You know how you keep telling yourself you're going to make a change, every New Year? You're going to live healthy, handle yourself and your life better. And somehow it never quite happens, or at least not so much as you'd hope ( Read more... )

1. My stomach is at times much bigger than I think it is, and other times I don't mind it at all.
2. Tiny apple tarts is what I ate the most of on Thursday.
3. The yard had a flock of wild turkeys in it on Wednesday, bold buggers!
4. Home with Steve, crafting, (or at a yarn shop)is where I'd rather be at any given time.
5. The smell of sofrito ( Read more... )

1. What made you happy this week? Finishing my first lace shawl/stole and visiting our friends Tamara and John in MA for the first time.
2. What made you sad? I had a (non-office) coworker tell me I was a traitor to my country for voting for Obama. When asked how I could do such a thing I had to explain what civil liberties were. She honestly didn't know.

Do you believe people are basically good?
I believe that people are basically decent , with a significant qualifier of self-centric, and that we can be easily corrupted by fear, need or abuse. To explain, I think that most people don't wake up wanting to hurt someone, they'll go about their days being basically decent to each other. However, I think ( Read more... )

I have a secret… I’m afraid of the dentist. Seriously, truly - afraid. I’ve not taken the best care of my teeth in the past, and couple that with a resistance to pain medication I’ve avoided the dentist for more years (keep going, and going) than I care to recount in public.

 I am once again popping my head up above the water, and I find that now that I have LJ added back into my tabs that I missed it more than I thought I did! I'm trying to go back and read my Friends page posts for at least the last couple of weeks, but no way will I be have the stamina to read back over the last few months. I hope that anyone who's ( Read more... )

I do try to keep my personal politics off the blog these days, as really, I'm not going to change your mind and you're not going to change mine. Hell, I didn't even have a "politics" tag until just now! But sometimes I just have to share.

I wonder if people really listen to themselves sometimes. You can be damned sure if I was in the public ( Read more... )

I’m not dead, just floating… Points to whomever can tell me who sings that. So yes, I am still alive, and I’ve made a point to myself that I will log into Live Journal more and I will indeed post. Once a week at least. I don’t journal for the comments, or the people, I journal to keep track of my life, the things that I thought good enough to ( Read more... )

I took my time, I did it in small batches and planned it all out meticulously. I am as ready as I'm going to get. Tomorrow I vend for the second time ever, at the Chancellor's Sheep & Wool Showcase. I had so much fun last year that I couldn't wait to do it again, so here I am. I am more excited than I can properly express. :)

I have a new product, ( Read more... )
