Today, I turned 38. What a great day I’m having too!
We’re at a soccer tournament, which is fitting given that almost everything I do is for my children (except the knitting, which they do not appreciate at all). On our way here yesterday, we stopped very briefly to meet my sister. [...]

What a great project! I’ve been in love with these Greenaway Fingerless Gloves since I found the pattern for my Winter Wonderland swap partner. Of course, I couldn’t afford the yarn the pattern calls for…until it went on sale a few weeks ago. I got this yarn from purlsoho.com and only paid $15! [...]

I started working on my Greenaway Fingerless Gloves last night. I even completed the first one, but I decided not to post a picture until I’ve finished the second one.
So, not wanting to disappoint my faithful readers, I pondered about what to post today. I have a picture I want to share. [...]

Easter Sunday was a good day. Of course, I started the day by attending church with my family. I loved the sermon this morning. It went beyond the traditional Easter message and really challenged believers to heed Jesus’ call to serve Him. Very thought-provoking…
Here is a picture of the flowers I [...]

Who is this Sasquatch, you ask. Well, it’s me…AuburnChick. Why would I equate myself with a hairy beast? Allow me to explain.
You see, dear readers, I cannot remember the last time I shaved my legs. This morning, I decided, for some odd reason, that it was time to get rid of [...]

I started to title this post “She’s So Vain.” Cue up Carly Simon’s song and change the pronoun. Allow me to explain why…
Today was a good day for me. I woke up early to attend special church services. The kids went too. What a great way to start the [...]

Well, the fun had to end sometime, didn’t it? One cannot live the life of luxury and buy yarn every day, right? Only if you’re Paris Hilton. Imagine that — Paris in a yarn store…Paris, knitting.
First things first…
My daughter’s team did not finish up as strongly as it started. They lost [...]

Folks, Las Vegas has redeemed herself in AuburnChick’s eyes!
No, I didn’t win at the slot machines. Nothing as exciting as that (winning money is always a thrill, eh?). I won a jackpot of a different kind. But more on that later.
First of all, I feel the need to apologize. My previous [...]

Well, we are officially in Las Vegas!
Our trip got off to a good start, even though we had to be at the airport at o’dark-thirty, as we’re fond of calling any hour before daybreak. I don’t know how I’ve managed to keep my eyes open given the long day (and it ain’t even over [...]

“She’s leaving on a jet plane…”
AuburnChick’s family is headed to Vegas!!!!
What would possess a woman to wake up her family at the cheery hour of 3:30am to catch a 6am flight? Are the glitzy lights and siren calls of the slot machines drawing AuburnChick out West?
Alas…no…it is none of the above.
The reason for the [...]
