My Random Life

First, my apologies to everyone I had dinner with last night, I woke up with a terrible sore throat this morning, and a head full of congestion. I’m hoping it’s just either the change in pressure or sleeping with the AC on last night – I don’t have time for a head cold right now [...]

Yesterday was one of those days where I woke up with a plan, and then wound up putting out fires until almost noon, so that I couldn’t get started on my list of things to do until much later than I intended. Plus I had a headache. It made me cranky. Lunch cheered me up [...]

I thought a few times about taking my photo of the day yesterday, but who wants a photo of me cleaning out and organizing my packing supply closet?! So here’s a picture of a frog I took …. er… about six years ago. From the archives! Blast from the past! Deja vu! Yesterday was quiet. [...]

Insert joke HERE about how Boba Fett is looming. Hahahah! Get it? Bounty Hunter yarn? And it’s on the loom? Looming? Get it?!?! :: shifty eyes :: This weekend I plan to play “catching up” with my life. It’s been so long since I swept my office floor that some of the dirt in the [...]

Last night was the first night in over two months I have gotten ready for bed without double-checking that I’ve put the next day’s yarn in water to soak overnight so that I can start dyeing yarn the minute I wake up in the morning. I kept saying to Tim, “I feel like I’ve forgotten [...]

This is the view from my regular chair in the dentist’s office. It’s a pretty view, but I think they only put people who are afraid of going there in this room. It’s been “my” room since I started going to this dentist in… er… 1993? About a year before I got married the first [...]

Two scoops; one of Toasted Coconut, and one of Slow Poke (vanilla with Rolos mixed in). Mmmmmmm….. Rolos…….

Man, I had a whole paragraph written but there was a junky snippet of unfinished code when I aligned the photograph, and WordPress ate my paragraph. Pff. It was insightful and witty, too, but I’m too lazy to rewrite it. Sigh. Here’s a photo of Tiny Kitten! Helping! Or rather, wondering if I’m going to [...]

So, I’m making some lip balm, and for part of that I use the microwave rather than a double-boiler (mostly because I’m also using the surface of the stove to stage things, and didn’t want to accidentally melt 50 plastic tubes by putting them near a hot burner). None of this has anything to do [...]

Ta-da! In spite of Tim’s Cat being rather unimpressed, these are the most awesome pajama bottoms ever and I am sad to take them off and put on pants as I start my day. I love the cloth – for some reason it makes me think about living in the school bus, even though they’re [...]
