My first sock of my first pair of socks is moving right along. I finished the heel flap, turned the heel, and worked the gussets tonight, and am now working on the foot. It’s pooling, but I think I rather like the effect.
I do, however, think that the next pair I do will be an [...]

I have recently come to the realization that I have a condition. Yes, that’s right. A condition.
This past week was my “down week.” I’ve been looking forward to it all semester. It’s the week between the day that I turn in final grades for the spring semester, and next week, when I must start teaching [...]

First, let me say that Weight Watchers really is instilling in me the desire to make better food choices. I’d LIKE to sit down with a bottle of wine while grading final papers. But I won’t. I’ll have diet cherry coke instead, which I also like. I’d LIKE to have a donut or chocolate chip [...]
Cell Phone Etiquette Rant

Ok, I’m totally going to rant now, so if you despise bloggy, self-indulgent, soap-boxy rants, please skip ahead for this evening’s postings about my first full-fledged sweater or my latest yarn indulgences.
I’m sitting here in my office, grading some papers. I have the door closed for privacy (I’m also working on my Mass Comm final [...]

Every year, these few weeks are busy. It’s finals week for me, of course, which means I’m grading grading grading. But it’s also just spring social season.
The girl had her annual vet visit on Friday, and she’s shedding like crazy! I mean, like she’s never shed before. She reminds me of that kid, PigPen, from The [...]
Election Day

Today is the big day in Pennsylvania. Often, by the time PA has their primaries, the decision is pretty clear. But this year, it’s just so close.
My husband and I are split on this topic. We’re both Democrats. But he’s STILL supporting Clinton, despite my incessant lectures about why Obama is a better choice for [...]

Ok, so I was a basketcase last night.
M took me to this really incredible new Brazilian restaurant in Nazareth called Rio’s, and it was just a divine birthday dining experience. And it IS an experience. We had stopped by last Saturday to visit, but they weren’t accepting walk-ins, so we tried it on a weeknight.
You [...]
Mid-30s

I turn a whopping 35 years old on Wednesday. Tomorrow. How is that possible? I don’t feel 35. I certainly don’t act 35. I don’t think I do, at least.
But here I am, firmly entrenched in my mid-30s, and I’m having some trouble with this birthday, for some reason. I mean, on some level, here [...]

M’s cousin is getting married in early May. It’s our first wedding since our own nearly 6 months ago, and for reasons that are too numerous to list, I’m fretting about my outfit. Ladies, are you with me so far? I have this fantastic image in my head that details what my outfit will be [...]

When did we become too busy to notice the little pleasures? I’m just as guilty as the next girl in my focus on getting stuff done, but people are just so GRUMPY! Is it just Jersey, or is it everywhere?
I was walking out to my car on Monday afternoon. It was one of those warm [...]
