Are you ready? I just got home from the grocery store where I got all the fixings for a roast beef dinner and some last minute candy for stocking stuffers. I forgot one thing. But my husband is quite insane and he actually *likes* to shop on Christmas Eve. So I'll get him to pick ...
I did a little retail therapy with my best girls on Saturday while the menfolk went on a deep sea fishing trip. We had a nice girl's lunch at Chili's. I bought some clothes in some smaller sizes - which is always exciting. And then of course a few of us hit the local yarn ...
We had entirely too much fun! Did I meet you there? Make sure to friend me on Ravelry or Twitter or leave a comment. I'm picnicknits pretty much everywhere. I did not take enough pictures however. That might be because I forgot my camera. Yeah. But hey, let's tell a mini story in pictures anyhow. Door ...
Yes, I'm channeling Sponge Bob. Very sad. But I am ready for Stitches South. Well except for the packing and the um, driving, and um, all of that. But I have a lovely drink mix for me and my girlies. And I bought a ...

Today was the annual Thanksgiving Feast up at the school. We serve up a proper Thanksgiving dinner - complete with homemade stuffing - to about 750 people. It's very fun, but very tiring. I served a lot of corn today and plated up a lot of pie. And all I want now is a hot ...
I wish I could express how much fun I had. Or how fabulous my traveling companions were. Or how every knitter I met and talked to was gracious and kind and hilarious and fun. Really. It was like being in some sort of fabulous knitting commune where there is every color wool and cute waiters ...
So I'm super excited - I'm going to Stitches South. Just for the weekend to visit the market and to hang out and have a girls' weekend. I can't remember the last time I've done this. Shoot, I think the last time I went out of town for the weekend without the boys was when ...
I've gone through some tough times when I was on my own. But I figured things out and I had help from my family. Now I am incredibly blessed to have this amazing husband who works so very hard to take care of us. Sometimes things are tight around here, but we have decided it ...
