My t-shirt cake (it tasted much better than it looks, and that icing is hard to decorate with!)

So we have survived one of us getting older, our move into the 21st century (I got an Ipod for my birthday), and Easter brunch. Like having two birthdays in a row wasn’t hard enough, going to a huge brunch where they had (among other things) handmade chocolates wasn’t great for my waistline. […]

I’m depressed, even though I had a pretty good morning. None of my brilliant knitting ideas worked out so I feel like I’ve wasted about a month, and even though I have so many projects in the works, they all fizzled out too. I’m only actively working on my baby blanket, with the tie […]

I can’t wait until Friday night! I’m finally a gym member again after 11 years, but of course with the kids I have to wait until I”m able to find a babysitter. So hopefully from now on I’ll be at the gym every Friday and Saturday nights! I really need it after the many pounds […]

So I still don’t get the obsession with Knitty’s “Clapotis” — it seems like everyone out there is knitting this scarf/shawl, except me.

I don’t ever want to go back to work if I have to deal with the *&^^% I had to yesterday. You know, it’s 2005, and I guess I feel like we should have full text access to every journal online. Well, we don’t. (Or at least my school doesn’t.) I got really excited when […]

So is it weird that I am now buying pretty much only black yarn? Different types, just mostly black. Although I will say I bought some dark blue Cascade Pastaza today but only because it was on sale. I love that yarn. I used the red for my poncho and am not quite sure […]

Research is hard. I’m glad I have another 2 1/2 years before I have to go back to work because I can barely deal with one class a semester. I’m taking “Seminar in Theory and Research” (I know, very exciting, but for us librarian-types it is interesting), and I have to, I think, write […]

Here’s some kid stuff. (Just the stuff putting a wrench in the rest of my plans this week.) We have an interview for DS2 to attend DS1’s school on Wednesday, and so I want to please them so they make sure and take him but of course March is the worst month. They have 3 […]
