Woodchipper

There are guys outside my window stuffing trimmed branches into a woodchipper and all I can think about is the scene from Fargo. It makes me giggle… and I think that may be wrong ….

Voicing my disapproval

I am displeased. Displeased to the point of wanting to strangle someone. Not to death, just until their face turns a lovely purple color. I’ve said it before, but it seems due to be reiterated. The US Postal Service SUCKS. Aside from all the packages to Kerrie that went astray (and her subsequent packages to […]

*snarls at the world*

It’s sort of an old picture… but this is how I feel at the moment. There are a bunch of things that are stressing me out (some I can’t talk about), and I’m exhausted and I haven’t paid rent yet because I can’t remember that I need to pay it long enough to write the […]

Wow… just…. Wow

you should all go read this post RIGHT NOW. Go… seriously…. it will change your life. Then come back here and discuss.

*hugs the lovely people*

Organic Dark Chocolate and quick knitting on big needles are a pretty good tonic for the blues. The knitting is a pair of Fiber Trends felted clogs for my art-trade friend. It’s hard to feel like crap when your friends conspire to make you happy. Thanks to Isela for the flowers and Margene for her […]

Seriously??

If you google “Miriam” I come up as hits #6 and #10. Doesn’t that seem strange? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary is first, followed by 3 biblical Miriam links (Miriam being Moses’ sister), and one for the Miriam Hospital… and then me. Out of all the Miriams in the whole world and the portion that are on […]

Blaaaaaaaaa……………..rgh… *gurgle* *sputter*

For some unexplained reason my upper respiratory track has become a general plague area. It started with a bit of a sore throat that felt like maybe my sinuses draining and now I can’t breathe through my nose at all and it alternates between so stuffed up my head feels like it’s going to implode […]

Thanks everyone for the advice about postal services. I’ll give the USPS one more chance with Global Express mail (which is insured, so I bet they’ll keep better track of it), but if that goes astray, I’m switching to FedEx. You know I was going to show you an FO sweater today, but the designer […]

One more thing….

… does anyone know of a more reliable way to get parcels between the US and UK? The USPS really sucks and there’s no tracking or accountability. I’m open for recommendations. M
