Blog Intrepid

I am a bad BlogStalker Mommy In my defense, there has been Stress, and… well. Stress. The topic this time around is a virtual potluck and favorite holiday tradition. To the Virtual Potluck, I bring you Soft Ginger Cookies. I actually made these for the company pot luck yesterday and I’ll probably make it for [...]

July was a month of chaos. Largely because I was working towards (and achieved) my Project Management Professional certification. The “disturbing” side effect is watching how the project management training is affecting other elements of my life. I’m fighting the urge to create a WBS for my home remodel and project plans for the garb [...]

…20 minutes until I go home. To early to leave, too late to start any new projects, and I’ve read all my blogs & message boards for the day. Ugh. Spoke with Miss Thing about the Fug last night. She wants it felted and bag-ized, so it will be. Felting begins tomorrow at some point… [...]

Yay, Faire season is starting again! Our first Faire of the season helped us hook up with a couple of interested parties (new members? One can hope!) and led to spending a lot of money at http://www.ravenswoodleather.com/ – well, their booth, not the website. Good people, you should spend money there too (not affiliated, etc. [...]

So. Miss C. has been asking me for ages to let her dye her hair. First, she wanted to go ultra blonde (her hair is honey-brown/blonde). Now, she’s decided she wants to be a Goth (and listen to hip-hop. We’ve explained that the two are mutually exclusive). So of course, the hair must be black. [...]

Again, I drop out of sight for no apparent reason. Well, February was a rough month. Two weeks conducting training, then a week miserably ill. The regular docs have no idea what’s wrong (my favorite was the guy who looked at me, while I was covered with a rash & so swollen that I couldn’t [...]

So, the book link that I was so excited about? Yeah. Well. I fell for the ol’ spoofed web page joke. Almost as funny as the wallet on a string, but not quite… So, the baby knitting. Over the weekend, I decided to do Baby’s First Tattoo, from SnB Nation. In purple. White skull-and-bones motif [...]

Wow was this fun! We ended up hosting on BLM land near Carson City, very primitive site and warranted more trips to fetch water than I expected. Everyone there worked their tails off, fought well, and generally enjoyed each other’s company. This is the way events are supposed to go! Well, mostly. Friday we were [...]

Free yarn is never bad, right? Free soy silk is even better, right? Yeah, whatever. C.’s favorite color is purple. She asked me to knit her Knitty’s Skating Queen in purple wool. It’s done, it’s beautiful, she loves it, yadda yadda. Yeah, pix coming soon. Ish. Mom calls me one day, she’s en route to [...]

Just for a week or so? I’ve had Enough Of Work and Stress. I keep thinking things will calm down, but then, probably the only way that will happen is if I MAKE them calm down. Logic is a wonderful thing… Planning phase for the Authi/Noxy war is drawing to a close. Next Friday is [...]
