Knits With Cats
I'm a senior technical project manager at work, a knit project starter at home and a list-maker everywhere! I'm married and have too many cats, lots of books, almost enough rose bushes, and way too much yarn!

Self Indulgence

Lots to write about today, and pictures too!Watched the Oscars last night, and was underwhelmed. Yeah, it's nice when a local boy wins (Clint Eastwood), and the awards went pretty much as expected. Still, it seemed flat. Strange to note that, onc

Today is my sister's birthday; she's 49, and that makes me feel very, very old!I called her and we had a lovely talk. She's had 2 parties; one today, and one over the weekend which was organized by her college-age daughter. We should talk more of

How did this happen? The skirt for the wedding is finished, and it's too big. Damn!It's been a while since I did a lot of sewing, probably about a year since I made a garment, as opposed to altering a bought item, so I tried to be very careful an

Finished the first purl lace sock last night! Wanna see? It's really quite olive green, not muddy slime color, and the yarn (I don't remember the brand, but it is German) is sqooshy and warm. I'm very happy that I have a lot of this yarn - when
The Mean Reds
Wednesday, 9 February 2005 9:26 P GMT-08
Yesterday's post had a perhaps-too-subtle reference to Breakfast At Tiffany's - anyone notice? Yeah, I didn't think so. Holly Golightly talks about bad days when she has a case of the "mean reds" and that was rather how part of my Tuesd

I spent my formative years in West Texas (Midland to be exact), where 10,000 people watch high school games every Friday night, even when the team has lost 9 of 10 games. I was in the marching band, and attended all games, but I've been a football
