Burn, baby, burn!

Because of a contagious condition that’s going around my daughter’s school, we changed our plans and had a evening movie-watching party instead of the previously planned sleepover. I need to send a BIG thank you bouquet to the school nurse! Everyone had a terrific time, and I think it was a little bit of a…

Yesterday I sat on my rear for an extended period of time – not knitting – but clearing up tax stuff, pattern stuff, charting stuff and all kinds of email stuff that HAD TO BE DONE! As a Virgo I usually relish the chance to crack open a spreadsheet and write up some functions (scripts,…

My little girl is 10 years old today – what a milestone! I can hardly believe it, it just seems like such a short period of time since I brought her home and we were terrified that every bump and cough spelled some unfathomable illness. How poignant and jarring that there are so many parents…

It was absolutely lovely up in Johnsonburg at the Presbyterian Retreat Center – what a great weekend and a terrific bunch of women! The North Country Spinners invited me almost 2 years ago, and I’d been looking forward to this for quite a while! Except for the sheet mishap – not such a big deal…

We worked long and hard yesterday, then got up today and worked longer and harder (and I have the blisters all over my hands and fingers to prove it!) While working I had Season 2 of Project Runway playing on the DVD, and that gave me a terrific sense of urgency. We had folks coming…

Refrigerate them. Just a thought. Thank Goodness for St. JosephI’ve heard – as has just about anyone who has sold a house – that if you plant a statue of St. Joseph upside down in your lawn you’ll sell your house incredibly quickly. Now, we’re not in a big rush – as a matter of…

Last night was “Back to School” night, we met our kid’s teachers and the new principal of Seth Boyden. It didn’t go stellar for me (I visited Hannah’s teachers, Gerry visited Max’s teacher) and I think we may have some decisions to make. Apparently Hannah’s been having a hard time with her homework. They really…
