Between Rome and Paradise: FINALLY!
http://betweenromeandparadise.blogspot.com/2014/12/finally.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2014. I didn't sleep well the night before last, just could not drift off (damn that five o'clock cup of coffee), but since I am RETIRED, I made up for the difference by sleeping in. Consequently, I was still in my pj's when the contractor called to say they were on their way. Wha'? The week before, the paint-and-ceiling crew came and fixed one join in the crown molding that I was willing to live with but that really bothered the owner of the contracting company; he's tall and it ...

Bitten by Knittin'...: Thought process
http://bittenbyknittin.blogspot.com/2015/03/thought-process.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. Even though I am not knitting DK boot socks right now, I like to have a pair of socks on the needles at all times. At first, I picked out the pattern for Errant Socks (from Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines. But since I had already started the toe, I stayed with the more rounded one from the Errant Socks pattern. Does this make sense? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Between Rome and Paradise. Feather and Fan baby blanket. Hats off to watch caps. Sorry for the absence...

Bitten by Knittin'...: I Hate Borders
http://bittenbyknittin.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-hate-borders.html
Thursday, January 25, 2007. To be my favorite store. Books, music, coffee - what more could a body want? Well, last night I discovered that a little organization would be nice. What happened was this: Upon the recommendation of forum readers at Knitter's Review. I went in search of. Borders' online inventory indicated it was in stock, and I checked again when I got to the store. But, even with two of us looking, we could not find the book. I don't like Barnes and Noble. I agree finding a needle in a hays...

October Rose: A resolution with a plan for 2015
http://octoberrose.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-resolution-with-plan-for-2015.html
The rest of my life. Thursday, January 01, 2015. A resolution with a plan for 2015. When I retired from my job (which, by the way, I do NOT miss at all), I decided not to take on anything new for at least six months. That turned out to be a good thing, as the final remodeling of the house was underway and continued to be underway for what seemed like an eternity. Once that was complete. I settled into what I had planned to do all along during retirement. And very soon became a bit bored. Monday evening, ...

October Rose: To sleep, perchance to sleep
http://octoberrose.blogspot.com/2009/09/to-sleep-perchance-to-sleep.html
The rest of my life. Friday, September 18, 2009. To sleep, perchance to sleep. The new mattress was delivered last Saturday morning. Good-bye, saggy pillow top, hello Therapedic New Castle! Already my back feels better. I also can sleep on my left side without feeling like my lungs are being compressed, something I have not done for quite some time now; I blamed my scoliosis but I guess it was just the mattress. I hope not, because now that the new mattress smell has dissipated, I am liking it. A lot.

October Rose: Homewrecker
http://octoberrose.blogspot.com/2015/07/homewrecker.html
The rest of my life. Saturday, July 11, 2015. I've been calling the cat-with-no-name. Beau", which rhymes with "NO! Some days, Finn and Beau get along fine. Other times, I think Finn is going to kill Beau, pinning him to the floor and administering some punishing bites. And yet, Beau keeps coming back for more. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Between Rome and Paradise. How I almost killed my dog. SCOTUS, I respectfully disagree. Six weeks since my last post, time for another. Happy anniversary to us.

October Rose: A cat with no name
http://octoberrose.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-cat-with-no-name.html
The rest of my life. Saturday, May 16, 2015. A cat with no name. I don't miss having a dog, but I do miss Betsy. Finn is a wonderful cat, but he stays out all night and sleeps all day, so sometimes it is like not having a cat at all. Hence, I was weak when I met the cat formerly known as Mr. B. They call me MISTER Banks. A friend of a friend of my daughter's found Finn. A friend of a friend of my son's found Mr. B. No sense in my looking for cats when they seem to find me through my children. My hope is ...

October Rose: Work-life balance when there is no work
http://octoberrose.blogspot.com/2015/04/work-life-balance-when-there-is-no-work.html
The rest of my life. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Work-life balance when there is no work. Joining the Wild Walkers. Was a good idea, but lately Grandma duty has interfered. So far, this has been fine with me, as I have discovered I am a "fair weather" hiker. Once pre-school is over, I should be able to participate more frequently. assuming I can tolerate the mosquitoes and deer flies. My SO and I are even going to travel a bit.

Bitten by Knittin'...: Time out
http://bittenbyknittin.blogspot.com/2015/03/time-out.html
Saturday, March 21, 2015. I took (another) tumble. A couple of weeks ago. Injuries include a sprained wrist, so I rested it until the swelling went down. It is still wrapped in an Ace bandage, but I find I can knit again. And type. Labels: Easy as Pie. How is your wrist feeling now? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Between Rome and Paradise.
