Can't wait for Halloween this year...
Considering that fleece is 50% off at Joann's now and that I'm having baby at the end of summer, I figured it would be reasonable to get a jump start on the kid's Halloween costumes. Today I got lion, cheetah, and tiger fur print fleece so Amy will be a lion, Kate will be a tiger, and the baby will be a cheetah. It will be SO STINKIN' CUTE! I'm ( Read more... ) -

This is me...not cleaning my house.
Or doing laundry. Or anything useful except surfing knitting patterns online. And it's stuff I'm not knitting any time soon, either. However, I did just organize my bookmarks, and had a realization that a person's bookmarks folder can say a lot about them. For example, here's my folder names:
- Healthy Crazy Stuff
- Recipes
- Class of 99

Amy's First TV Crush
Last night Amy stayed up to see her Daddy, and we watched American Idol. She had a few poignant observations, like that Jason Castro "looks like a girl," and for some reason, Chekesie "looks like an angel." Then we got to David Archuleta, the 17 year old that most teenager girls in America are aspiring to marry. The kid has a great voice, but he' ( Read more... ) -
