Who needs pumpkins and fake headstones and spider webs and vampires when you have 70 lbs. of snarling, growling, teeth-baring, barking door charging the glass door every time a trick-or-treater dares to knock? Not us, that’s for damn sure.
How much do you want that peanut butter cup anyway, little superhero?

Ravens Rocks
Posted in Hiking on October 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
BF, MarleyQ and I hiked Ravens Rocks yesterday. It was a beautiful, albeit windy, day with temps in the mid 60s and the sun shining brilliantly. The only clouds in the sky looked as if they had been placed there with artistic intent. The hike was as perfect as the day.
We were worried about time. [...]
Why all the babies?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Enough with the reproducing already!!! I’ve had 4 friends have 5 babies this year. The last one was born last week, and I thought it was the end of the run. But no. Another friend had to go and get herself knocked up. At least she’s not due until May.
Look people, I understand. I do. [...]
Top Down Bonnet Begun, and Begun Again

Hey! It’s fall back! We all gain an hour! I wish the dog had known, as she was standing on my shoulders licking me from eyebrow to neck at 7:00 this morning.
What is up with the fact that my swatches SO often don’t knit up like my actual knitting? I swatch. I measure and [...]
Writing, well…

I remember when writing used to be easy and just flow from me. When rough drafts were my only drafts and they were good. What happened to that mindset?
Everything feels so stilted and formal now. It feels staged. It’s WRITING with fanfare and gongs and horns and canned applause. It has become an Event instead [...]
Bigfoot!

I finished one Bigfoot Sock last night!! I’m so excited. It takes a damn long time to knit for those size 13s that BF sports. The pattern is by Jen Showalter/Mean Girl Design but I can’t find the link to the pattern to share. The only thing I’d do differently next time is make the [...]
Hiking and stocking

I wanted to knit all day today. I haven’t even looked at my yarn. Sigh. It’s still early enough that it could happen, but I also have a glass of wine by the computer and so that diminishes chances that any productive knitting could happen. Knitting could happen, sure, but productive knitting and wine do [...]
Inspiration? Table for one? And babies.

I was told by a source that I trust that the more I write, the more inspiration will visit me. Fie on him if he lied!
I’ve had 4 friends have babies so far this year. One had twins. I have a lot of knitting to do. I’m thinking maybe the Peapod Baby Set… definitely some [...]
One reason I love my job

My e-mail to work today:
Subject: Dog still doodling
The damn dog still has the doodles, so I’ll be working from home all day today. Sorry folks, the chicken and pasta bland diet settle-the-stomach magic isn’t working, and I just can’t deal with coming home to a carpet polka-dotted with doodle. I will be in the office [...]
