A Fool and His Manny

on September 29, 2017

This is probably mean. But it’s late, and I need an hour of television and knitting or I’ll go out of my mind.  I finished a book last night–which is why I didn’t blog, because… you know… this… close… and also, Mate left for Germany, and I was missing him so the less introspection the… Read More


So, ZoomBoy, how was school?

So, I pick ZoomBoy up from school and the conversation goes like this: Me: So, ZoomBoy, how was school? ZB: It was okay–we didn’t have PE. Me: Why not? ZB: Because we had career day. The classes were cut short. Me: That was exciting. ZB: Yeah, sure. Okay–the end. Now, we took ZB’s cat, Dewey,… Read More

on September 26, 2017

My day was way more boring than it had to be. Last time we had the car serviced, I said, “Hey–the battery died after I played music in the car for twenty minutes” And the woman told me, “Well, you’re not supposed to do that. Batteries die.” And I just gaped at her, because if… Read More

Pretty pretty yarn…

on September 21, 2017

So I got a new order of yarn in the mail–it’s called Halloweentown (I think) and it’s from Nerd Girl Yarns.   Now, if you go to the page and look around, you’ll realize that they dye yarns in fandoms– so, a lot of their yarns are named after, say, characters or lines from Dr. Who… Read More


Mate’s Favorite Things

on September 20, 2017

Movies–ALL movies, he has no particular favorites. In my memory, I only remember him NOT watching four or five movies to the end. But he does have a few favorites, movies or television shows he’ll stop anything for, stay up late for, tape and watch over and over again.    You’ve Got e-Mail Sleepless In… Read More
