I remember asking Peanut (when she was about 2) if she was busy. She was playing house. She turned and looked at me and said in her most grown up voice “I’m working really hard.” I have heard that play is children’s work. I think I’d like to do that again.
Today is Thursday. It’s cloudy [...]

High Hoe, High Hoe, It’s off to work I goe

Back to it. I’m honestly not sorry. I need the time away and I need the time back. Ya know? And, I have a job. I refuse to grouse. I get paid and I have benefits and everything. Of course, like everyone else my IRA is in the stock market so my retirement has tanked. [...]
Ten on Tuesday……NOT
Posted in knitting, soundtrack on November 11, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I am so not able to do a ten on Tuesday today. Currently, I have the attention span of a gnat. I spent the past Saturday and Monday (Sunday I took off because I was really really tired) moving the living room furniture and sorting and cleaning. Lots of junk and time, but oh my, [...]
a short away time

Nothing is wrong. I’m off work and cleaning and recharging. I’m fine, Mom’s fine, Grover is ok, but I moved the furniture so he’s pissy, and Esau Marie is fine but loud.
I will return tomorrow.
Until then, some more REM? “It’s the end of the world as we know it”
Have a good [...]
It’s Howdy Friday time. It’s Howdy Friday time.

Sing along with me everyone. It’s that day of the week again (friday). Did anyone watch Howdy Doody? It’s my era, but I never could be bothered watching television when there was outside playing to be done. Still, I remember that ugly puppet and Buffalo Bob. St. Louis had several after school shows. We had [...]

I got nothin’ today. I’m fine. Mom’s ok. Grover is well and Esau Marie is in fine voice. I don’t have any pictures or anything cool like that.
I am still knitting away on the warm colored legwarmers. I want to finish one pair right now. I can worry about the other pair later. At least [...]

Oh, yeah. It’s Fall. It’s November. It’s been 75+ for the past week or so and I’ve been a happy girl. But. It is all about to end. Thursday morning the rains and cool move in. Thursday is supposed to be 67. Friday 50. Saturday 44. We are on the move! This is knitting weather. [...]
Ten on Tuesday-Knitting Patterns Edition “A”

First. Go vote. I was out walking the pup this morning at 5:45 a.m and my neighbors walked by heading for the polls. We cheered each other on and I thought how rare this particular election is. It may be inconvenient, but if you don’t vote, don’t bitch. This promises to be a bit [...]
Funeral for a friend
Posted in knitting, soundtrack on November 3, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I’m sorry if I’m a bit of a downer today. A man I have known for over 25 years was murdered Friday. His name was Mike and he was a police officer. We both attended the same church. We were Deacons together and worked on all kinds of projects. He was a great guy. I [...]
