… of which I have very little. Except when it is externally imposed by a large body of water.
Rockin’ Sock Club ‘08 is in full force.
This is my first year participating and I’m so excited! BUT my package is sitting State-side, at my mom’s house. Last night we spent about 15 minutes chatting about exactly [...]

So last night… THURSDAY NIGHT(!)… I was only on row 25 of 54! OH MY! Consequently, I devoted the entire evening to knitting and finished around 1 am (CET). I think I’d do well not to let this happen next week as work is ramping up and I really don’t want to get [...]

First day at work at the University. Oh, boy was it nice! Great to see my new/old colleagues. Tasty lunch with some of the grad students. Love the new digs (biiiiiig window!). The building is a little… institutional. A little cold maybe. A little sterile, ok. But I don’t know, it just felt very comfortable [...]

A good afternoon… er… good morning… er… a “jet-lagged” hello from Stockholm! I’ve just arrived, so there’s not much to report. On the minus side: the past week has been a bit of a whirl wind preparing to leave, so this space was relegated to the end of the queue. But on the plus side: [...]

We interrupt this regularly scheduled study session to bring you this breaking news.
Madison, WI – 7:32 pm CST
One WiscJennyAnn had a minor meltdown this evening. She was attempting to locate a copy of “The Truly Disadvantaged” by one William Julius Wilson. “I’m very lucky that I purchased this book on a whim a few months [...]

I so wanted to do a “first year of craft” recap for the new year, but it is going to have to wait until after the Exam on the 8th. I’m starting to lose steam, study-wise (right on time, I guess). But it’s crunchtime: coffee, quick naps atop WIPs (watch those DPNs!) and a little [...]
