We had a late spring storm this weekend that started on Friday and finished on Saturday. They were predicted anywhere from 12 - 18 inches (11 - 12 on Friday and 5-6 on Saturday). It started snowing here around 9:30 or 10:00, and even though it snowed pretty heavy at times, it wasn’t sticking at all. By the time I left the office there was really ( Read more... )

I'll write a longer update when I get home tonight, but yesterday's sewing circle was a success. I got the house clean (Whoot!). We adjusted Alex's five year old pattern from Brittney to give him a wee bit more room in the leg and the chest. Alena actually managed to get some sewing done, around catering to Percy's demands for attention. And ( Read more... )

I woke up before my alarm and took that as a sign that I have been getting enough sleep this week so I went ahead and got out of bed. I got up and did my morning perusal of the Internets, and then I actually got started on the housework ( Read more... )

I got up Sunday morning and baked myself cinnamon rolls for breakfast (cooking again!). Then I watched CBS Sunday Morning and Face the Nation. But after that I had a bit more trouble motivating myself than I did on Saturday ( Read more... )

I had an ambitious To Do list this weekend. I got some of it done, and that’s enough. The big thing is that I’m having the furnace tuned up on Tuesday, and I needed to tidy up the living room so I don’t die of shame when the HVAC technician shows up ( Read more... )

I spent the last four days hiding out in the blanket fort with a stack of historical fiction/murder mysteries.

It was good to be out of this century for a couple of days.

*sighs* Now I have to rejoin the real world. I don't wanna.
