Yesterday. It was only 7:10 am. And my entire day got derailed.By this little guy: That's a hummingbird in a coffin being prepared for burial. *sigh* Let me tell you. I did something different yesterday. I let the kittehs out before taking MyFavoriteKid to the bus stop, and clearly that was a fatal ...

Ok, so I have no idea where I left off, and I'm not going to go back and read my own blog. I cannot stand to be faced with the rambling. I think the last big thing that was happening over here before my hiatus was that I was trying to learn how to parent MyFavoriteKid through his troubles in school,...

Let's try this again, and see if I get to 10 this time ;-) Ten On Tuesday 10 Things You're Really Good At 1. Knitting. 2. Buying yarn when I don't really need it. 3. Jumping from irritation to anger. 4. Critiquing restaurants. 5. Cooking and entertaining. 6. Empathizing with other people. 7. Noticin...

Sometime last year I signed up to get weekly notifications from Ten On Tuesday, just in case I ever needed 52 bits of blog fodder. Obviously I did not, and preferred to ramble aimlessly with no direction or focus. I never did take myself off the email list though. I just got the weekly email this mo...

While I sit here doing more thinking about yarn, I might as well tell you about a couple of other things I'm tossing onto my "resolution" pile this year. I hate calling them resolutions, really. They're more like intentions or goals, and they certainly aren't tied to it being a new year. I think wha...

Y'all are soooo glad that the 2008 version of Blog365 ended and that I jumped off the bandwagon for 2009. Had I ran with it, you'd have been staring at 4 straight days of kvetching. I kid you not. I am soooo sick!! I started feeling poopy last Monday night, and it's been escalating ever since. It ha...

...but I do have a few intentions, it would seem. Has nothing to do with it being January 1st, though. Just some things that are on my mind as wanting to do, and I can never seem to get anything productive done during the holidays, so I put it off until MyFavoriteKid is back in school. * I intend to...

Short one. Very cold. Out in the van with TheMostImportantGuy and RileyTheDog, filching someone's wireless. Christmas was good. Out of town visiting TheMIG's family (MyFavoriteKid is off with TheEX for a couple of days. Gifted a few handknits, plus some items purchased either from etsy or local arti...

It's our last day here. Internet access has been problematic this morning so I am posting now in case I cannot get back online later. I think today we are heading over to the "Bodies" exhibit at the Luxor (it's that flayed open plastination thing). Then maybe a tour of the M&M Factory, and I hav...

Arrived on the strip yesterday, and it was too cloudy to see the mountains...but this morning we pulled the blinds and saw this: It's supposed to snow again tomorrow, too....so we decided to get a couple of outdoor things out of the way. We rode the coaster at New York New York. I loved it. We tripp...
