Why lunch should be spent eating, pompom armies, and a warning

Fri, 10/28/05 1:47 P GMT-07
My intentions were purely noble, I needed Xmas yarn - to knit up for a gift.  And I didn't have what would have been perfect in my stash. (Yes! I checked.)  P. can back me up on this.  So I went to the LYS over lunch, and what happened?  Ugh.

Mini-honeymoon, Cloudcroft, and No-wheresville New Mexico

Wed, 10/26/05 8:11 A GMT-07
A few shots from our mini honeymoon in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. (Does not include pics of our dinner at the Almagordo Denny's on night #2!  Just so you don't think us really sad, we are going to New Zealand next year sometime.)Finally!  It was open

Zoo Knits, or how to finish socks in STYLE.

Tue, 10/25/05 7:24 A GMT-07
Enough of this wedding stuff. I promise to post good pictures of the event as they trickle in (no professional photographer, so P. and I are dependent upon friends and family.) but I am so happy that I am out the other side of the wedding I will not

Stupid landline

Mon, 10/24/05 9:18 A GMT-07
Of course I wrote out a nice long post about the wedding and how fantastic everything was, and then my line was dropped.  Stupid landline at home isn't working very well. So I will endeavor to take my lunches at the wireless cafe where I can update

Nana Visitor was at my wedding rehearsal

Thu, 10/20/05 3:45 P GMT-07
Ok.  I am going to skip over all the boring anxiety crap that I went through last week (except to say that our landline at home? Dying.  Static-y, incomprehensibly horribly crackily.  So, yes, shouting into the phone to the caterer's assistant. 

Nuptial Bliss and matters of great importance

Mon, 10/17/05 5:40 P GMT-07
Hi all!  I am honeymooning (sort of) in quaint Cloudcroft New Mexico - just had me some barbeque pork and have gorged on salt water taffy.  Everything went well in the end, but I will just HAVE to fill you in on the chaos that did happen.  But nev

8 days and counting, and why the cat is in the dog house

Fri, 10/07/05 1:05 P GMT-07
Last night I actually got some sleep.  HUZZAH!! I would like to thank my new espresso-colored flannel sheets and duvet cover.And one of the cats has committed a major sin. More major than peeing on the oriental carpet, more major than puking on the

9 days and counting, and natural vs. unnatural states

Thu, 10/06/05 3:39 P GMT-07
Ok, if I don't start sleeping soon the bags under my eyes will be of monstrous proportions.  Part of the problem is that I am a light sleeper and my cats are early risers.  This makes for a bad confluence. P.? He sleeps like a log. Thunder, lighte

10 days and counting, and a Cascading Leaves sock

Wed, 10/05/05 12:39 P GMT-07
Last night I couldn't get to sleep...I was thinking about all the things I was afraid to forget!

11 days and counting and views of the Festival

Tue, 10/04/05 9:20 A GMT-07
Cripes. I am talking to wedding vendors constantly. Makes me want to take to my bed with a cream sherry and my knitting.  Ugh.Right. Taos Wool Festival. It was mahvelous.  Go see Jenny's take on it.  I will just post my pictures, because Jenny gav

12 days and counting, and the haul

Mon, 10/03/05 3:53 P GMT-07
Since Jenny put up her haul already, I had better get with the program!  What a yarn glutton I am. I think the Taos Wool Festival marks the beginning of my yarn fast. We aren't talking diet people, this is an out and out yarn-strike.First, a lovely
