Today is my Saturday (Sunday for everyone else), so I’ve been very busy taking it easy. My morning tea was delayed by my own distraction – I went web surfing. Having been on the internet since sometime in the early 90’s, I’ve come to find that we tend to stick to the known. I decided […]
Testing the RSS feed… Awhile back, my webhost did some upgrades to his server(s), and tried to also do some improvements. The best plans of geeks and men fell flat, and we wound up with some weird bugs. One of which was some busted permalinks. Next, I noticed that the hit count had gone down […]
This is what I have after two days’ worth of knitting: Now, bear in mind that I’ve been somewhat limited i time as I’m working a mid-shift this week (11am to 8pm), but generally I can crank out some decent length on a cuff. I added the standard size pen for reference, because I’m not […]
Kitty-cats don’t like it when their schedules change. This one particularly doesn’t like the fact that the time change means her feeding schedule has changed. She’s gotten particularly vocal about it, in fact, and prone to wandering between the closed pantry and her bowls. She’s also developed this whole weird glowy-eye thing that makes me […]
It was cold in the house yesterday. I think it’s a sign that Winter is on its way. So Robin flipped the switches on the wall that would give us the Cozy Fire buff, and we settled in with some Hot Chocolate to watch a couple of PVR’ed episodes of Grimm. Grimm, by the way, […]
Also known as “Things I was doing when I wasn’t posting here”. You see, the thing about being on vacation means that rather than being a slave to either the job or to the blog, I can go outside on occasion and do things “in the wild”. That is, of course, when I’m not being […]
Someone in this household picked up discount Hallowe’en candy at the grocery store. And it’s a Coffee Crisp-heavy load. To quote the Husbeast, “I love Coffee Crisp, and I never get any for Hallowe’en”. When I was a kid, I had to fight tooth-and-nail for Coffee Crisp and Mars. For years, I’d be absolutely […]
I’ve been on vacation for about a week now, and I have another week to go. It’s been pretty good so far…father-in-law brought us a few things they had in storage for us (a sectional, an oak desk and a steamer trunk that, according to family lore, narrowly missed going down on the Titanic. We […]
I have four unlit jack o’lanterns in my kitchen, giving me this soulful look of “you know you want to light us, right?? I also have way too much leftover candy that is very quickly making its way into my bloodstream. Apparently November is Movember, which means that most of my guy friends will be […]
Last year we left off getting a pumpkin until the last minute. And then we couldn’t find one if our lives depended on it, and even the faux Pumpkins at Michael’s Crafts were gone, and I was a very sad lady. Why? Because I like to carve pumpkins. To the point where, after gutting the […]
