I knit, my husband turns wood. Knitting is far more reasonable money wise and much safer. Chuck had his new band saw one day and off we were to emergency for five stitches. I wonder how many ER’s see people the day they first use a new tool. He’s lucky to have fingers. The weird…

Rent was good last night despite feeling ill. The nine times I sneezed were at loud points in the play so the only ones who were really disturbed were my own kids sitting directly in front of us. We buy tickets that way, sitting the kids in front of us so that we are not…

My husband came back from visiting his family in Minnesota and brought me back a souvenir – his sore throaty fluey thing. This is not good, we have tickets to Rent tonight and I’m determined to go. I’m not one to give into stuff like this. I have a friend who was in the Peace…

I was counselled by those who know, that I should spell that three letter word with an asterisk, as in s*x. I was cautioned that I was taking a risk publishing a post that has the words s*x, nun, position, bitch and lay in it. Believe me, it’s all innocent. So, here goes… My son…

I sometimes get a knot in my right shoulder from knitting and mousing. One of my co-workers introduced me to this: It’s a stretchy little miracle – the Body Rite Posture Pleaser.

I couldn’t resist. OK it was free with a purchase of $75 at the mall where my office is located. I bought Rent tickets for the family and indulged in two of my favourite things – musical theatre and finding a bargain – a new crochet hook holder, he needs a name. Gracee’s big nose…

We’re recently back from vacation. I made the mistake of going on the Mind Bender roller coaster at West Edmonton Mall. What was I thinking? My daughter and I went after chickening out twice on previous visits. It was terrifying and murder on the neck. While my daughter screamed in terror, all I could say…

Is it the destination or the journey that’s important? A couple of years ago you could not have convinced me that I could be happy spending as much time producing eight square inches on teensy needles as producing a square foot on size 17’s. Lace knitting has taught me to enjoy the process. You have…

I’m learning through experience. I really read the warning before I changed my URL, but decided to take the plunge anyway since I was only one day into it. Apologies to those it inconvenienced, particularly those who kindly linked to me. As Thomas says on his blog – Li is a brand new blogger –…

I’m on a trip to blogland, a very beginner. I’ve been inspired by the bloggers I’ve been following – Sandy, Wendy, Uli, Kate, Caryn and more. When I learn to link to your blogs I will. Thank you, any suggestions would be appreciated. This is a blog about life and its antidote – knitting. It’s…
