I got a wake up call right after the first of the year.
I went to the doctor for a sinus infection and my blood pressure was high. So high in fact, that my nurse practitioner was afraid I would have a stroke. She ripped open a sample box of BP meds and stood and [...]
This past week I went to the bank to pick up our passports from the safety deposit box for our upcoming trip to the UK.
This is where I am going to confess my irrational fear of banks. I hate going inside the bank because, wait for it, I’m afraid there will be a robbery. [...]
The three cacti I crocheted for Kat and Sean. If only I could crochet little sombreros for them they would be perfect.
Excuse me a sec, while I go look for a pattern…

This critter doesn’t have an owner yet but that’s only [...]
With Stephen gone the past two weeks, I had a lot of time to practice my new hobby.
The hat took way longer than it should have but I learned a ton in the process. Like you have to count the stitches. Not just guess. It’s the difference between a rug and something you can actually [...]

Stephen’s folks are visiting, so today they went to have lunch with Eli at school. For the kids in kindergarten, having a visitor for lunch is considered cool. We decided we should all get in as many lunches with him as possible before he turns 7 and realizes that having family around your friends actually [...]
In honor of Dr. Suess’s birthday this week, Eli’s school has activities planned every day. Today is crazy hair day. Stephen and I decided he looked a bit like an Anime character but since I don’t know anything about Anime really, I have no idea which one.
He started asking me this morning at 6:03 when [...]
It’s been a snowy mess here lately. I jokingly said at Christmas that it snowed all the time here, so I think the universe decided to prove me right.
While it’s been too cold to even stick my toe outside, I’ve been stitching and listening to podcasts. I blame Alex at The Gearheart for addicting [...]
