Yes, we have hot showers here at our home – FINALLY!!!! Going six months without any sort of shower was tough. NOT! But accepting the graces of family & friends, renting a local hotel room _for a few hours_, and mom even discovered truck stop showers – well that was getting all good and OLD.…

Two days in a row
Yes, this is me here, two days in a row…. amazing, I know…. Today was not the greatest of days – but it’s almost over. Tomorrow just has to be better. I’ve been partaking in allergy shots, since last June, every week (well, almost). I have 3 shots, I have so many allergies, but it…
Guess who’s here!
Here is his sweetness and glory, and he just happens to be wearing the “Bananahead Hat”:http://www.ravelry.com/projects/starzabove/bananaheads-baby-beanie that *_I_* made for him!

Snow Storming Decisions
It’s snowing here – still – has been pretty much all day. Everything is bright and quiet out there, even in the middle of the night. I’m about done with winter and it’s ice storms and tornadoes and what not. I’m ready for spring. Even though I know that heightens the actual normal threat of…
Leapin’ in here
I know, _groan_ , pun intended. Happy Leap Year Day! I didn’t know it was a holiday, but oh well, we can use all of the holidays we can get, right? We’ve had lots of excitement going on around here. We’ve had ice storms, freezing temps, sickness, and almost had a baby yesterday! One of…
No time to blog, really
I won’t even begin to list the things I need to do, because if I have to one more time to one more person I may just seriously lose something! p{float:right;padding:10px}. !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2230648218_ff4c9c25cd_m.jpg!:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/2230648218/ I finished Angel’s pink sweater and she’s been wearing it since!

I just moved down the cyber street
Whew! That was a lesson or twelve. I’ve moved servers, (if anyone even noticed and I finally got it all fixed up tonight. I feel like I’ve come back home after being lost for awhile out in the middle of the unknown. Technology – it’s a blessing and a curse on me, to be sure.…

Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts is in full swing. I’m the official assistant leader of the little girls’ Brownie troop. We’ve had 3 meetings so far, and I already led a _”try-it”_ (People Are Talking) at the second meeting. It went okay. This last meeting (yesterday) we did a hike through a local pumpkin patch (pumpkins, squash, gourds,…
My Baby Girl Turns 6
My baby girl turned 6 years old this week. We had her party last Saturday. The weekend before, she had asked me to teach her to knit with 2 needles, not with the Knifty Knitters anymore. So, her big 8 year old sister, BooHopper, helped me teach her (We also put on the Knitty Gritty…
