Some opinions differ

By in a good day, making stuff is good, we have fun

I had another great day. We got to sleep in a little this morning, which was nice, and it didn’t rain. I call that amazing! I went for a bike ride, to Zeller’s, to get more yarn for gifts. Shannon and I weren’t able to get to Gillian and Clive’s wedding last month, and I […]

Lovely day

By in a good day

Like yesterday, today the sky is beautiful. Well, it was 5 minutes ago, and that is what this is all about. I even went swimming this morning, largely by myself, and enjoyed the cool water immensely. I don’t get to swim enough, because of my crazy work schedule, so if I have to do it […]

I made this for you, Shannon

He likes blue, but the darker blue was kind of ugly, so I went with this sky blue alpaca/poly blend, same like my hat: It’s a slightly different pattern, but it’s easier and faster than my hat, I think this whole hat only took about 2 hours total. And won’t we be so cute jumping […]

I made this for you, Ali

She asked for green and blue, and this is what I came up with: It’s sort of more green than blue, and it has a heart flower embroidered onto it. It’s big for her big head.

Jeesh.

By in a good day, haha

I have been sitting here reading all kinds of different lists (here) for at least an hour and laughing my head off. Much to the annoyance of my couch-mate. It’s hard to ick a favourite as they are ALL awesome, believe me. Particularly these: Selected Minutes From Lolcat City Council Meetings, Haiku a Bitter Duck […]

How to have fun:

By in a good day, theatre

Due to excessive face painting, we needed to go to my old stomping grounds, Malabar, to buy more white. I had a feeling it would be a hit, and I was right. Doug was nice enough to let Ari try on costumes. Sometimes I really miss working there, people love trying on crazy stuff and […]

New hat

By in making stuff is good

Shannon was really hoping it was for him (uh, it’s PINK, and everyone knows pink is for girls!) so I have to go out and get more yarn. Good thing it’s an easy pattern and only took a couple hours to work up, and I always love yarn shopping. I don’t have to work ’til […]

Kids these days

By in fucking weird man, haha

   Here’s another sign that I am getting old: I don’t understand the fashions of today. For instance: On the subway ride home there were two mid-teen girls who were both wearing mini shorts with lumberjack socks and one had moccasins on her feet, the other had Birkenstocks. Ugly as hell. But before that, I […]

Good news vs. Bad news

By in a good day, daily grind, food, we have fun

I had a great day. Seriously. The three of us went out for lunch today at a funny little weiner restaurant that was pretty good, apart from the sporadic-at best-service. While there, I saw a flier for a farmer’s market that is reasonably close to where we live and was happening today. SO, I rode […]
