What I'm Reading Now - Eclipse →
Yes, it has enough “smoldering eyes” to rival any romance, and yet I admit it … it’s a guilty pleasure. I can’t wait to see how Bella and Edward work it all out! I’m addicted! I love diversions, and this series diverts me! Why would the vampire make a choice he knows will eventually lead to “killing” his loved one? Is he selfish? Is he moral? Is...
WHAT?! Another Potter Book???? →
Yes, more! More! MORE!!!!!!
The dog makes smells that can bend metal.
I kid you not. She crop dusts by us as we eat, a secret snigger forming on her lips, I’m sure. The kids groan and dive from the table. Dad reaches for lighter and candles automatically. “EEEWWWWW Pearl, OUT!” we all yell. But it’s too late! She has welcomed us home in the way only a dawg can. I smell you so much!

Christmas was great.
Albeit too short! We had a great, laid back day. The beach was warm and wonderful, and we had spectacular kites to fly! Santa did indeed think the kids were good this year, and they got too much stuff. The hit of the day for TheBoy was Mario Galaxy. I think princess liked her play house, and today she’s playing on her new DS. I love toys! The kites were brilliant, thank you Massi! Playing...

5 days and Counting!
It’s getting crazier by the minute! Yesday saw my only preparatory day off, in which we ended up on a wild goose chase for “the number one item” on Princez’s list. Yes, just like in Jingle All the Way. Fortunately, the hunt had a happy ending, but not without casualties … an exhorbitant “you-should-have-bought-this-earlier,stupid!” shipping rate. Ah, what...

Check out that shake! YUM and the burger? wow!
KnitML →
I love it! A standard knitting markup language! We so totally need this! Various pattern writers all have their own “special” way of writing patterns — it can sometimes be an art to figure out what you’re supposed to do. And think of the designing programs! Like that sweater? Want it in a size the pattern doesn’t have? Feed in your gauge, and have it do the math for...
The Emperor Takes over Christmas →
Wow! Amazon bought The Tales of Beedle the Bard →
The purchase price was £1,950,000, and Ms. Rowling is donating the proceeds to The Children’s Voice campaign, a charity she co-founded to help improve the lives of institutionalized children across Europe.
Sometimes I don't know why I do things...
It’s like I get set to auto pilot and I say “yes, absolutely” and then live to regret it. The good news is, the kids had a good weekend. But I will NEVER schedule that much stuff all at once again. Even though the children claimed to have had a good weekend, they were zombies on Monday. We’re just now recovering. Really. And it’s what … Wednesday? Goodness....
