I voted yesterday

Wil Wheaton‘s post about why he voted for Obama perfectly articulates why I did as well. I struggled with whether Hillary might be our only chance at a female president. I thought about voting for her just to see if it could happen. But I really see her as being steeped in the politics-as-usual mindset. […]

Biggotry in the Tea World

Just for clarification, I like my tea with half and half or cream. Either one is good with me. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about what should go in tea, but don’t be a hater ‘cuz I like the cream 😉 Love and kisses, Miriam

All up and running

My site is all up and running again (at least as far as I can tell). Let me know if you see any bugs. The shop has been tested and is running again as well. In completely unrelated news, Heath Ledger has died. Be still my heart.

A Laugh to Start the Weekend Off Right

Anne sent me a link to this and it made my rather harried and stressed day much better. Thought you might enjoy it. And I made it through a week of blogging every day! (At least weekdays… I hardly ever blog on weekends) Let’s see if I can continue the trend 🙂 It’s not like […]

It is time….

The Days are too short for a full-time job and knitting photography to dwell happily in the same house. Flash photography gives my knits a florescence that they definitely DON’T have. The blue brother socks are finished (have been for a while) as are the second pair of clogs, and I’m knitting socks for the […]

OMG, BRENDA!!

Not that you don’t normally listen to Cast-on, but the new episode, episode 58? Make sure you listen to it all the way to the very end. I was all weepy from the hormones last song and then there it was. haha!

C and I have our desks in the same room, with our back to each other so we can focus, but close enough we can point out a funny lolcat picture or say whatever pops into our heads. But tonight we are in the office and both geeking out. He bought a set of BOSE […]

Blankets for Veterans

A friend of mine who’s husband is in the Army (and being deployed again) sent me this e-mail and I thought maybe some of you would be interested in helping out. Introducing Soldiers’ Angels Operation Hug-A-Hero – “Honoring Our Veterans One Stitch At A Time” Patti has asked our crochet team to help provide holiday […]

AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to tell you that the Aspen Grove pattern is done and ready to go out on October 1st, but it’s not. I got about 15 min. this morning to work on it before starting my new job (going well, but feeling overwhelmed). Plus I feel like I’m drowning in some legal matters […]

A gathering of random

1. A moment of silence, please, for Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time series. After battling a horrible disease, the writer of one of my favorite (and sadly unfinished *sob* fantasy series is dead). The thought of never knowing what happens with Rand, et.al. fills me with uneasiness, but thank you for the hours […]
