Quickie Update

The last couple of weeks have been especially hectic at work. I’m working on a major project that’s scheduled to go into production this week, so it’s a mad house. You’ll likely see shorter posts for the next few days, until things calm down a bit.
When I have a little time (very little!) I’m working [...]

Vacation Pics

I’ve been away from the computer a bit (longer than I expected, actually). Can I apologize by way of an offering of vacation pictures?
These were taken at North Bend State Park in West Virginia. It was peaceful, beautiful and just what we needed.

The beginning of the hiking trail, down next to the fishing pond.

Links

Here are some interesting links you might want to check out.
Reading HabitsĀ  I couldn’t believe how few books most people read. How many do you read a year, approximately? I’m guessing I read two to four books a month, roughly.
Here’s another blog about making money online. Oh yeah, it’s written by a 13 year old.
Freelance [...]

Updates

I’ve been super-busy the last few days, so here are some updates.
We have fleas. Well, by “we” I mean the pets, not my husband and me (yet). This year appears to be particularly bad for them, and the usual flea treatments aren’t working very well. Tonight, my husband bathed two dogs, one rabbit and two [...]

Andy Griffith Show: A different era

I was watching television with my mom, a real Andy Griffith fan, and this particular episode made me think about how things have changed, and maybe how they haven’t so much.
A little girl asked why boys have to think they’re better than girls at everything. “The male ego,” is the answer she receives, with the [...]

Short Rant

I just wanted to mention that I HATE websites that spew music. Not only is it intrusive, but when I’m somewhere quiet surfing, it’s very annoying.
And I won’t even mention that most of these sites are infringing copyright.
Sigh….
Glad I got that out of my system.

What I learned this weekend

Ahem…
The observant among you no doubt noticed the downtime. I’m not sure how long it lasted, but as you see, I’m back. Hosting usually works better when you 1. Pay with a good credit card and 2. Receive your email at an address that actually works. My husband saved the day on this one (thanks, [...]

Blog Pics

Sorry about the funky formatting yesterday. I didn’t realize the pictures would do that. I’ll get them edited soon and up again.

Knitting Goodness

Here’s the promised post, with lots of pics.Let me give you a little update first.

Tooth: better. Antibiotics and painkillers have done the trick. I’ll see the dentist next week.
Cat fight: not so good. Earlier today our two cats came rolling down the stairs, all teeth and claws. They’ve been at it ever since. My [...]

Gloom, Despair and Agony on Me…

If you don’t remember Hee Haw, then count yourself lucky poor you. My dad was a big fan, which meant we watched it every weekend.
We had family in last week, and that was lots of fun. I finished up a pair of socks while they were here and gave them to my aunt. She was [...]
