What I’m getting making Mr. Hockey for his b-day (which is November 17. Shut up. They’re just socks. I love knitting socks. I know I’m ridiculous and that the chances of still dating him at that point are questionable. So what? This is a delicious looking pattern.)
But if we aren’t seeing each other anymore by [...]

DS1 came home from his first conference soccer game last night and said “Can you make me a doctor appointment for Thursday morning? I can’t run.”
Questioning him did no good. I couldn’t even get out of him clearly whether they had won or lost, what the score was or if he had even played! All [...]

Finally the greyness is lifting around here. For being in a drought we’ve had more days of grey and rain since I returned from vacation than I would have liked. Or maybe it’s just the last week or so. I don’t know. All I know is I was starting to struggle against the bad stuff [...]

Gonzales resigned this weekend. It’s announced and official.
Maybe I’m paranoid, but I’m getting a little worried about what they’re up to with all this “house cleaning.”
Where’s a good conspiracy theorist when you need one?

One of the most surprising things about this here blog space is the number of hits I get on the review I wrote for this restaurant last August. And the number of flaming comments I got on said review (most of which I just deleted. So, sue me.)
But last June a comment caught my eye. [...]

When I was in high-school I had a serious boyfriend my senior year. He was a junior. Smart, cute, creative, athletic (soccer and skate-boarder…back in the late 70’s! I’m just saying.) A little bit of a bad boy (I mentioned skater, right?) And our relationship was serious. Of course, as teenagers we thought we knew [...]
