My Elder is taking German in school. It's taxing my brain to recall my German years. She's also in Pre-Algebra{{shudder}}. She doesn't come asking for help for that anymore. I do not fear math, it uses NUMBERS! When they start using lette

I have been hanging around Kohl's, looking for capris that actually fit my body. Why do pants manufacturers think we want pants to hit below our navels? I am talking misses sizes here! The choices are 3/4 of the store has Misses sizes for those,

It's official. I have 21 UFOs in my stash. Yikes! And those are only the ones I am claiming. I know of 2 more in the mix that I am not really putting out there. Shop samples gone bad! Eek, 21!!! There was a time when attaining 21 was a goal. I do

But then again, I am not done loading the info yet. I have been busy putting in those skeins of yarn in my stash. Putting them where? In my Ravelry account of course. And I found out I only have 27.5 miles of yarn in my Dining Room. That doesn't

Girls with paternal Grandma We survived the big Birthday Weekend! Friday night was pizza with Hubster and girls. They played Arcade games and won over 1000 tickets. So we came home with a Dr Suess Cat In The Hat styled hat, a back scratcher!!!,
So, you think you can knit from start to finish with no trouble?

Then please!!!, Teach me! I have gone and started something else. Is there closure on something in the UFO pile? Nope! But I needed to start an easy knit for the 2 one hour trips in the car today. Although I will probably be too tired to knit on the

If you told me 13 years ago I would have a 13 year old, I guess I would have believed you. Yes, it's official. I am now mother to a teenager. Oh, the horror!!! Do mom's ever get a deferment? You know, "I can't pay that student loan r

You always see familiar faces when you are at Stitches. The same people have been coming and hanging out all these years, it's hard not to. I usually see a very lovely lady named Cynthia when I hit Chicago. She attended the same sock fest a few o
I'm Back!

And I would say fully recovered, but today was the first day of school. 6:30 am came too early. At least in Chicago I only had to get up at 7:00 am. I was tempted to hit the snooze, but I didn't. I had to help out in a Kindergarten room today. On

This is Chrisknits, live in Chicago, and bringing you the news from Stitches Midwest. We are having fun, getting here was a scream. Or very boring, until we hit Chicago and had to use an I-pass for the tolls. We were not sure where the I-pass took ef

Just why am I up at 5:30 AM today? Woke up and realized Hubster didn't even wake me to say goodbye! He won't be home before I leave. The jerk! Doesn't he understand the need to be able to say goodbye in person? Men. Last night was so much

Just when I have been dreaming of a shrug/bolero/whatever, here it appears! Nice design!I would show you photos of our wonderful evening, but the camera is at my Mom's. Oops! Usually I forget to take photos, but I did take a few this time. We onl

Monday, 6 August 2007 3:22 P GMT-06
........why we won't know anything for another month. Hubster spoke with the guy in charge and there are a few things that are pushing the decision out to mid/late September. Not thrilling news, but at least we know it's not a definite no. I

This is becoming a trend! I better wake up or I will miss Stitches! 3 days to go!!! It's not like I have a reason to be sleepy. We went out last night, but we weren't late owls. In bed by 11:00 pm. Slept until 8:00 am. But I could happily tak

Does anyone really buy any of the products that come across your inbox? I have a work account that has been inundated with spam. I hate to have to change the email, but what else can be done. All the "security" devices in the world don'

I could say this is killing me. But I havebeen able to forget about it for the most part. Until someone asks or I talk to Hubster. Yesterday I was too busy trying to stay cool and wet. It wasn't terribly bad, especially compared to other summer d
Last days of Summer
Wednesday, 1 August 2007 6:46 A GMT-06
Once it hits August 1st, we know it's the last days of summer for us. The kids go back to school August 13th! So unfair. We never went back to school before Sept 7th-8th. But they just HAVE to finish the semester before Christmas Break. You know
