In which my mom is better than your mom, because your mom didn’t send me TWO BOXES OF BOOKS. When I got home from work tonight, I was greeted by the glorious sight of two boxes of books on the porch. My mom sent me TWO BOXES OF BOOKS. Hell to the yeah, bitches! There’s […]
In which I go on a wild little trip! On St. Pat’s we got all riled up and decided for no good reason whatsoever to go to the casino. It’s less than an hour away, and we had sober drivers, so off we went — at one-thirty in the morning! It was a strange idea […]
In which today is a silly holiday. Silly. So silly. So, I’m Irish. I have some Irish blood, at any rate, but my family never observed any notable Irish behaviors. Anyway, St. Patrick’s Day is just a weird holiday, the way it’s celebrated here. Green beer, and adults punching one another if they don’t spot […]
In which I make the best of it. I stopped for gas on the way out of town, and in spite of my nice interview clothes I took a look underneath the jeep. The exhaust has rusted out. Parts of it are hanging down all over the place, and so I called and canceled my […]
In which there’s food and drink. My girl Raybo texted me last night and asked me what I was doing. I texted back that I was doing nothing. (Which wasn’t exactly true. I was sitting on my bedroom floor in my pajamas, winding a ball of sock yarn.) She replied that she’d like to take […]
In which I bore my non-knitting readers half to death. I’ve been knitting myself a hat. This is the third hat that I’ve started for myself; the other two I gave away because when they were finished they weren’t my hat. This hat is brown and pink, which are totally my colors. It’s not fuzzy, […]
In which there’s a parcel! Yay! The mailman came back this afternoon and left a box on the porch. This box contains the items I got with the Patternworks gift certificate my mom sent me for Christmas: I’ve been waiting for this box for over a week! I got a felted clog pattern, 2 skeins […]
In which it turns out that complaining does do you some good. Yesterday I felt all shitty and marginal and rejected and sorry for myself, so I wrote a big old whiny post about it. Within an hour of posting I’d had two heartfelt private emails and a long IM conversation aimed at helping me […]
In which NLW cracks me all the fuck the way up. The Ever-Handsome Mr J was out of town last night, so NLW called me and took me out to dinner at Pizza Hut. I love that about her. We talked about me, then we talked about her. Then we bought cranberry juice and chocolate […]
In which I accentuate the positive! (Yes, I’m feeling much better today.) It’s so nice outside today that I can barely stand myself. I’ve been sitting on the porch in the sun, reading. It’s so lovely! I’ve finished the back of my sweater, and I am in the process of finishing the front. I’ve used […]
