Z got the tree(s) out, and Littler and I got to work decorating it. We’re using one of our smaller tress because we wanted to put it on the table (as pictured), so we’ve put way too many decorations on it. Us so-called adults will sort it out later. Probably. <3  

One of the things I knew Miss Poison would miss about the old couch was being able to hide her head. I don’t know why she finds that especially comfortable, but as you can see, it seems to put a smile on her face (though she’s usually tucked further under the pillow). I’m just happy that we accidentally recreated that… Read more »

I spotted this van outside of the surgery, and about died laughing. The acronym stands for ‘All About Health’, but seeing something shouting AAH at me outside a doctor’s office is just. Well, see subject line. Ded. xD And why, you might ask, was I out to see this? It was Littler’s nativity production. It was blessedly short, for both… Read more »

Smaller excitedly told me when she got home from school that she had a party hat. Said party hat ended up being a coloured triangle of paper, but I clipped it into my hair nonetheless and asked her what she thought. She was pleased, so I’m pleased. Smalls ran in and tried to take it out of my hair for… Read more »

I spent today pretty much blobbing out to the eXtreme. I always get hopeful that I won’t be super wiped from doing a weekend event, but obviously, wrong on that count again. *chuckles* I mean, the thing I spent most of the day doing was trying to figure out where my cable needle ended up; after several hours and one… Read more »

Is I, Socky, rawr rawr rawr! Which is to say, I’ve turned the heel and started down the foot of the sock. It’s going faster than I thought it would, but that’s probably because I’m not doing poppies at the same time, and because having something to do (ie, the travelling cables) makes it feel like it’s going faster. Having… Read more »

And, alas, it was not terribly successful. That was pretty universal across everyone who was there, for which the organiser apologised. We were supposed to be last weekend, but apparently, got bumped after the date was already published in various locales. I’m still probably going to do the one at the end of January, but we’ll see when that time… Read more »

One thing that is going around here is the painting of rocks, and then leaving them for people to find. The girls ‘found’ this one earlier today, and now have to find somewhere else in the village to stash it. It made it to the grocery store with us, but as Z pointed out to the kids — it’s a… Read more »

Okay, it’s totally a bit sad, but I’m super thrilled that I have now had -a- sale this month. Which means that I needed to make another of the item to relist, hence the stuff out on the desk with all the other stuff. I even took a fresh batch of photos so that the listing will have yanno, photos… Read more »

And no, not the cat — Poison continues to exist, in spite of our severe betrayal in getting rid of the old couch. The new one is in now, and she’s trying to ignore its existence (which is pretty impressive, because it’s obscenely long). I’m sure that she’ll go check it out on her own terms,b ut she’s not ready… Read more »
