I have to try and keep this up for 56 days. I’m strong, I can do this. I mean, really. It’s just a single type of food, right? Of course, it’s in darn near everything, so avoiding it will be fun. Yeah, fun. A game. A complex game of hide and seek, I’m “it” vs [...]

I have a horrid headache. I have nothing to do at work. I want to go home. *Sigh* I hate being bored. I really do. My super knows I don’t have anything to work on, but he’s been to busy to do more than give me a real quick little project. I’ve done maybe 15m [...]

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 [...]

My shoulder is still really cranky The good news is, S. is going to work on it tomorrow, and I’m finally going back to a doc next Tuesday to get it looked at. J’s first baby shower was today – yeah, one at work, one for the fam. I get to go to both I [...]

So, a few years ago I wrenched my shoulder. Went to the doc, got misdiagnosed, ended up waiting almost 6 months for my dislocated shoulder to get properly diagnosed, and by then it was too late to treat it properly *rolls eyes*. It’s mostly ok, but some days it twinges really bad. Like today. Hurts [...]

OK, there is no question in my mind that Intellectual Property must be protected. Copyright infringment is a serious thing. That being said, there are times when people take a good idea too far. Check out this article in the Telegraph. More later, probably… Yup, see? This is even Semi Serious. Well, it’s a rant. [...]

I have an FO! Mom’s stole/shawl/scarf/thingie is DONE! No pics because, well, I was in the car with her when I finished it, I dropped it in her lap, and I asked her to take the pix Not sure that was fair, but otherwise I’d sit with it at home for ages… Of course, since [...]

OMG. There is a reason why I pay my rent with money orders and not checks. My landlord takes forever to cash the check. It makes me crazy to look at the bank site and see that I still have way more money in my account than I can spend (doesn’t help that I am [...]

So, I knew that with the gas chaos from Iraq, Hurricanes Katrina & Rita, and general inflation heating my house (with a fuel oil heater) would not be cheap. $3.04 a gallon in Nevada. That’s… $304 minimum fill (100 gal minimums). I’m knitting gloves for everyone. And making sure we all have cushy warm slippers [...]

So, work lately has been REALLY stressful. So bad that I’m coming home and being cranky and short with my darling kids and wonderful sweetie. They have been incredible about it, being aware that it’s work and not them and generally leaving me alone, but yanno, I really DON’T LIKE my family leaving me alone. [...]
