Getting There

      2 Comments on Getting There

Knitting is… slowly progressing today. I keep distracting myself with silly things like kids and work and games, ha ha. Naw like, kids and I made it through the day alive, work got worked, and I’ve made more progress on my knitting today than I probably have in a single day in awhile. And I intend to pick it back… Read more »

De Nada

Today was a spectacularly do-nothing day. Like, I finally unpacked the few bits still hanging out in my suitcase from a few weeks ago.  That’s seriously it, ha ha. Well, continuing HeartGold, and knitting, and a bit of Minecraft too. I’m feeling a bit better than yesterday, I think. I know that I was dragging my butt because Littlerbit tucked… Read more »

Tacos Tacos Tacos

      No Comments on Tacos Tacos Tacos

On Tuesday, I got the hankering for tacos in the explosive, tweeting TACOSTACOSTACOS (etc) sort of way. I was amused, and for once, my brain was happy to try and put that into action. Well, it helped that Z had some chicken breasts to hand, as I wanted to try my hand at crockpot chicken taco filling. So then, a… Read more »

Tired

Here, have some pictures. First things first, the girls slept the night through together. It wasn’t the most auspicious start because Littlerbit gets shrieky at being ‘abandoned’, but after initial drama, she was in bed until her sister woke up this morning. Can I saw awesome, or awesome? I’m fervently hoping that we see a repeat tonight, so fingers crossed… Read more »

What We Don’t Talk About

      No Comments on What We Don’t Talk About

One very cogent and true complaint I see of modern life is how we have this online medium to present a picture perfect life. Fights are glossed over or never mentioned, each child is more picture perfect than the last, and isn’t everything enviable? Everyone is perfectly in love with the love of their life, and everyone is shitting rainbows… Read more »

Oh Yeah, We Had a White Couch…

      No Comments on Oh Yeah, We Had a White Couch…

Once upon a time, Z and I thought it would be a good idea to by a white/cream couch. Even with having a kid. Two kids and two cats and years later, we had a less-than-white couch. So Z decided he was going to do something about it instead of resting and relaxing. Oh yeah, and he bought some new… Read more »

Competing Interests

I am currently trying to make myself sit down and knit things that were supposed to be done before or during vacation, ha ha. Alas for my knitting, my Pokémon addiction returned to its roots; I’d downloaded Pokémon Yellow for DS Virtual Console the day before we left, and dived back into it head-first. I’m so pleased with it that… Read more »

Slowly Packing it In

      No Comments on Slowly Packing it In

Today is our last day of vacation. So instead of doing anything, we’re avoiding the daystar and chilling inside. Is fine by me; even if I wanted to see the wool shop, I’m much happier not moving. My back seized up rather painfully, so I took some Nurofen Plus, and it’s starting to unkink a little. It’s still painful, but… Read more »

It Was Grayer in Person…

      No Comments on It Was Grayer in Person…

But then, that could have been because my glasses were covered in a fine spray. It wasn’t raining per se, but the wind was super-gusty, and it had water in it. I was amused when I took the picture and looked at it properly, ’cause seriously, the wet on my glasses meant that it looked loads darker. At this exact… Read more »

All in One

      No Comments on All in One

I am in a hotel room with three other people. Two of them are young and the only reason they aren’t bouncing off the walls right now is because we crammed them full of food. I’ll take it, honestly! The drive here went well, outside of Littlerbit puking twice. Apparently, she’s inherited all of mine and Z’s genes for car… Read more »
