It’s been really cold and snowy here, like much of the country, so I’ve been cooped up, doing indoorsy type crafts (as opposed to outdoorsy type crafts like dyeing, which frankly is not appealing right now). In addition to The World’s Longest Strand of I-cord, I put together something I’ve wanted to do for a [...]
I ran across this list today via Kottke, and it made me happy. I think I have a new game for long car rides, now – “Name something better than a NYC Hot Dog.” Of course, I’ve never had a NYC hot dog, so I’ll just have to replace it with “Name something [...]
Been doing a bit of cooking lately, because I got sick of eating take-out all of the time (except for the cheesy fries they now have at the ice cream place down the road from me. Cheesy fires = NOM!). Here’s the healthy food I made:
It’s basically samosas that are baked in won [...]

I should be cleaning the house right now in anticipation of Travis’ dad showing up tomorrow evening, but I can’t quite get up the motivation to do so yet. Meh. I did a pre-DC shop update this morning instead. Here’s part of the special order of a pound of dumplings:
I had a [...]
I’ve accumulated a fair amount of leftover fiber debris from the combing of roving balls, so I started working on making some new Anarchy batts today.
I did seven and then my hand started hurting (I had an unfortunate run in with the wool picker yesterday – note to self – If something very, very pointy [...]
I screwed up my back a few days ago, which is always irritating. This time, I did it by stretching. Apparently, I’m a doofus. Anyway, it’s not as bad as it’s been in the past, and I expect to be combing roving balls again tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve been hanging [...]

Act II is up! Best part – Captain Hammer, waving fists, “Because these… are not my hammer.” His hammer is something else! Squee!!
Project Runway was actually pretty good last night, and I think the person who won is from Columbus. Yay, Ohio! This batch of contestants look pretty fun. [...]
…but I miss the food.
I watched The View this morning for the first time. Michelle Obama was on, and was completely, stunningly awesome. Bask in the girlcrush, you know you want to! Anyway, since I normally never watch TV during the day, I took advantage of the time to finish [...]

Since I’ve been spinning, I’ve come to realize that for whatever reason, my circadian spinning rhythms are seem to reset every summer. I spin a ton in the summer. My best explanation is that it’s more humid in the summer, and I don’t have to worry about becoming a gigantor static ball when [...]
Oh noes! Becky has tagged me! I can has meme!
1. What was I doing 10 years ago? Well, 10 years ago, Travis and I were on our honeymoon. I’ve narrowed it down as best I could and I’m pretty sure that 10 years ago today, we were [...]
