It’s been a beautiful few days here in Providence – sunny, low to mid 50s. Any leftover snow is now long-gone, and spring is just starting to creep up through the ground. It’s been nice to leave the hat and scarf at home the last three days. At lunch I don’t even [...]

Where the HECK did February go?!?
(oh yeah… I spent them in front of the TV watching the Olympics and stitching…)
Ready for a long post? I haven’t done one of these in a LONG time. It feels good, actually.
I started this post on March 2nd, by the way, but saved it [...]

The boys are off at BJ’s to do the every-other-month run, and I opted to stay home to get a few things done. The kitchen’s now scrubbed, so I’m taking a few minutes before tackling the bathroom. We have a few people coming over for the Super Bowl tonight. I’m pretty sure [...]

I’m a bit silly-punchy right now due to being on the reception desk all day, so if I really go off on a strange tangent or don’t sound quite sane (for me – be nice), that’s why.
It’s odd to know that there’s a raging snowstorm coming up the East Coast that’s going to absolutely bury [...]

Haven’t posted in a couple weeks even though I’ve been meaning to. Nothing’s wrong – I’m just busy with a bunch of little things now that the new year has started.
Another birthday has come and gone – I’m 35. Oddly, this one does feel different, although I’m not quite sure how to describe [...]

So far, I’m doing very well on my stitching since I picked it back up in early October. I’ve made great progress on a few projects, I’ve finished a couple little projects, learned how to bead and how to do several specialty stitches… so yeah, I’m very pleased.
Of course, the big looming issue is that [...]

I have a lot to get done this weekend. Some of it’s holiday related (getting a tree, putting lights up outside, cards), some of it’s belated autumn stuff (cleaning up the yard before they stop picking up yard waste for the year), and some of it’s stuff I’d planned to do over Thanksgiving weekend [...]

There’s a whole lot of Time-related stuff on my mind these days, and I’m not just referring to the new Doctor Who special on the 15th…
My brain still isn’t quite believing it’s November, even if we’re already nearly a quarter-way through the month already.  Where the heck has this year gone?  I’m getting the completely [...]

One year ago today at about this time (factoring in time differences), I was in England and just arriving into Stratford-upon-Avon.  A few hours from now (then) I’d be curled up in awesome front-center balcony seats to watch David Tennant and Patrick Stewart in Hamlet.
Man, how time flies.  I still remember most of our vacation [...]

I spent yesterday morning organizing all of my stitching projects and making a list of all of my charts, kits, etc. I’m fairly sure I’m still missing a stack somewhere, but all but one of the “works in progress” have been found and documented. It’s not like I don’t have enough to work on without [...]
