Tuesday night is grocery shopping night.  It's in permanent marker on the calendar.  If that's not pathetic enough, how's this: last night, I found myself singing out loud to the 1978 chestnut, "I Go Crazy," by Paul Da

After a lovely and mostly-relaxing four day weekend, I'm back at work.  Blech.  On Saturday, we had the usual rowdies (MIL, BIL, and brother) over our place for a bbq.  We haven't grilled in years, and I thought this holiday we

I finished the Silk Garden socks - they were a pretty fast knit.  They took almost 1 ball each.  So that's that project.  I didn't receive the mitred baby blanket pattern that I ordered from Tess last week.  I hoped to get
