It’s Raining! It’s Pouring!

Nobody here is snoring!
Really, no one in this house has ever snored.  In fact, if you are a regular snore-er, you won’t here.  True!  We should have our own infomercial!
I may be lying.
Wet Tuesday.  Heavy rain for NorCal.  I’m happy!  Especially since I can avoid the freeway easily most of the day.  Luckily, I finally [...]

Snapshot of a good day

Time to take down the Easter eggs hanging around the house.  We celebrate Spring, and spring means painted eggs brought by fertile rabbits.  Very confusing thing, Spring.  But it was more like Summer early this week, and nobody could move or think.  Now we’re back to normal weather, of a sort.  Much more pleasant.  We [...]

Work, in which I spend much time on the computer. And [...]

Where is that camera?

Busy, busy, busy.
Saturday was a soccer day – the last day of games this year!  Hooray! says Mom.  Kiddo has grown into enjoying the games, so he’s sad to stop.  Unexpectedly, we had two games because it was a tournament weekend.  Who knew?  We are not the most organized team in the league, nor is [...]

And I finished Tilted Blocks

That was quick!  I just finished it in the car this morning, waiting for somebody.  One skein Noro Kureyon, Tilted Blocks scarf from Knitting New Scarves, on #4 needles.  Not a long scarf, but the kid’s claimed it already.  I have another skein of the same yarn, and could make another for me, but I [...]
