Okay so the baby doesn’t knit, but I am knitting for the baby. And have just a few frustrations. I got one of those worked out last night (not being able to find the right yarn), and finished this: It’s a little papoose. That is 48 inches of stockinette people – mo-not-on-ous! But easy, and …

The nicer grandparent
On Wednesday my mom and I spent a lovely day together heading up to Portland and visiting with my grandma. She never called me fat, and she made me lunch, what more can you want? I keep meaning to bring my camera up there to take pictures of her cute little place, but I always …
TypePad on my iPhone
I love my iPhone! This is BJ and I have the day off. 😉
Grumpy Old Man, Grumpier than ever!
You know what, I’m going to say it, not all old people are nice and sweet. In fact some are the opposite, like this guy: Ya, ya, he looks all cute and harmless, and like he’s taken a few falls this week (he has, two in fact). But man can this guy get on my …
Old School
Am I the only one who still uses this stuff instead of deodorant? I can’t find it anywhere and this little travel size that I thought was going to last forever is getting suspiciously light. I did find it online, but it’s so cheap I thought I’d ask if anyone has noticed it in any …
Weekend/First Trimester Update
Oh my goodness you guys, thanks for all the baby love! I’m glad you think my bump is cute. I ask Bj pretty much every day, "do I look fat or do I look pregnant?" It’s one of those stupid girly questions that really only has one answer. But I do really feel that it …
You had to see this coming
Little baby is my best excuse ever for going off a diet. We are so over the moon happy to be welcoming our first little darling right around the new year. 2008, 2009?!?! Wait and see!
Party like it’s 1958!
Saturday was my mom’s big 50th bash. My step-dad Bill and I spent the whole day working on it. Earlier this month when we got together to plan everything and I rattled off lists of things we were going to get, make, do, etc. he asked if he needed to do anything. I get a …
Plants and Berries
Yesterday I finally made it to Portland again, it had been months I think since I’d driven up. Trying to save gas and all (though Bj doesn’t believe me). I met Tex at the cool nursery she works at. I realized I didn’t get very good overview shots of the nursery, I was too focused …
Playing with the camera
Just a little bit. At dinner on Monday Bj contemplates what to eat: and pretending he’s on wine library TV: Hehehe. I love that guy. I figured out that my main problem with the camera (or me using it), is that I have a trouble with light metering. I’m thinking about renting a separate one …
