Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.  To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas!
~ Calvin Coolidge
Merry Christmas, everyone!

I can’t believe I’ve only posted twice in the last month.  It’s a testament, I guess, to how busy things have been.  But now, student portfolios are evaluated, grades are turned in, moving is (almost) completed, and I have arrived safely at my parents home for a week of good food, too much Law & […]

Recently, D and I decided to merge our households– namely, I will be moving in to his (now almost totally renovated) house (Stella, I totally owe you pictures!). There are many things I do not like about moving, especially when I have to do it twice in one year. I don’t like packing. […]

1. I am not a quitter. But when it comes to daily/weekly/monthly/yearly commitments, and when it comes to personal challenges, I think I’ve done my fair share. And so, it is with heavy heart, but not a small amount of relief, that I admit defeat when it comes to 365. I am […]

 
Two weeks?  Really?  I can’t believe it has been two weeks since I last posted.  That should give you some idea of how much not-better things have been since my last post.  I’ve been suffering from a pretty severe case of overwhelm.  Midterm grading and conference deadlines are not helping.  That said, I think that […]

A friend of mine (a non-knitter friend and a boy at that!) asked me the other day if I had posted any actual knitting content on my blog recently. Embarassed, I said I had not (although, upon closer inspection, I totally have! Read the blog more often, Matt!) and promised […]

Like much of the east coast, it’s been deliciously cool in Philadelphia these past few days.  Unfortunately, that coolness has been accompanied by a lot of rain.  The gloom has made photography difficult, but today I gave up and took pictures anyway.  Because I had to prove to you all that I have been knitting.

So twenty-eight has started out far from ideal. First plan of action in my 29th year? To get my car inspected so that I can head out on this trip of mine with the peace (or is it piece?) of mind of knowing my car is in tip top […]

For the last three nights, I have woken at 5:30 in the morning, been awake for twenty minutes or so, and then fallen back asleep. In each of these instances of wakefulness, I have thought about the fact that it’s been over a week since I last blogged. Today, in a fit of […]

Today is dark and deliciously rainy, just the kind of day that makes me want to hole up with my little laptop and type away (this is a good thing — my chapter desperately needs someone to sit and type away on it).  So this will be brief.
Remember how Yarn Harlot wanted to show the […]
