This is a baby blanket I'm making for a woman at work. It's really a bright purple. It's knit corner to corner. I've got two skeins of the yarn, I figure I'll just keep increasing until I need to change skeins, then I'll decrease. Should work well. It's called sherpa. I started knitting this baby sweater for Ian, but I'm afraid he is too big for it now. I need to finish it, and give it to baby Rowyn. He should be able to wear it in a year or so. I bought this yarn at Stitches … [Read more...]

Big Brother 6
June 7, 2005 by
I've been thinking about Big Brother for weeks. Just wondering when it's going to come back. Waiting patiently for it to show up on my TiVO. I keep checking, and nothing. So finally, I went to cbs.com to check things out. They say JULY 7th! July 7th?!? That is forever from now! It's wrong, damn it. Just wrong. … [Read more...]
When in doubt…
June 7, 2005 by
Buy one of these... Seriously. Nothing is better than watching a stupid flower rocking back and forth on your desk. Ok, I lied, but that's not an option for me right now. This is. … [Read more...]
Kick boxing and ice cream, do they mix?
June 6, 2005 by
Tonight I started my kick boxing class. I don't know what possessed me, but I said, hey, I need kick boxing. So, I went, and I did it. And I'm damn tired. But after all that exercise, I couldn't figure out dinner. So, I had a tuna sandwich and Ben & Jerry's Everything but the... ice cream. Yummy. I would imagine that I put all the calories that I worked off right back in. Oh well. I'll ride some more off tomorrow. I'm trying hard to get back on the diet thing. Hmph. With things at … [Read more...]
Sixteen Candles, revisited? What?
June 6, 2005 by
Rumour has it that Molly Ringwald is thinking about doing a sequel to Sixteen Candles. Ok, so that just sounds so weird. I mean really. I remember seeing Sixteen Candles at the movie theatre. (Yeah, I aged myself, who cares.) I just don't think I can picture it. But then, I guess we get to know if she really ended up with Jake. That could be fun. But who ended up with Farmer Ted? And, will he still have head gear? Also, how are they going to get John Cusack to come back and play such a … [Read more...]
Sunday afternoon activities!
June 5, 2005 by
Today, I was uber busy. I finished painting the guest room... it's a calming green. I really like it. I'm very proud of myself. I didn't do a great job painting, but it is such an accomplishment for me. The ceiling and all the walls got two coats of paint. It was hard work, but worth the benefit! So I put the room back together as soon as the paint was dry. That included making the rest of the bookcase that I got at IKEA two weekends ago. I'm happy because now it has enough weight … [Read more...]
Another weekend, another haul!
June 4, 2005 by
This weekend was the deco show. Normally I forget about the deco show, and remember the week after it happens. This year, I didn't forget, and I got Miz K to go with me. Miz K works down the hall from me. I was surprised she wanted to go, but I'm always up for company. I really was on a mission for things for the house. I wanted to find some cool artwork for the living room. I also needed some knick-knacks. I have this built-in book case that needs to be filled. When we finally got up … [Read more...]
I had a date with not one but TWO married men!
June 4, 2005 by
Tonight, I was on a mission. I needed to purchase a gas grill. I put one on hold last night at Target. Who would have known that I couldn't take a gas grill home when I wanted to. I picked a big grill, one that wouldn't fit in the car, and weighed 200 lbs. The guy laughed at me when I told him I had a 4 door sedan with no help at home. He said, get some help, and I'll have it waiting for you up front. Lucky for me, Missey Andrea's husband drives a truck. He lets me borrow it every when I … [Read more...]
