m.c. escher, parking architect

Sorry, can’t blog.  I’m lost in the parking garage at work.  Seriously, there’s a 4th dimension here somewhere between one end and the other.  I’ve been driving around for 3 days, trying to find the exit.  I can SEE it, but somehow I just can’t make it over there.

As soon as I get out, expect a big catch up post, full of work updates, exciting mostly FO and WIP pics, and maybe even an adorable Sadie pic!  MAYBE!

But first I need to get out of here.  I think if I go up this ramp, and then around, skip the first ramp down and turn at the SECOND ramp, I should find the way out…

new purse

Oh New Purse, how I love you so. We were meant to be together, you and I. We meet each other’s needs perfectly. Not like my Old Purse. Old Purse was a cheap fling, found at the spur of the moment and only to fulfill a temporary need. Old Purse and I never really got along, and Old Purse never really lived up to its potential. It was floppy and nonsupporting. And the zipper kept getting caught. When the zipper tore a giant hole in Old Purse’s lining, I knew it was time. Time for a new purse. A better purse. One that would stand the test of time. A big purse that will fit all my stuff, but not be to bulky. A purse with easily accessible pockets that will fit my cell phone and ipod easily, but also make them accessible in a hurry. A purse with a shoulder strap, not with the weeny little handles that are so fashionable these days. that force me to use a hand to hold - a hand that could be put to better use fondling yarn, and warding off creepy homeless people! But you and me, we don’t care about fashion, do we? No. We care only for cuteness and comfort. More »« Less

letter writing campaign

Dear Reynolds wrap slow cooker liners,

You are the best invention ever for lazy cooks. I think I love you. Will you marry me?

Dear The South,

Thank you for teaching my husband that a crock pot full of beans can be considered an entire meal. Now, let’s find some common ground on cornbread. More »« Less
