I am a Reading Fiend!

  You can always tell what kind of sick I am based on what I spend my sick days doing: super sick (flu, fever, achy, etc.)=veg on couch all day alternating between sleep and watching movies barely sick (all I needed was a bit of a sniffle as an excuse to take a personal day)=sew, sew, [...]

From the Mad House

  Well, Bill has acclimated. Mei Mei has not. She can’t stand him. I was a little annoyed with all her hissing at first–I mean, she wasn’t even giving Bill a chance, but then I saw Bill chase her around the house a few times. Um, okay Mei Mei, you have my permission to be a [...]

Day Two

  Just a quick update. Our kitty guest is currently entrenched in the spare room, which is an improvement since he first got here. His mommy dropped him off around 7 this evening. I had just made dinner so we all sat around the dining room table eating and chatting. After dinner, we started looking around [...]

OH, and a Craft Update

  I forgot to mention all my recent craftiness. I’m spending more time reading and crocheting than costuming these days. I’m still trying to spend some time sewing, but it has certainly taken a back seat. Part of the problem is the mess in my sewing room, and the sort of being in between sewing rooms [...]

Let’s Try Posting For a Change

  I really need to get back into the swing of posting on a regulary basis again. So, things aren’t so great right now.  I came down with a really weird sort of cold this week.  I bravely fought it off for a few days and then took Thursday and Friday off of work.  I feel [...]

Hey! Look at me! I’m posting!

  Just sort of a drive by posting, but at least it is something.  I had a few things to mention. My cats are driving me nuts at the moment.  They are stalking each other, which means lots of scampering and stuff flying in all directions followed by growling and hissing.  Don’t worry, in about twenty [...]

My Harry Potter saga

  So, now that I’m teaching middle school, I decided that I need to play catch up with my YA (Young Adult) lit. reading.  I figured I’d start with the big one…Harry Potter.  I’d read the first book as part of a YA lit course I took as part of my MA program and had already [...]

Bah! Sheep crossing ahead

  So, I finally caved in a joined Facebook.  I know.  Took me long enough.  I will say this…not only are a lot more of my aquaintances on FB, but it is also much more addictive than Myspace.  I’m still not entirely pleased with some of the lack of user friendliness, but I’m sure I’ll get [...]

The Hermit Speaks

  Yes, I’m alive.  Yes, I’m busy.  Jury is still out on whether or not I’ll survive this election season.  Let’s just say that in a mud-slinging war, it’s the one in the middle that gets hit the most. The news: I’ve been reading A LOT. I went to the NKOTB concert.  Fun.  And funny.  Two [...]
