In anticipation of the “Blogathon”:http://www.blogathon.org/blogathon.php?campaign&id=168 tomorrow I _should_ be sleeping, but alas, not me. Not the night owl. The insomniac. My sleeping patterns are so horrible and unpredictable and affected by so many things. Well, anyhoo, just in case you didn’t know, you can go “HERE”:http://www.blogathon.org/blogathon.php?campaign&id=168 and click on REGISTER and sign-in to make a…

Blogathon ‘2005
_Stay Up Late_ p>. _Make a Difference_ I’ve been yearning to do something, to take the focus from my own self-pity, count my blessings, give back, _SOMETHING._ So I’ve decided, albeit last minute, to take the plunge, and in honor of my “Grammie”:http://starzabove.com/2003/01/24/she-has-her-wings I’m participating in “Blogathon ’2005″:http://www.blogathon.org/blogathon.php?campaign&id=168 and all funds I raise will go…
Return To Flight
Two places I’m watching this morning are “NASA live TV”:http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html which offers Windows Media Player and Real Player, thanks to Yahoo and Akamai, and “Live Launch Countdown Coverage”:http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/launch/launch-vlcc.html This page is updated every few minutes so periodic refreshes are neccessary. This is exciting stuff!
Secret Pal 5 Package 2
Coolness! I can not for the life of me find where I mentioned it on my blog, or figure out how she knew that I wanted to badly to make a booga bag, out of Noro Kureyon, in these type of colors, with this pattern! But she did and I am sooooooooooo appreciative! What a…
What am I doing?
Well this is what we did the other day: “The Animal Planet Expo”:http://animal.discovery.com/features/expo/what.html Some cool stuff, but a lot of advertising for the Animal Planet television network, which was wasted on us, since the kids already watch it.
Knot Without My Knitting
I won! A week or so ago, late at night, I was perusing the ‘net, looking for some inspiration for a new design that I am working on when I cam across the fact that “Caitlyn Knits”:http://caitlynknits.blogspot.com/ was having a little contest to help rename her blog. So, I threw out a few (looking back,…
Busy, Bissee, Busy
Work projects all over the place – what a mess! Visit from wonderful family of friends that we haven’t seen in 5 years, from California! House cleaning, rearranging, but at least it’s somewhat clean. HOT HOT HOT! Heat indexes in the 100 degree range, ugh! All this equals very little knitting – and again, all…
Trellis, stop calling out to me!
I reached a progress point in the Aran Square Afghan we are making for _the Daddy_ around here: !http://photos15.flickr.com/20745998_29a25e657d_m.jpg(aran rope cable square)!:http://photos15.flickr.com/20745998_29a25e657d_m.jpg This is the rope cable sqare, my first real cabling experience besides swatching. I’m happy with it. It measures out at about 14 inches square. So, my reward was to work with this…
Happy Father’s Day ‘2005
A nice day consisting of yummy “Chimichangas”:http://chicken.allrecipes.com/az/ChicknChimichngs.asp and yummy “Lemonade Party Cake”:http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/Recipe.aspx?recipeId=36276 and a nice day of relaxation (between allergy meds wearing off), knitting on the Father’s Day surprise, that me and the 2 older girls have been working on (since we can now work on it in front of him: !http://photos16.flickr.com/20358947_13848e65e9_m.jpg(aran afghan)!:http://flickr.com/photos/starzabove/20358947/ They are…
I’ve been Spoiled!
Thank you, Secret Pal! You made my day! What a haul! And a clue about my Secret Pal. Yum! Goodies for me – Chocolate, Osaka Mix, and Cookies (one package is missing, Pumpkin-Ginger cookies, I was able to taste one before DS snagged them after picking up my package for me at the P.O. and…
