For my birthday Bj got me a flickr pro account. I’ve had a regular account for a while, but had not gone beyond adding a few images to my favorites. Today I decided to take the plunge and put in the little code and sign up. I did it because while visiting Shell’s photo stream …

The Library Rocks!
Today was kind of a slow day for me, as in I moved so slow. I went to visit with grandpa and picked us up the usual, a frozen coke for me and chocolate shake for him, so that caffeine helped a little. Grandpa was in a kind of mood today that drives me crazy. …
Spinning for actual knitting
Last night I was rocking the baby surprise sweater… So I started doing a ply of this awesome Maisy Day Merino. When you first start to spin your yarn is really slubby, full of thick and thin places, but at no real set intervals, couple that with insane twist problems and it can make for …
Siblings
If you would have told me ten years ago that I would love my step siblings so much I would have said, "You’re crazy!" But they really grew on me. I have three step brothers, one my age, one older, and just turned 17 year old Taylor. Taylor works at the local grocery. He recently …
Random Monday
Let’s start with some grandpa randomness. This evening when Bj and I went over to visit (had to bring him a chocolate milkshake, we’re trying to bulk him up), we got on the subject of email. He wanted to know how it worked and what it was. We were talking about it and I told …
Cut and Cover
I got a couple of things done this weekend that I have been meaning to do. Including cutting my love’s hair. He wanted me to start with a 1 and when I did a little patch I knew it would be too short. Brent came over half way through the haircut/giggle feast (I can’t help …
Dymo Love
I spent all day working on this: It has lower case, upper case, numbers, vertical, horizontal, every sign (#$%&*&(, etc.) even some Greek letters, and fractions. I’ve only got blue, black and a little woodgrain tape right now, but as I stock every dymo auction that should grow. The booklet that came with my machine …
Portland Quest
On her never ending quest to get me to move to Portland Michele showed me a fabulous day yesterday in that city. Of course it helps that I get to hang out with a couple of my favorite people:Violet is a bit confused by my flash, but she better get used to it, as a …
Doctor, doctor.
I go to the doctor’s clinic about every other week, but just as a chauffeur to grandpa. I bring my knitting, wear a skirt (the last time I didn’t grandpa said I, "looked like a hobo."), and hang out. I did that today, and got to enjoy grandpa completely mixing and matching two separate outfits …
I just want to bang on my drum all day
Bj and I have been humming that song lately, "I don’t want to work, I just want to bang on my drum all day." Only instead of "bang on my drum" I want to knit, scrapbook, and spin yarn. Shocking I know. 🙂 I love Ribbon Jar, but lately I have been wanted to craft, …
