The Color Revolution Book Giveaway
Each year, with the announcement of Pantone's Color of the Year, I wonder, "How in the world do they decide?" and harumph, "Who made them the color boss?" According to The Color Revolution by historian Regina Lee Blaszczyk, such announcements aren't, as I cynically half-suspected, decreed by...

Quilting Notions Set Giveaway and Happy Home book winner
Happy Fourth of July to all our American peeps! This week's giveaway is being brought to you from the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Tennesse where Stephen and I are visiting family this week. Despite record-breaking hot temperatures (and no air-conditioning!) we've been keeping cool in an ic...
I knit or do some other handy craft. Creating things gets me past my sickness. I pick simple stuff that's not challenging and let myself really get into it. It takes me out of the "sick" mindset and reminds me that health consists of many different facets.
Getting on with it
I finally put away all of the crafting stuff that had been cluttering my sewing table. It'd gone through a few cleanups but there were a few things I had been working on when my mom died that I could... Continue reading

Change
I've been quiet for a little bit mainly due to busyness at work. It's been the usual. A ton of work. Small amount of time. Extremely high level of concentration needed. Life, family, hobbies quietly and sadly slip to the... Continue reading

Cleaning Weekend
It's amazing how life changes. I used to be able to clean this entire apartment in about 5 hours. When single, I'd buy a cheap ass bottle of bubbly, power up the vacuum and go to town with a duster... Continue reading

Vallery and Elisabeth, thank you both so much for your sympathies.
They really mean a lot to me and help with the healing.

Today was the first workday of the New Year for me...
Today was the first workday of the New Year for me and things were pretty much the same as they were last year, not that I was expecting anything different. Things that were once approved need to change again; I got turned down for usage rights on some art just days before my project launch so I'...
Why I Will Never do a Mystery Yarn Club Again
Last year I got "access" to a yarn club. I wish I had the description in front of me because it was basically everything I like in life. Nice colors. Semisolids. I'd been waitlisted so it was super exciting to... Continue reading

Back from La La Land
I'm back and still jetlagged from the off-site in LA. This was the only thing I was waiting for before trying to get back to real life; the only "holiday" thing left to get out of the way. For those... Continue reading

Dress Shopping
I'm flying to LA on Monday for the company's annual off-site. I've been dreading and kvetching about this for at least a month now so it will be good to get it over with. I know that I'll have a... Continue reading

Thoughts and Menu for 5/10/10
I'm a bit unprepared today. But I'm still going to give it the best shot I can. I had a busy, whirlwind weekend and was exhausted by 8PM Sunday night. I opted to not prep and pack my food and decided to just get some rest. The rest was worth... Continue reading

How I got here
The journey from 135 to 186 and change was not a direct one. In 2005, I weighed a healthy 130ish... That was down from the 182 I'd weighed in February. I'd lost over 50 lbs in time for my wedding day in October. I kept my weight stable for about... Continue reading

Beginning again
It's been a very long time since I blogged consistently - mainly because my life changed drastically from when I first started airing my thoughts. I moved from being a passionately vocal, opinionated and very open singleton, living in Manhattan, working for a DOTCOM to a wife, mother, more conservative... Continue reading
