My computer’s down, really? Not MY computer…my computer is always so reliable…my computer never dies. I mean, I’m a writer, for sweet Goddess’ sake–and a teacher! I have lesson plans to revise, and I only got 250 pages done this summer, including the 12 units (A’s all around) that I took between the hours of… Read More

I’ve sworn off the Amazon.com forums forever…I just get to worked up…I’ve got too many other things to get all wired up about. We’ve finally made hotel reservations–don’t expect to… Read More

This first one’s so you remember that I have an older son, he’s ginormous, and to give you an idea of who it is I’ve been playing tug-of-war with when I tell you that we’ve been trying to share Harry Potter for three days. I won the war today when I finished it, and was… Read More

Okay…I’m going to crap up my perfectly boring blog with pictures made of shite… forgive me… Does anybody else do the SSK decrease the way I do? I’m just curious. First, I put the yarn over the left hand needle, in front of the next stitch, like this shitty picture will indicate: Next, I lift… Read More

I’m so tired of running errands… I don’t care if it’s grocery shopping one day or dog food the next or soccer/dance/karate/gymnastics oh God! or visiting people on the off hours… And let’s take a look at that visiting thing, shall we?
