I’ve got more homework: I just got a call that I have an interview coming up for the on-call librarian position at my local community college! The catch is that the interview is one hour, with twenty minutes of that being a presentation that I have to give and make up on “Finding information […]
How many midlife crises are we supposed to have? Most people I know had theirs at 29, but are we then having another one in our mid-thirties and do we have more to expect? This morning I was thinking that the reason I have never gotten what I wanted was that I expected so […]
I am really really lame. I will chalk it up to lack of sleep, however, and getting some work from my mom so I don’t have much knitting time and/or am paying enough attention even to my easy projects. You see, I screwed up my Tivoli yet again! I set up for […]
I am cursed when it comes to projects these days. You know I had to restart Soleil and the Silk Corset in Spring Garden three times each. Then I had the other Tivoli problem. So today I was trying it on again and realized I pulled out some of the stitches, including […]
Finally, some pictures! Here’s about halfway (I think) on my Tivoli:
I’m making it in Endless Summer Lara from elann.com and am about mid-bust, just about to start the waist decreases.

Speaking of new needles: now that I have a whole bunch (but the 3-5s are the most useful) of course I need to cast on for a new project. Well, does it count if you are restarting a previous project? I decided recently that since I put down (and lost and then refound) […]

Here’s how they get you: according to Buyblue.org, I can’t shop at Michael’s because they give their donations to the Republicans. (Which party I am not a member — I just can’t get that grammar to turn out right, but you get the picture.) However, those 40 or 50% off coupons get […]
Okay, BR is at work and I’m wasting time between picking up OR and picking up DL at school, so here are some photos.
The Trendsetter yarn I bought at Tuesday Morning. It was kind of messy, but only $3 a ball.
The yarn I bought at Target for $1 a skein.
And finally, the unbelievably tiny […]
I got tagged again! Roberta got me with this one:
1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag five people to do the same.
Back in January, I prophetically wrote:
“I’m not […]
