Obligatory Xmas Post

Well, another Xmas has come and gone. Much fun was had by all. Bunny got so many presents, she forgot to open two of them. No kidding! Grandma and I found them later on that night and just about peed our pants laughing. No surprise that Bunny was super thrilled the next morning when she [...]
Christmas Redux

This last month has really kicked my ass and now I am very behind on my Xmas knitting. Between everyone here having the plague (in which I lost 2 weeks!), Monkey getting up again at night (in which I lost countless hours of sleep and knitting time), and general work crap which kept me too [...]
Winner, Winner… Chicken Dinner.

The winner of the skein of yarn is Debbie! The correct number was actually 68. Yup, 68 ends to weave in, all at the end! So tedious, but totally worth it when I cover Monkey up at night and know that she will at least be snuggly warm for the next 39 seconds or so… until [...]

Although I am back at work , I have been diligently working away at the Xmas presents. I know that I can safely post this project here because the intended recipient rarely reads the blog (shame, shame) and she is very very sick right now. However, if you are reading, and you are related to me. [...]
This Morning…

I woke up ready to try it again. Like anything was possible again. Last week was super rough. Seems like there is enough of this feeling going around right now. People seem kind of broken. Maybe it’s the holidays. Doesn’t it seem like, as an adult, it’s Xmas all the time? Really. In knitting news, [...]
Whew… We Made It

On the other side of the pestilence that rocked this house, I find myself doing odd things. For example, I constantly think that I hear a baby crying. In the shower, while I am doing laundry, sleeping… and I find myself straining to hear if it is the baby that has been crying for the [...]

Fact is, we have the plague. Wednesday, Bunny woke at 4AM crying and writhing in pain. Then came the vomiting. All over the dang place. She stayed home Thursday too. Friday, Monkey came down with it and has been throwing up randomly since then. On Monday, TG was struck and taken down by the pestilence. [...]
