You know, I have a darn lot of bloggy spots on the 'net. I suppose I could cross-post to all of them, but considering 75% of these blogs' ONLY readers are people who read me on OTHER blogs, that's kind of... redundant. I really like the idea of ...

Canning season, that is! I mean, of course, I did up strawberry jam months ago, but that was just a one-shot deal, out of necessity. By the time September evenings are starting to really feel like fall, I've started picking apples roadside, buyi...

...because, so far, it's not working out any better than August did. My boyfriend lost his job yesterday. Suffice to say that this is a tough blow. I absolutely cannot manage to keep this house afloat on my own piddly income, and especially not...

Yesterday morning, around 4:30 or so, my paternal grandmother passed away. I'm ok - it's nothing like when my father died a couple years ago, and I was (still am, in some ways) absolutely devastated. I loved my grandma, and she and I were pretty...

Saturday night was the latest Rock Dox gig, in Monticello. For those of you who weren't reading me the last time I went to see these guys, they're a pretty well-established local band - put out a couple albums, throw one hell of a rockstar kind o...

I *was* going to post a "what I've been up to for the past year" kind of post - started it a couple times, actually - and then I realized how pointless that really is, because the one person who's still reading me from a year ago already knows eve...

The really curious thing is that people have kept adding me for the past year, despite the fact that I haven't been updating. I'm not sure what's up with that, but... um... hi? :) It looks like a lot of my "old" readers over here are gone, but...

I'm flipping through an old (Summer 2006) issue of knit.1, and I see this. (It's easier to see in the original, but work with me here.) That's my womb! So I read the article, and sure enough: Knitting "with a twist" was on display in January a...

Hey, did you know I rock? I - or my knitted shoes, at least - made the Craftzine.com blog! No, it really doesn't take much to make my day, haha. (Although, admittedly, I'm already on a high because it's 60 degrees here, and I just got done eati...

Thanks to everyone who left comments on my last post, or favorited it, or whathaveyou. I'm genuinely (pleasantly!) surprised. I was really just declaring my own independence from fascist beauty standards... the support was a completely unexpecte...
