I finished knitting the glorious to-the-elbow mittens I was working on. Unfortunately, I don't think I made it home with both of them. I opened my knitting bag when I got home tonight and it only contained one. We had dinner at a friend's house, so I called and left a message asking him to look for it, but I'm a bit panicky. I have enough yarn ( Read more... )

I use my old page-a-day desk calendar pages as note paper. I've just now got around to Dec. 7th. This is from my Yarn Harlot Knitters Calendar ( Read more... )

Ack! I accidentally just read a bunch of spoilers for Season 2 of Torchwood. I didn't mean to, but once I'd pulled up the webpage, I couldn't stop reading. Why did I DO that?? Bad Jen!

My father had cancer, my grandmother had cancer, my son had cancer...and who knows about previous generations? Imagine how many of our great-grandparents and other ancestors died of ( Read more... )

I slathered on so much sunscreen yesterday and I still got burned on my face (yes, that part was slathered!) and on a strip on the small of my back where my shirt was coming up a bit as I bent over to weed the garden. (No, I had not put sunscreen on my back -- it didn't occur to me that any of my back was showing!) The strip on my back is very ( Read more... )

I got online this morning, and you know what? I couldn't think of anything to do online. I used to spend HOURS online, but nowadays, when I check my email, I'm like...now what? I just can't think of what else there is to do. And I know I used to spend time chatting, instant messaging, etc., but I no longer do those things. I used to spend time ( Read more... )
