lily and I were the only ones to come (along with a lovely, though non-yarny …
