I am so tired today. I only slept about 3-4 hours last night. Ephram has been occasionally waking up in the middle night, telling us he is hungry. I don't want to get in the habit of giving him midnight snacks, but after 2 hours of waiting for him to go back to sleep, I relented. He ate two big handfuls of Cheerios and 5 mini waffles at 4am and ( Read more... )

I'm now over 30 weeks pregnant. I can't believe it. Somehow, hitting 30 weeks made me feel like the end of this pregnancy is so much closer. In a flurry of anxiety, I made Marty put together the bassinet and the baby bouncer last night. I am sure I will laugh at the fact that I said this later, but, I hope I don't go early this time around. I ( Read more... )

Never buy a Volkswagen. ok, guys? Seriously. I wish someone had given me that advice 6 years ago. It is constantly breaking and in need of expensive repairs. I am planning on donating it to charity very soon and buying a new car. I hate to think of having a car payment again, but a car payment isn't as annoying as this evil car ( Read more... )

My thumb swelling finally subsided yesterday. It feels a lot better (altho the way it looks is a whole other story). I haven't gotten a whole lot of knitting done. I cast on the Mabel dress the other day and it is irritating me immensely. I have never knit anything on a size 2 needle. The tension looks all uneven all over the garment. I'm not ( Read more... )

I am so done with living in an apartment. We have the most OBNOXIOUS people living above us. I can't take it anymore. I don't dare go out on our porch anymore, because they refuse to use an ashtray and flick their cigarettes onto the floor. We inevitably end up with ashes on our heads when we're out there. You would think that the fact that I ( Read more... )

I've been working on the Toddle Scarf from Knitty. I was thrilled with how it was turning out until I realized that one ball of yarn is not even close to being enough. Not even close. I have 15 inches of scarf right now and the finished scarf measures 27 inches. I'm super irritated because the pattern says it only requires ONE. I just emailed ( Read more... )
