Are you Happy?

Wednesday, 30 September 2009 7:54 A GMT-06
Came across this interesting article today. It got me to thinking. Not about whether or not I am happy, I am. It made me wonder why we have to judge ourselves against others. When I find myself falling into that trap, I slap myself. I quickly remind

What a hoot!

Sing it boys. Spread the word, give them more hits!  I had all kinds of time to knit last night. Even had plans to knit last night. Did I knit last night? Not a stitch. I was a slug. Oh well. There is always tomorrow, or the next day, or the nex

But who can pass up a chance to get yarn for $3.00 or $5.00 a skein. So I dropped by the shop and shopped. One of our stores closed and she had a sale today to try and get rid of some stuff. She had Cascade 220 for $5.00 a skein. And I got these to m

Well, almost finished. And no Barbara, it isn't LAdy Eleanor, or Urban Aran, or Celtic Dreams, or anything else I was working on before you moved. Or wait, I think I was working on this before you moved. Lace Fichu the First is done. Well, with t

What a glorious day!!!

Not just because of the beautiful weather, but because Hubster is coming home!!! Where has he been? He has been having a good time in Germany and France. OK, so maybe it hasn't all been fun and games, he was working. But it was better than being

Knitting is happening

Thursday, 17 September 2009 12:00 A GMT-06
I have done quite a bit of it this week. Worked on the Lace Fichu while at our lunch knitting yesterday. I am so close to getting this one done. I drug it out again last night. If you look at the photo it seems I have so little left on the needles. W

Hilarious!

I love "Caught Him With A Corndog". Still want to find out just what that blog title means, but haven't seen her post about it.

Has this happened to you?

He's just waiting for Nancy Pelosi to tell him how he gets to vote. Fence sitting much? We weren't given an opportunity to have a town hall style meeting with our congressman. He wimped out with phone conferences and small group meetings. I w

Month of injuries

Thursday, 10 September 2009 10:58 A GMT-06
Between accidents and dental surgeries, September is turning out to be a costly and painful month! The recent injury was Younger's take down in her soccer game last night. It was toward the end of a hard fought match, with our team just at 10 pla

then I am sorry, I must call you an idiot. How Obama's administration plans to bring about change. "The goal from this White House is to have as much nonspecific language passed by Congress in policy areas like health care and the env

What would it cost

Sunday, 6 September 2009 12:00 A GMT-06
Commenter KM brought up a very good question. Because of her many root canals she was out of pocket $25,000. Yikes! She wonders what would have happened if it was under, I assume, the proposed health care now in the news. I don't know the answer

And it gives me Hope that we can bring about Change if only the politicians and lobbyists, of all persuasion, in Washington would just shut up, listen, and learn. But I fear they are all too caught up in their own power struggles to effect positive C

What I learned on Day 2 of Gum Surgery

The swelling can make your face feel funny. Does it look funny? Don't answer that. Yes, you really can survive on nothing buy soup for 36 hours. While you may not be a McD's fan, the billboard showing their new 1/3 lb burgers is enough t

What I learned on Day 1 of Gum Surgery

First hand knowledge: I don't want to go back for rounds 2 and 3. While it may not have been imperative that Hubster be in town on this day, it sure would have been appreciated. He was in VA. At a meeting HE scheduled. It really was not as e
