I am SO excited about Deb's cookbook. I can't wait to have it on my shelf!

[10 Tuesday] there is a non-knitting blog?
Well, yes. I do read two kinds of blogs: knitting and cooking. I still read most of my blogs via Delicious, but I am slowly transitioning them to the Google Reader. It doesn't hurt that a number of the knitting ones were already available as a group. So, my favorite non-knitting blogs. 1. Smitte...
Ah, library card! Good one!

[10 Tuesday] my favorite things
This week's topic is 10 things (inanimate objects) I do not want to live without. In the interest of time (and well, of interest) I'm going to skip the standard things that make a blogger's life easier: camera, computer, etc. and concentrate on the things that are part of the rest of my day to d...
We are so meant to be together! I have never been to Portland, but for years I've felt that it is where I should live next. I'm a little afraid to go out there, just in case I fall in mad love with it! Maybe we can buy houses next door to each other there someday!

I Love Portland
I miss the Pacific Northwest. This picture is most likely from 1999 (when I was in and out of Portland interviewing with Nike's legal department). I had waited to buy my first digital camera in Oregon because there was no sales tax. :-) I could live in Portland and almost did. The distance...
Knowledge is, indeed, power. I can't get enough of it, and as cliched as it is, the more I learn, the more I know how little I know! I find that student mind keeps me excited.
I think you should get your Latin tattoo. I have "Nulla dies sina linea" on my right inside forearm to remind me of Horace's smart advice "Never a day without a line"!

Nam et ipsa scienta potestas est.
I can see the Latin as a tattoo already. But OUCH it's a lot of words thus a lot of ink and a lot of needle. Nam et ipsa scienta potestas est. Knowledge is power. Those three words (in English) have anchored my life and kept me grounded. Long live research simply for its own sake. Does this m...
Thinking of you, dearest Sheila!

Smack Dab In The Middle
The title of this post begs the question; what am I in the middle of? It appears to be my second major MS flare (aka exacerbation). The last big one lead to my diagnosis (1/18/2008). Actually, statistically speaking, 2 flares in 2 years, 10 months is beating the odds. Statistics, sm...

Tantalized
I have a new Kindle. I am finally reading the Millennium trilogy. I'm late to that party, I know. Finished book two today. Book three is loaded on the Kindle. It's ready to go. It's too enticing. It tempts me away from any sort of productivity at all. Sigh... At least I'm doing the things I ...
The tight pants are something good about football that didn't occur to me when making my list! Turnovers sound delish!

Rip and read . . .
Those were the days. This little piece of history stuck with me for the past 26 years almost word for word. I found the actually copy the other day! in box of college stuff at my mom's house. I've recounted the story of reading this news item and reading on the air a gazillion times. That ...

I Feel Pretty Bad - But I've Also Felt Worse!
Here's what I feel badly about. I get all you fine folks to "like" my new Sheila Can Cope page on Facebook and then what do I do? I don't write, I don't call, I don't blog. Shame on me - I would send myself to the corner for a time out but the cats are already there. I promise (again) to try ...

Back to Ten on Tuesday--thanks, Carole! 10 Things I Wish I Had Known Before I Started College: Advice from Myself to Myself 1. Private school is expensive. Even though you're paying your own way (heck, eight years after graduation, you're still paying your own way), every time you skip your Fir...
I emailed you this, but, yes, it's more about the texture in a BLT for me when I use the Smart Bacon. Only other thing I miss is Franks n Beans. Haven't been able to get interested in the phony franks enough to try them, though!

[10 Tuesday] -- from the vegetarians
Today's 10 for Tuesday is about loving bacon. Now, I'm a card carrying (not literally) vegetarian since 1992, and my experiences with bacon are for the love of my husband and my friends. Other than that, bacon and I are distinctly not friends. Instead, I'm revelling in having a couple of days of...
I can't resist Philippa Gregory's Tudor books, and now she's covering the War of the Roses. I just finished The White Queen. Great summer reading!

very small pencils
These mini colored pencils were picked up last winter, I think somewhere in Seattle, but who knows, so I am linking to where I know they have them online here at Giant Robot. I love them. I haven't sharpened them yet. That could be interesting. Anyone have these and know how to sharpen t...

[10 Tuesday] my staycation
I have yesterday and today off from work, ostensibly so I can get more sleep. In reality, I'm doing all of the little things that I cannot normally do during prod week (I feel like prod week should be capitalized). I started a new sweater, I will be working on the scarf for the show, and I will ...

living in Quincy
Today's 10 for Tuesday is things you like about where you live. For me, it is a little strange, because a small part of me wishes we hadn't moved out of Braintree. 1. Quincy has a farmer's market. It is on Fridays during my work day, so instead I go to the farmer's market in Braintree that star...

Now, Day 28: Ten on Tuesday edition
I know. I know. I missed posting yesterday. I had my fill of words, though, and no pictures. Yesterday I spent the day reading placement essays for incoming freshman. Most were sincere arguments about why the student felt s/he belongs in a certain level class. Some were a few frustrated se...
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I know how much the pitter patter of puppy feet means.

Saying goodbye is never easy
In the past year, we've said goodbye to three four-legged members of our family. Gracie died last May, very unexpectedly. She was ten years old. She died in my arms and took a little piece of my heart with her. Last month we made the very difficult decision that life was just too...

Shoe Sale
Sometimes a girl just has to admit to herself that the shoes she adores do not adore her back. My first Malibrans in Wine (size 7.5) are a smidge small. I wore them only three times, for short spurts. Since I got them for a song, I'll pass the savings on to you. Bring these babies home f...

What's Not to Love? It has KAL in the Title!
Like many of you, I've been eagerly following our own Yarn-a-Go-Go's progress from finished draft to book shelf. I about busted my buttons when the Amazon box arrived with my pre-ordered copy of her debut novel How to Knit a Love Song. I wonder how many reviews of this book start with "I d...
