Well folks..after knitting for almost two years, I finally got my hands on some of that famous yarn…Malabrigo…better known as Mmmmmm.
Just how I obtained it is a story in itself.
One evening, while I was chatting on KnittingHelp.com, the subject of Mmmmmm came up. I lamented how I’ve never seen or touched it before. [...]

Well folks, there’s no mystery here, is there? My daughter’s team did not win on Sunday. The team had to play a team they had already beaten in the first round. Yeah, I know…not fair. But, as we all know, life doesn’t appear to be fair sometimes. I guess it just depends on your perspective. [...]

Whew! This was a busy week!
When I got home from my trip last weekend, I found I had two blankets to work on. Here is a picture of Melon Medley. I decided to continue the moss stitch that the previous knitter had used. I dug into my stash and opted for [...]

Today, while attending an academics awards ceremony at my daughter’s high school, I was reminded of some insecurities I thought I had put aside.

I traveled this weekend…which probably doesn’t surprise you by now. This is the busiest time of the season for us. With another round of state playoffs right around the corner, the team is taking every opportunity to practice. Living across state from most of the players has proven to be a challenge. The solution has [...]

So much for a quiet Wednesday. No sooner did I post that entry did my life turn upside down once again.
After dozing off on the couch…killing time until my son’s doctor appointment, I arose to find a pool of blood on the floor where my dog, Aubie, had been sleeping. I do not [...]

I run so hard that it’s nice, every once in a while, to have a quiet day.
I got up this morning and got myself ready for work. All I needed to do was iron my clothes. I usually do that after I run my daughter to high school…in my thick, fuzzy, white robe. Yes, I’m [...]

First of all, I must ask…WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WARM WEATHER???
You probably saw the sunburn I got on Saturday when I spent the afternoon outside in the 86-degree weather. Well, here’s what it looked like when we arrived at the soccer field on Sunday morning:
And it was cold!
Now, I have to brag a bit. [...]

That’s what happens when you spend all day out in the sun with your arms in the following position:
I spent most of the day on the soccer field. The FSU and UCF girls teams played an exhibition game. It was great to see a college game up close. Hopefully, my daughter will [...]
