Who do I look like?

Oh, this is too good. The other day, Staci posted her celebrity look-alikes, and I encouraged her readers to do the same. For YEARS now I’ve gotten tons of random comments from total strangers telling me that I look like their sister’s friend, or their cousin’s wife, or people will constantly act like they’ve met [...]

And he says I’m the catty one

While listening to the radio on a road trip:
“Now playing LESS hits MORE often!”
                       . . .
This morning while listening to NPR:
“I thought people were abandoning the word ‘niche’ in favor for the word ‘niche.‘”
                       . . .
Earlier today on IM:
“So. Done. With. Once. It. Feels. Like. *Twice*.”

SURPRISE!!!

I turned 30 this past Sunday and I am still REELING from this weekend’s festivities. I had such a spectacularly crappy week at work last week (a good work friend quit, I essentially report to my boyfriend now, and my crappy attitude in useless meetings has not changed (and someone seriously needs a vacation)) but [...]

I am psychic.

About babies, at least.
Instance #1: Four years ago, my friend called me out of the blue, and I said, “What’s up? Are you prego?” Turns out, that’s the reason she was calling. She’d just found out she was pregnant with her first. (And I swear we were not even talking about it prior to that!)

First, I finished my Basic Sock over the weekend! I probably would’ve finished sooner, but I didn’t listen to the Yarn Harlot. See, I originally started the toe decreases when she suggested, but then, in my [...]

This blog post took me longer to write than any other I’ve ever written, and at this point, I can’t think of a clever title. Move along.

I had lunch with a friend on Sunday (we’d made the date before either of us realized it was the day of The Big Game — oops!) and I realized that morning that I didn’t have anything to knit! I’d just finished my Baby Bobbi Bear and I hadn’t received the yarn for my next project, so [...]

Oh hell yah!

That’s what I said when I finally finished this thing.
When I posted yesterday about being nearly done with my Baby Bobbi Bear, I was only about half right. I still had to knit up his ears, sew them on, and embroider his face. And this ended up taking WAY longer than I would have liked. [...]

Knitting with Trepidation

A couple weeks ago I was lamenting to T that my blog was in bad need of an overhaul. (Not that I even blog that much anymore … but maybe if I had a new site I would??) Half-jokingly, T suggested I rename my blog “Knitting with Trepidation.” And I think that pretty much sums [...]
