The photos in this blog entry are from the Omaha World Herald website. When I arrived in Omaha it was mid afternoon. I checked into my hotel, answered email and tidied up, then headed over to String of Purls yarn shop. I was early, which was good. I figured I’d park and get a bite…

Turn Left Right at Des Moines
Getting here was amazingly easy – drive South, turn Left Right at Des Moines – and Iowa was so much more beautiful than I’d expected! I don’t know what my expectations were of Iowa, I don’t know that I spent much time thinking about it (sorry, Iowa…) However, as I drove through Iowa and Nebraska,…
Flying Poodles
The dog-running-along-with-the-bike attachment (thanks blog readers!) should be arriving any day, but I’m impatient so I’ve been taking the slow, back roads with Atticus the running poodle – The S L O W L Y running poodle – puffing along on his leash. I’ve been making Atticus run along with me for short jaunts like…
Shamelessly Supportive

Sunrise at BWI
I took a little ANNIE time last night – I went to bed at 8:00. It felt very good! Arriving at Stitch DC (Capitol Hill location) at 8:30, I parked and watched life go by while waiting for the shop to open. I knitted, I listened to my audiobook and I had some iced coffee….
Psyched for Stitch DC!
My class this morning was pretty darned big. It was bigger than I expected (60 eager women – I thought it would be 20…) but it was fun! All my classes here at Purljam have been so great; excellent students, a warm yarn shop staff and a lovely facility. It’s exactly what I needed to…
Bare Minerals
I like this makeup, I use it and I’m always happy with how clean it feels. My cousin turned me onto it, and I’ve discovered there’s a strong underground of red-haird, red-faced women who love the coverage (when I wear it I look a little less like the town drunk…) So a friend sent me…
Must… breath… to… teach….
One of the reasons I haven’t been posting so much since TNNA is I’ve been just trying to get a BREATH! Columbus was hot, and very humid (just like I remembered! Don’t change a thing, baby, I love you just the way you are!) with a heat index of 108. My breathing was pretty sucky…

Time
The amount of time between blog posts is longer and longer, but not because I don’t think about writing. Rather, I’m just so busy – overwhelmed – with the amount that there is to do. Writing about it seems like a time loss, but I know from past experience that it’s in the writing that…
