blogger finally consents to let you meet the fam

Blogger is pretty testy these days in it’s desire to upload photos but still wouldn’t let me edit my prior post to include these so a new post:
Presenting the fam at 11 weeks, it’s the latest photos we have:
Baby A:

My predictions for Baby A – Very hyper, a male, and will look like hubby [...]

knitting and narcolepsy

If I wasn’t preggers, I would be on the phone scheduling an evaluation for narcolepsy. I fell asleep at Deluca’s WHILE eating my meal a few weeks back and I take daily naps between clients on the therapy couch waking up in pools of drool. So this photo of hubby’s second sock has many hours [...]

my three most important WIPS to date

For any non-knitters who read this post (are there any?? and if so, pick up some needles people – haven’t you been kissed by the fiber bug yet?), the term WIP stands for Work in Progress – many knitters have a few of these going and may even have a sidebar commentary of what’s on [...]

who’s that hot chick in the hot pink sweater?????

These were just a few comments from the dogs in the neighborhood as Ms. Maslow Star Garcia strutted her new pre-blocked hot pink sweater in 90 degree heat:
“Hey pretty mama!!!!! You shake that monkey butt money maker!”
-Clint, Black Lab

dia de los muertos

Many of you know about my passion for FridaKahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican art and culture (not to mention a mother and grandmother in-law who make THE best authentic Mexican food – and I mean AUTHENTIC). To this day, one of the highlights of my life in Arizona was seeing Frida’s art exhibit at the [...]

new specs

Yesterday Blogger was being uncooperative with my non-knitting material and photos to distract you from the fact that knitting material is sparse these days.
I picked up my new specs yesterday – I wear glasses/contacts 50/50 but each year my prescription continually disintegrates (have been wearing glasses since age 3). My last pair were labeled “the [...]

minimal knitting but other photos may distract you from realizing it

That’s OK Maslow, no need to get up to model the progress pic of your sweater. And that’s ok that you plot my death by not moving out of the way on my way down the stairs with a heaping hot cup of java, an empty bowl of Applejacks with leftover milk, and a handful [...]

puttering around

No stitches knit until last night – almost a week of no knitting. But how could I resist this request from hubby: “Is it possible to knit a cover for my putter? I lost my last one and it was some cheap plastic thing that came with it.” This project was just what I needed. [...]
