day of rest
So, Tuesday is generally my day of rest, it's my only day off really, and being a mom that means that I don't work at the shop or at school, just at home. However, I had to get up and take Ru to swim practice this morning at 7:30, so I came home and took a nap while she swam. We puttered around later and did a little bit of shopping and got lunch ( Read more... ) -
reflective
It's interesting being done with our holiday when others are just starting. We had a lazy day - Ru swam this morning, Candy Cane relays - much fun for the whole team. We took her to brunch and then to the mall, since she is shopping for the items that she didn't get as gifts. It was pretty busy and the anxiety level was awfully high out there. ( Read more... ) -
Mmmmmmm leftovers
The best part of a holiday is that there are leftovers if you plan it right. Leftover turkey, stuffing, Brussels sprouts, fruit salad, roasted parsnips, and for them what likes it, roast leg of lamb ( Read more... ) -

We celebrate Yule, and the good news is that we celebrate on the 22nd, so we get to watch the crazy christmas rush for three days after we are done! The bad news is I have three less knitting days before gifts are due ( Read more... ) -

shopping is different from buying
Today was my day off, Ruth had no school, Kev had no school and so Sandi, Ruth, Kev and I went to Santana Row to go shopping. We went with the express purpose of shopping but not buying. We wandered through some awesome shops, Z Gallery is a great place to get decorating ideas, we looked into a bunch of clothing shops, Ruth is a perfect size for ( Read more... ) -
Blue Moon Day
So, I'm watching Ellie and I hear knocking at the back door. I open and find our handsome and charming UPS driver, Jean Marie, with SEVEN large boxes. I check for a return address and YEP! it's from Blue Moon Fiber Arts! Seven boxes of rapturous color, some so lovely it brought tears to our eyes. Of course there was the lightweight Socks That ( Read more... ) -
Tales from Booty Camp
I'm happily endorphin rushing from my second episode of Booty Camp! Thanks, Nathania, for inviting me! I'm loving it, and I'm hurting as muscles I haven't talked to in ages are complaining about suddenly being asked to work. Robin rocks as an instructor! I'm getting my booty in in shape and feeling better about me. I love working out in a ( Read more... ) -

briefly blond
So I did my hair again. I bleached the hell out of my hair so I was blond for a few horrible hours. I look like crap with blond hair. Then on went the "Vampire Red" - I don't know if it's really what I'd call Vampire Red, but it's red again and a little crazy. I'll keep it this way at least until Samhain, then it'll be back to my normal basic ( Read more... )
