It's Worldwide Knit in Public Day! So I'll be worldwide knitting in public in about 45 minutes, sans children and husband. Ahh ... frantime ... how I missed thee. Which also means that Pete's Dr. Who scarf will be getting a few more inches longer. Hopefully you'll be wearing it this winter my friend ( Read more... )

And yes it IS safe for work.

Hehe!!!

Well the kids have been on summer vacation all week, as a result they've been going to bed at about 10pm every night. But sleeping until 8am is actually sleeping in, so it's been good. Too bad Chris isn't on vacation too. But last night it was about 10:30 when they went to bed and 6something when they woke up. WTF! So we got up, made breakfast, and ( Read more... )

For my grandfathers, my uncles, Uncle Sam who died in the war and who my brother is a dead ringer for, my husband, and all my friends I was in the army with who are now fighting and dying in Iraq ( Read more... )

So our time in KY was glorious, albiet much too short. Much love to Billy and Vino for letting us crash with them, feeding us, and using all their hot water. There's a standing invitation for you two - anytime, anywhere - our door is always open for you. Seeing all my friends, especially in NKY was awesome!!!! As was hanging with my brother and ( Read more... )

So David Blaine failed to make the world record for holding one's breath underwater the longest. And frankly it's a shame. Not in a "you pussy, you couldn't do it!" way, but in the way that he spent months preparing for the event (he even shed 50 lbs to optimize the oxygen intake) and I'm sure he feels great disappointment. The fact that he was ( Read more... )

So I have a few. Got my ears pierced (of course) when I was in second grade after pleading for about a year. Then I got them pierced again in 11th grade, but decided to be a rebel and get both the piercings in the same ear, so 3 in one, one in the other. Then after I got out of the army, it was a piercing extravaganza - ears pierced again, this ( Read more... )

I got 100% on my art history exam, which means I got an A+ in the class. So an A+ in geology and an A+ in art history, YAY ME!!!!!!!! Not only is that a 4.0, it also means I get to keep the books I bought a few weeks ago. I decided I would congratulate myself with them if I got 2 A+s, and I did!!!! So yay, they're all mine. Oh and even better, I ( Read more... )

Well at least until June 26. I had my exam today. I'm pretty sure I nailed it, but we'll find out next week for sure. Although the day didn't start off so bright, I hit a bird on the way to take the kids to school today. Not too happy about that. But I took the kids to school and then made my way to class. I chatted with some classmates, I will ( Read more... )

Well Chris had the day off, which was very convenient because I had so much I needed to do at school. So he took the kids to school while I went to UNO and got stuff done before class. First I sold back my books and got $37.50, which is better than nothing although about $100 less than what I paid for them. Then I got my new ID card. The school is ( Read more... )
