and red, and orange…. It’s about the time for this Northerner to start living vicariously through the web. The Color Watch. I generally chose Asheville, NC -I visited there a few years ago when my Mom and sister were living … Continue reading
Its coming – the first official day of Autumn. Even in the 90-something degree heat, and the lack of any leaf changes, I feel it coming. I want to make chili, and have just bought a cinnamon whisk for my … Continue reading
So Tropical Storm Collin has hit Florida.
I caused a bit of uproar in my area. The rain and wind were scheduled to really pick up, at home, at about 3pm. At work – it was grey and a little damp. Just showing either how wonky weather is in Florida, or just how far I work from home.
I’m not sure which, or both?
So, I left for home a bit early yesterday, and was greeted shortly after arriving home, by lots of wind and rain.
This lasted most of last night- off and on – until about 6:30 this morning.
So I headed to work – where it is raining pretty hard and a little blowy.
I am beginning to think I attract storms. Hm…
thus far at any rate. I like cake. There – I’ve said it. I really like GOOD cake. Since the best way to get a good cake is to use the best ingredients you can, I bake. Thanks Mom for … Continue reading
Who Ami I? Well, that’s a bit loaded isn’t it? OK, let’s start at the beginning I guess. I was born in southeastern Pennsylvania one month after the Spirit of ’76 train ran though Philadelphia. My Mom and I lived … Continue reading
Hi there! How are you today?
I feel very busy – I’m probably not nearly as so as many people, but it feels like it.
I have picked up a new workout – of sorts. I am trying Freeletics. I will tell you more once I have gotten into it.
I tend to have workout ADHD. I want to try EVERYTHING! but only like twice.
So, in looking at this, being free if you don’t buy the coach feature, there are a number of different workouts, and it being an app (as well as the website) – it’s convenient, simple (my first workout was a series of three exercises. Not hard to remember.) and HARD (said first workout – do each exercise 30 times, rest a few seconds, repeat for 20 repeats, rest, 10 repeats – stretch). I feel this will be enough to keep my attention for now. Time will tell!
As I had mentioned, I am part of the Harry Potter House Cup on Ravelry, the next ‘term’ starts on May 1st. So, in trying to craft more, I have set up some plans for the new month. I may have chosen too much, but we shall see. I am also going to try scheduling out my progress, it’ll be good experience for the next time I decide to knit sweaters for all my nephews. (maybe…) So I have picked my projects, balled the yarn, swatched… and now I wait. I don’t like waiting… It’s only a few more days.
Speaking of crafty stuff – Mommy and I made some mother’s day gifts for my sisters. I don’t think they read this, but just in case, I won’t say more. Pix will be forthcoming. (Hi Chrissy! Hi Kate!)
Also coming up very soon is Hubby and I’s anniversary! Yay! We are going to take a few days “away” nearby playing tourist. It should be fun. I plan to take a bunch of photos.
So there’s where I am now. A bunch of plans, not much to show.
How about you, what are your plans for May?
Had another busy weekend – fun though! Friday I had to say “So Long” to a work friend. She is going on to something a little different. In her honor – cake! Saturday I headed to the Fresh Market in … Continue reading
So, we are getting toward the end of a new month – my yarn has arrived from finishing the toe of this month’s socks – and I ma receiving reminders to “sort” and questions on my plans for crafting in … Continue reading
This weekend was a bit busy.
Saturday morning, as always – went to Knit group – we sat, chatted and crafted. It was a great morning.
Noon, headed home for Game Day – once a month or so we have some friends descend on my house and we play games for some hours. This time, we were cleaning up around 6:30 pm. The rest of the night was TV and blah.
Then Sunday, after cleaning my house like a dervish, and hubby doing a bunch of yard stuff, we headed to Mom’s for lunch.
She had visited Milan earlier this year and shared what she learned in her cooking class.
There was also wine and Limoncello.
Yum
We headed to the grocer after – for fruit and yogurt, nothing special – then home to veg.
So yum!
Hello! It is officially spring here in Florida. Not that we notice much difference mind you. I left for work today to a 52 degree and breezy day. Wow! It was like 90 yesterday. Sunrise was glorious too. But I … Continue reading
