(seriously quit it)
Posted by: Sarah on: September 29, 2007
For the second time in a month, I’ve been whacked with some sort off mutant cold/flu virus which features such charming symptoms as sneezing, fever and Faucet-Nose-n-Butt.
Yes, I do like to overshare, why do you ask?
I think part of it is a virus and part of it is just the goddamned allergies blowing around. The [...]
oh so blue

The Capt’n, like so many fearless leaders before him, has been struck by that most medieval of aliments — gout.
Or “teh gout” as we call it around these parts. Because adding “teh” just underscores how ridiculous that particular diagnosis is in the early 21st century. I mean, honestly, with a disease like teh gout, we [...]

I bought a Nikon D40 SLR yesterday.
Yeah, I did use this little side project as justification. “Oh, I want to take pictures of my projects, better pictures than what my crappy ol’ point-n-shoot is capable of. Guess I’ll just have to take advantage of the D40 price drop.”
But seriously, I am having a severe case [...]
anna’s socks
Posted by: Sarah on: September 11, 2007
Awesomeness came last week in the form of my co-worker Cheryl, who requested a pair of socks for her two-year-old daughter, Anna. It’s the first time someone’s commissioned a project from me, and I was thrilled to comply.
I ended up modifying the Thuja sock pattern from Knitty for a toddler — because I like to [...]

I’m sick.
See? Fizzy Hippy Water (TM) in a pretty plastic cup means I am rather ill. I’m glad it’s just the general crud and not, like, death in a handbasket (the Capt’n’s specialty) and I assume I’ll make a speedy recovery, but still. I felt bad enough to chisel out eight hours of sick time [...]

This afternoon, after more than a week, the Capt’n fired up the new engine in his car and then proceeded to drive it around the neighborhood without having to ring me for help (or at least a tow) once.
I thought I’d bake to celebrate. Why not? The boy needed brownies, and the Yellow Book suggested [...]

Overheard in my kitchen:
“So, can we have the good — I mean, the strong coffee tomorrow?”
“You know, we might need another one of those press thingies.”
“Aaaaaaaah. Sweet, sweet caffeine.”
the labor day project

Last winter, the Capt’n’s parents converted their guest room into a home office and gave us some of their furniture. Specifically, we became the owners of a twin bed with trundle and a small bedside table. The beds were shoved into what has been affectionately dubbed “the junk room,” but I didn’t have a clue [...]
