Progress waits for no WOman
Monday, 31 January 2005 8:22 A GMT-06
Before progress, let me just ponder this: Do you think that you can tell a lot about a person by what's in their keyboard? My space bar has been sticking so I popped it off to fix it (after which I unsuccessfully put it back on, until today when I

I've learned my lesson.

When you have chest congestion one day and make a Dr appt., but think that you are fine two days later on the morning of your Dr appt., and you cancel said Dr appt., DON'T. Man, I want this chest crud gone! OK, enough of that.While sitting and knitt
What a difference a Knight makes
Saturday, 29 January 2005 9:43 A GMT-06
Yesterday was a true knitting day, or evening. I did get to knit a bit while getting my hair done, the usual wait for the dye to set time. But most of the knitting came while sitting at home in the late afternoon/early evening. I am progressing throu
Happy Birthday to Me!
Friday, 28 January 2005 4:45 P GMT-06
What? Again? Yeah, sure. Why not celebrate all over again. It's for a good cause. I am now two years old. OK, Chrisknits is two years old. Happy Birthday Miss Blog. What a wonderful journey we have traveled. Many things have come and gone, but this
Blech

That's how I feel. The chest congestion is no fun and I plan to do something about it tomorrow. At least the Dr hopefully will do something about it. I hit the bed last night at 6:30 and just vegged until bed time. It was nice to not be doing anythin
Good for what ails ya

Yes, the Take 5 is that, but this does a much better job. I am in soup mode this week. I have made chili, chicken noodle soup and chicks and dumps so far. Next in the line up will be potato soup. Yummy. Even thought the
My new love
Tuesday, 25 January 2005 2:48 P GMT-06
I want to tell you about the new love in my life. No it isn't anything fibery. It's better than that. I find myself thinking of this new love all day, waiting until the time we can be together again. But our time is short, so I must savor all of it.
Am I a tired pup or what?
Sunday, 23 January 2005 11:59 P GMT-06
I can't wait for Sat, Jan 29th. Nothing special, just the next day I have that doesn't involve working somewhere! I am on day 6 of 10 straight days of working 1-2 jobs and I am so tired I don't know if I can make it. But I will keep chugging, because
Red Scarf Project
Friday, 21 January 2005 11:59 P GMT-06
Now I have a good reason to shop while I cover the yarn shop this weekend. The Red Scarf Project is an example of someone putting their muscle where their mouth is. Please go visit Lisa and Jacob's site (oh and Jake too) to see if you want to help. I
I guess some think we should stop living our lives

I had a very long post written, but I decided it's not in me. No matter what I say, you will believe what you want, just as I (conservative) will not be swayed to your point of view (liberal). Instead I will send you to Jean's post and hope you follo
Hope you didn't come here looking for knitting
Wednesday, 19 January 2005 8:37 A GMT-06
Because I haven't done any since I decreased on the Hubster's hat. Since I had no dpns with me in Indy it got put aside. Once home, I have been too busy to even pick up needles. Actually I did pick up needles last night for my Stitches And Fixes cla
Ahh, to be home again
Monday, 17 January 2005 4:31 P GMT-06
'Tis such a sweet thing. I love my home and all that comes with it (except for the cleaning!). Drove in from Indy today. Tried to go yarn shopping but forgot that River Wools is closed on Monday. I guess most small shops as this like to have 2 day we
Relaxing weekend
Sunday, 16 January 2005 10:07 A GMT-06
I realized as I drove up to Indy that it would be the best chance to just relax for a few days. With all the extra work I was doing this past week, I had not had one day of just doing nothing. That finally happened yesterday. Well, I did run out to
Blank Mind
Friday, 14 January 2005 7:40 A GMT-06
Now what do I do? It was bad enough contending with a blank screen yesterday, now I have a blank mind. That comes from being up and down all night with the sinuses, and then awake since 5:00 am because I had had enough of sleeping in an upright posit
Blank Screen
Thursday, 13 January 2005 8:29 A GMT-06
That's all I see right now. A blank screen. I need something to fill it up. I could show the Hubster's Hat. Nah, it's not much further than the last picture of it. And black is soooo difficult to photograph in Grey Sky Weather. I actually think I saw
Somebody, please stop this train....

...I wanna get off. I have come to realize in my 4? old age, that I prefer to be ensconced in my own home. All snug like a bug in a rug. Give me my old homestead any old day. I do not prefer the frenetic rush like some of my friends and family enjoy,
Did I say I was free last night?
Tuesday, 11 January 2005 1:51 P GMT-06
I must have meant something else, because I totally missed Younger's Brownie meeting. Man, I've got to get a secretary! I put all the appointment info into Microsoft Works with reminders. Did I get a reminder? No. So just how am I supposed to remembe
Prayer and apology
Monday, 10 January 2005 5:17 P GMT-06
This has not been a stellar day, first let me apologize for the ramble and the un-edited state I left the blog in. I am still trying to recover from the Christmas crud and took an anithistamine to clear up my sinuses. It put me to sleep, but before m
Thank you, blog musings, pictures, contest winner
Monday, 10 January 2005 4:50 P GMT-06
For all the birthday wishes and the notes. It was very kind of you to take time to comment. I will be honest and say it made me feel less alone in the blog world.And that statement leads me to my next topic. While hitting my blogline feeds yesterday
It's my birthday and I'll sing if I want to, sing if I want to
Sunday, 9 January 2005 2:23 P GMT-06
You can close your ears if it's annoying to you. Yes, it's my birthday, well, not until about 7:00 pm. But I am celebrating anyway. Went to TGIFriday's for lunch with my parents and Hubster and girls. I had wonderful Key West Grouper. Now I am sittin
Happy almost birthday to me!
Saturday, 8 January 2005 10:29 P GMT-06
In honor of my birthday, and the fact I had no kids at home this morning, I went to knit with my friends and joined them for lunch. OK, so the knit date had nothing to do with my birthday, but at least I felt no guilt in leaving the kids with Dad whi

...from Louisville. Did ya miss me? And boy did I manage to get lost looking for Sophie. Seems I don't read Map Quest too well. I went 8 miles out of the way, turned around and it took about 7 miles to get back to where I wanted to be. It also seems

Thanks for the suggestions for the Lush, I pondered all, and decided to do a Seaman's scarf. Now, do I have enough for a Seaman's scarf, dunno, but has that ever stopped me? I couldn't find it at Four Ladies, didn't have that color of Lush. Still nee
Quick I need a pattern
Thursday, 6 January 2005 8:39 A GMT-06
Anyone have a great pattern that would use Lush yarn, 4 sts = 1" on US8's? I only have one skein, need a super quick, but not boring pattern, so I can have it done by Sat evening. I am sure you have just the thing at your fingertips. So share it

"We find Chris in a flurry of activity. Laundry day is never the best way to spend 6 hours of Freedom. But in the Work Release Program real world, you do what ya gotta do." So how did I spend my freedom? I went shopping. You knew I would.
