Pass the toothpicks, please. I need to prop the eyelids up this morning.
While you’re at it, please bring me some Starbucks, too. Something with extra shots of awake in it.
Sadly, A two hour nap doesn’t seem to be enough to allow a late night for me anymore (man, getting old, sucks!) and I […]

A funny thing happened to me on the way to work this morning. Well, technically, I was on my way from my car in the office lot to the building.
Picture me being chased.

I’ll wait while you regain your composure.
My buddy, Tom Turkey, seen here:

Seemed to think that it would be a fun […]

Life has been NUTS lately. Between the fund raisers, festivals, my day job, the gift shop, teaching, outside commitments, housework, laundry, cleaning up after the cats, and playoff baseball, I don’t know how I’ve managed to get in any knitting/spinning/fibery time at all, but apparently I have because I’ve got a bunch of […]
