Ouch!

I worked hard on Saturday to finish the necklace I was commissioned to make for the friend of a friend.  Gripping that skinny needle for so many hours gave me a cramp in my right thumb and index finger, but I dare say the final result is worth i

Home Again Home Again

I'm back at work after a blissful 5-day weekend away.  Ack. King Tut was a little disappointing.  I had hoped for more large objects, although I knew I wouldn't get mummies.  And so much of the exhibit was from tombs other than

Whoops! Been Busy

Tuesday, 24 July 2007 9:06 A GMT-05
I haven't posted in over a week, have I?  I'm still around, just a bit busy.  This past weekend, we did some grilling on both Saturday and Sunday.  My brother joined us for dinner on Saturday, and I probably should have invited

A Strange Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Thursday, 12 July 2007 7:39 A GMT-05

Stuff, but No Knitting

Tuesday, 10 July 2007 8:13 A GMT-05
Not that I haven't been knitting, I just don't have any progress photos (honestly, I really hate taking them) or much to talk about, knitting-wise.  I finished half of the Clementine Shawlette, am almost done with the second version of m

Half of 2007 is Over?

Sunday, 1 July 2007 1:20 P GMT-05
Hard to believe....I ended the half year mark with a bang.  On Wednesday night, Neal and I went to see Kathy Griffin at the Lyric.  She was a riot, starting out with a lengthy spiel on the stupidity of Paris Hilton and ending up two hours l
