I’ve been tagged by both Minty and Juliana for the re-circulating “weird things/random facts” meme.  So here goes:
“Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write in their blogs the 7 facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names […]

 
I love you, Mommy — even if you won’t pick up the phone

I almost had another FO for you today, but unfortunately my own procrastination got the better of me, so instead of sitting in the park and knitting today, as I would rather be spending the day, I am glued to my desk chair, finishing up some writing that is due at midnight tonight.  Whole lovely […]

1. Non-drowsy cold medicines, of all varieties, make me feel high.  I used to think it was just Day-quil, but no.  It’s all non-drowsy meds.  Whatever it is they put in there to counteract the soporific qualities makes me absolutely dizzy-loopy.  It’s a challenge to knit on size 0 needles when you feel loopy.
2.  I’ve […]

*ETA: I tried to post this this morning… now it’s more of a “Sunday Evening” post. Oh well. I’m definitely getting on that internet action tomorrow. This is worse than dial-up!*
This afternoon, I’m going to a bridal shower for my friend Anna. I offered to make cookies (good motivation to finish unpacking […]

Dear Internet I’m ’stealing’ from one/a few of my neighbors — I appreciate you, especially your freeness, your lack of password protection, and your convenience (as well as your cutesy little names — like Ethiopia [’cause I live in a largely East African neigborhood] and Trouble) . But Jeez-Louise, you’re slow! It’s taken me 36 […]

I haven’t really had coffee yet this morning, so here are some random thoughts (and some really bad pictures… sorry about that!).

1. Today is a winter day as only Philly can do it — it’s both raining and sleeting.  Yum.  I forgot about the black-grey rainy grossness that is  Philadelphia in the winter.  And I […]

A few weeks ago, I kind of unwittingly entered a contest over at Through the Loops.  Lo and behold, while in Pittsburgh I checked my e-mail to find that I had won!  This is my first contest win and it definitely came at a good time, because yesterday I went into the department for the […]

What craziness! I always forget how much I hate moving until I’m in the middle of it, at which point I swear I’ll never move again. I think my dad made some kind of joke about childbirth when I told him that… In anycase, I packed up all of my stuff:

…and hauled it […]

Greetings from P-burgh!
In my haste to leave the house, I forgot to ask — can anyone recommend a good yarn store in Pittsburgh?  It’s been a while, and I feel the need to pet some yarn.
All suggestions welcome (as well as good places to eat/things to see).
Thanks!!
