...and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

The first half of that sentence ought to read, "I went to New Hampshire Sheep & Wool..." except that I didn't get a t-shirt. And I didn't take any photos, because I forgot my camera. And I didn't buy any yarn because I forgot to bring money and I was... Continue reading

10 Favorite TV Moms

1. Morticia Addams - The Addams Family Carolyn Jones played her on TV, Angelica Houston in the movies. Morticia was dark, mysterious, and deeply devoted to her family. In addition to soothing their savage souls, she kept the flames of passion burning with the amorous Gomez. 2. Carol Brady -... Continue reading

When I was tasked with coming up with a list of ten things I was looking forward to in May, I honestly had a difficult time thinking of ten things. And, of course, today I found more things about May that are making me happy, though I must admit they... Continue reading

10 Things I'm Looking Forward to in May

1. My dad's birthday, though he won't be here. He's going to be in Florida, helping my brother and SIL with their upcoming move to Texas. He might not be here, but he will get to spend his birthday with my brother, which hasn't happened too often since my brother... Continue reading

I had planned on doing some posts about things in this area, kind a tourist in my town sort of thing, while the kids were on April vacation, but we didn't end up going too far due to the Boston Marathon bombing. The Princess was on a school trip to... Continue reading

Self-Disenfranchised

That post title isn't necessarily supposed to make sense. For those of you who read Self magazine way back when, there used to always be something in the magazine that started with self-. I've been reading Self for probably close to 20 years, and I know that my co-pilot Nancy... Continue reading

Mysteries of the Universe

Nancy and I really are twins. We're having the same focus problem at the same time. Mine seems to deal with words. I haven't been reading much. Every time I start to answer e-mail, I get distracted and, well, you know, no one has heard from me in a while.... Continue reading

History in Action

Before I start today's post, let me first say that I have been having internet issues in the extreme. Our cable provider sent us a new modem that we had to install in order to receive even higher speed internet than we already receive. The installation was a success, but... Continue reading

10 Things You Miss From Your Childhood

This week's Ten on Tuesday topic has me feeling a little sad, remembering things from my childhood that I don't have now. I tried to limit my list to things other people can relate to, so I won't talk about specific people or feelings or other things that won't make... Continue reading

Ever have one of those days that is just perfect? That was yesterday. It was super warm (50 during the day, up to 60 at night) so the snow melted and we had lots of fog. While I'm not a huge fan of driving in fog, it is beautiful for... Continue reading

10 Ways to Beat the Winter Blahs

1. Eat something hearty and warm. I've enjoyed homemade bread with Progresso Tortilla y Pollo soup (left) as well as homemade chili (right) recently, as well as other delicious soups and stews. They really hit the spot after a long cold day. 2. Drink cold! I know that seems counterintuitive,... Continue reading

Paddling Aimlessly About the Isles

I'm continuing my armchair travels, meandering about aimlessly and enjoying my little escapes from real life immensely. I've started to miss Ireland quite a bit. I haven't been there in close to 14 years, believe it or not. That's a far cry from the 1-3 trips a year I used... Continue reading

Ten on Tuesday - Sticking With Your Fitness Routine

I'm hardly the person to advise about this, as I'm terrible at sticking to a fitness routine. But, here are things that work for me sometimes: 1. Find a fitness routine that you enjoy and *want* to do; it's easier to keep doing it. 2. A workout buddy who is... Continue reading

Too Many Choices. . .Help!

I wasn't feeling great yesterday, so I didn't do much, but I did finish three knitting projects. . . one started in 1998. The weather was crap, so there aren't any photos. However, as a reward to myself, I have broken into my Chevron Love Mitten Kit from Knitterly Things.... Continue reading

Armchair Travels Through Space and Time

We're having a strangely mild January here, though it's been pretty grey. That's given a weird otherworldliness to life. On a grey day, time can pass quickly without giving a hint that it's slipping through my fingers. It's a bit disorienting not to have the sun to give me a... Continue reading

Ten on Tuesday - Goals for 2013

I like goals. I am not a fan of resolutions. I know people often say that a goal needs to be specific. Well, actually, I've spent a lot of time teaching people about SMART goals. What's a SMART goal? A SMART goal is: Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Time bound I... Continue reading

I totally get #10 - it's about being more mindful about the resources you are using.

Commented Jan 9, 2013 on [10 Tuesday] Goals for 2013 at AnotherPurl :: a knitter's life

Half full, half empty, half baked, half a mind. . . I've got the organizational bug. For those of you who know me on Ravelry, you will have noticed that I have updated my queue, added some old projects, and, believe it or not, started adding my stash. I always... Continue reading

I'd be nothing without you. Well, I'd be something, but I would be different than I am today. Each and every person who comes into my life has some influence on me, positive or negative, with behaviors, ideas, and attitudes that I consider, embrace, or reject. As this new year... Continue reading

Well said! You said a lot of things I have been thinking, much more eloquently than I could have. 2012 was so difficult it certainly humbled me frequently and brought me to my knees more times that I care to remember, but it's time to come back stronger and stare 2013 in the eye confidently!

2013 Starts Tomorrow

I know what the calendar says. I've noticed that all the perfume commercials on tv in December have been replaced by weight loss ads. And I choose to ignore it. Tomorrow is when I will officially begin 2013. You can call it procrastination, but it's probably more along the lines... Continue reading

Share the Love, and a Free Pattern

I have a cold and I'm living on Nyquil right now, so I don't have too much to say, but I wanted people to know about a fabulous deal. Remember my POP blanket? No, it's not done. It was put aside so I could work on the stars. But here's... Continue reading

Packing It Up for the New Year

I said packing it UP, not packing it IN. I have got this sudden bout of getting things organized and under control. I've already been doing a lot of work in the house, throwing stuff out, recycling, and donating to charity, and that has extended to other facets of my... Continue reading

Remember these???? These are the Squirrel Sampler Mittens that I started in 2010. They were my football knitting because El Esposo loves football and I really do not enjoy watching it. So, a stranded knitting project on small needles was the perfect way to spend time with him while he... Continue reading

I didn't manage to get through November blogging daily. There's a lot going on right now and I don't want to blog about it. I did want to give a brief update about the stars that I started working on in November. I decided not to try to finish the... Continue reading
