Last week I hinted to a recent addition to my reading arsenal. A week later I’m still gathering all my thoughts but I am pleased with my decision.
It was not one that came easily, though it was one driven by a need for lightness. My bag collection causes my husband some frustration and I realized [...]

It seems like it’s been one of those weeks for myself and just about everyone I know. Shadow and I hope your weekend is one of happiness, health, friendship, and family. He also really hopes that E and I will be able to devote more time to snuggling with him. He’s resorted to waking me [...]

Floss (1)

Thu 04 Feb 10 •

Just a nice kind reminder to take care of your teeth. Floss daily and visit your dentist for regular check-ups including x-rays. X-rays can pick up things that a surface only exam won’t pick up.
The next few weeks will serve a reminder for me to practice good tooth habits.
Today? Another root canal. I last had [...]

On a Ravelry message board it’s come to my attention that perhaps I have a problem.

This leads me to ask a few questions because I’m often insatiable in my curiosity of how others live. It’s normally confined [...]

I always wonder if I was switched last minute at birth and was born in the US by a rushed routing error. I have strong like for many things Japanese and British; spelling and being on the left side of walk ways being two examples.
In terms of reading, consuming Arthurian legends, talk of the [...]

Wed 27 Jan 10 •

I wanted to write about several projects I’ve been working on but forgot to charge the camera battery and thus there are no photos. Project write ups aren’t fun without photos.
I’ve been spinning. So far this month I’m averaging about 5 minutes a day. I’ve missed a day or two, but I’ve figured out how [...]

I’ve been trying not to let fruits and vegetables compost in the bottom of the fridge anymore. It’s often difficult to buy variety that two humans with reasonable appetite can consume before they go bad. The item that I have the most difficulty with are bean sprouts. We generally go through about half a bag [...]
