Today, instead of doing my homework, I went to the huge Alamedia Art's and Antique show. Yes, it was HUGE. We walked for just over 3 hours. It was a beautiful day to be out. I am pretty sure that it was 65 degrees when we got there, 77 by the time we left. Bright blue skies, just what you would expect from a Northern California day. We got there about 10. There were tons of people there. Lots of rock-a-billy folks, all dressed in their vintage. I just love the look, I really do. As … [Read more...]

Family night
March 5, 2005 by
Daisy and I headed up to Mountain View last night for family night. It's the first time I've really been up there since I moved. I can't tell you how much I missed family night. We ordered pizza, ate moose tracks ice cream and watched Without A Paddle. It was so much fun. Daisy was so snuggly, she even sat on Tess' lap for a while. Tess is convinced that she can turn Daisy into a lap dog. HAH! I doubt that will ever happen. Brendan runs the Santa Clara County Cookie Cabinet for the Girl … [Read more...]
A LYS right around the corner!
March 4, 2005 by
I'm trying to start a stitch and bitch on campus. Today was our first meeting. Ok, well, there was just me and another woman, but that's fine. It's a start. We talked about all sorts of things, including where we buy our "supplies." She buys most of her fibers on eBay. I've bought somethings on eBay, but I really like to touch things before I make a purchase. I told her that I shop at Knitting Arts over in Saratoga. She was shocked! She said, why do you go that far? I told her the … [Read more...]

Depressing reading
March 3, 2005 by
So, I've been doing a bit of reading outside my normal reads today. I went over and read I'm Dr. Laura's Worst Nightmare. I found it in Snidget's comments. Her particular entry today was about a teenage girl who committed suicide over the weekend. I can not tell you how much this sadens me. Really, it does. This girl is local to me. The funeral was held in my new neighbourhood. I've seen the girls/parents that were the topic of conversation. I know what it is like to be better than … [Read more...]

Did you hear about the free birthday ice cream? Did you? I didn't think so. So, sign into Yahoo! and get some ice cream. I'll be partaking tonight after GNO. … [Read more...]
Oh yeah?

I never talk about what people are searching for in regards to my site. But for the past two days someone is looking for gwen michael daisydo Yes, he has been mentioned a few times over the past two years. I did find 3 bicentennial quarters once (in one day), but I didn't mention his name. I did mention that I found a naked picture of him while packing, and purged it (along with all the bank records from that time in my life). i talked about a bad experience with frogs, who got me into web … [Read more...]
Oh how I love class!
February 28, 2005 by
Monday is school night. I think you might have guessed that from the last post. Tonight I actually had both my classes. Fun stuff. Actually, I don't really mind the class I go to. I was in rare Gwen form tonight. I had verbal diarrhea all night. I couldn't stop! I complained at one professor that the slides she used last week were not the same ones that she had posted on the website. I told her that was confusing to those of us in the audience who were prepared. Then I went off on my … [Read more...]
Reading, reading and more reading
February 28, 2005 by
As of right now, I have an hour and a half to read three chapters for class tonight. I doubt I'm going to make it. Seriously. I don't even want to read. Now, lucky for me I'm allowed to do a bit of homework at work. It's part of my contract. I get 3 hours a week. I am just not motivated to do it. This text has got to be the most dry text I've ever read. Wish me luck. … [Read more...]
Current Projects
February 27, 2005 by
I've been busy knitting (instead of doing homework), and I wanted to share... This is the olive green purse that I'm going to felt using the Tiur Dalegarn I got at Stiches. I'm really enjoying the pattern. I love that it's so huge right now. That means that it's going to felt up to the point that you can't see the stiches. That's the way I like it. I think the color is fun, and in the end, the bag is going to have a 40's feel. At stiches I bought 2 skeins of Cascade 220 in this beautiful … [Read more...]
