Snow, Snow, Snow...
I've mentioned I love snow, Right? Well today it started snowing about 20 minutes before I left for work. We had just over a 1/4 inch by the time I got to work. It's still dumping. Big, fluffy flakes. I just hope it doesn't turn to freezing rain like the weather man threatens. It's so pretty! No pictures, our camera is in route to our house, so we ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving...
So, we stayed in WW this weekend and I made Thanksgiving. The turkey was a flop. It took 4 hours to cook even though everything I read said it should be done in 2 - 3. And it was still red around the bones. But it looks like the turkey stock came out great. We've decided all following Thanksgivings will be vegetarian. Cooking meat just doesn't work ( Read more... ) -
Urgh. Some people are just like that...
I just told a lady to wash and block her swatch because she was having such trouble meeting gauge. I said that since it's a cashmere/wool blend, it will more than likely bloom A LOT after washing, even if all she does is soak in wool wash for half an hour them lay flat to dry. Cashmere likes to spread out once you wash & relax the yarn. This leads ( Read more... ) -
Tea... Glorious Tea...
With the drastically cold weather that's blown in, my winter love affair with tea has begun once again. And those silly ladies over at knittyboard have convinced me I need to try loose teas. Of course, I won't even think about the multitude of bagged teas that are in my cabinet (Jenny, do you like white or green tea? I have some unopened boxes ( Read more... ) -
*whispers* I think fall may actually be here...
I saw my first orange tree with falling leaves today. For a small moment, I felt time stop, and felt the season *chink* as time shifted again. I took a deep breath and realized this will be my last fall in ww. We are actually going to move. And as hard as I've been pushing for it, I am going to miss it. It seems so very safe here. So easy to stay ( Read more... ) -
*sigh*
Fall is coming to WW. I loooooooove fall here. It's my favorite season. In other places, I love spring or summer, but here, it's fall. I love pulling out my warmer clothes, wearing jackets, playing in the rain. I love how fresh everything smells. I love airing out the house after a hot and sweaty summer. I love getting to be active outside without ( Read more... ) -

Put my resume up on Monster.com. Got a reply just hours later from someone wanting me to sell life insurance. Granted, the first year is a guaranteed income of 40 grand, after that there's no guarantee of income. That makes me nervous. I'll probably email back and ask a few questions. But it's not something I'm planning on persuing. But it is nice ( Read more... ) -

I wish I had a job I was excited about. Or at least one that challenged me. I can sell stuff when I'm half asleep. I find no satisfaction in it. Not to mention, M as a boss makes life Stressful. Her temper is very short and she expects me to be willing to do her every whim. Also, time off is not in her vocabulary. I gave her about a month's notice ( Read more... ) -
I want a new job...
So... Michelle is getting harder & harder to deal with. Her temper is... short. Some days she's fantastic but others, I just want to escape. I have a lot of things I need to go over with her before she leaves for her vacation, but I'm scared to approach her with them today after the way she just acted on the phone. We have a gov investigator doing ( Read more... )
