Queen of Rambles

We just bought a new (used) car! We won’t have it till Saturday, but I am so so so so so so so so so happy that we will have a car in time for the move. This has to be short b/c I am actually at the Saturn dealership lobby waiting for […]

Just a super quick update to let you all know that we had an awful time in New Mexico, mainly due to my sister’s incredibly chaotic lifestyle (dog catcher, towing, bailing from jail. . . the usual). Her baby is a sweet, sweet little boy, as I shall prove when I have my computer […]

My sister sent up some pictures of the baby! They aren’t the best pictures, and I’m sparing you the few of her in labor (even I didn’t want to see that!) but if you like to see little babies, here’s a little baby for you. He appears to be one gigantic baby. […]

We’re back! For what, 24 hours? Something like that? We had a great time down in San Francisco, though it was very intense and tiring! We had signed up for a compact car with the hopes of being upgraded. Boy, were we ever upgraded. We spent the weekend in a big […]

The Quilt of Eternal Loathing is ALMOST done. I just have to hand sew the binding and I will be finished. My dad doesn’t believe I’ll have it done before we leave. I will. I am going to take it to SF and sew in the car or when there’s a little down time.

No wonder I’ve been so cranky and cravey (is that a word?) all week. The evil pain of womanhood started four days early. Ugh. Why would it want to do that?
I’m getting kind of excited about our trip to SF, though I am very nervous about it too. I am excited because […]

Ugh just about sums up my feelings today. I’ve been sewing and sewing and sewing and it’s not even a project I’m enjoying. My dad wanted me to make this arrowhead photo quilt and I am, but it is so incredibly boring. I like making quilts because I like playing with fabric. […]

There are times in your life when you should listen to your mother. It doesn’t matter how old you are. It doesn’t matter how foolish your mother can be in most circumstances. It doesn’t matter how smart you think you are. It doesn’t matter how unfashionable your mother is. You should listen.
If […]

I am way too tired right now. Mike has already written about our little morning adventure, so I don’t need to expand on that. Seven in the morning is WAY too early to get up in the morning. I’m spoiled rotten.
I took a car sick pill an hour ago so Mike can drive […]

I’m not very coherent right now. Just feel like growling along until this while move is behind us. No one wants us so we are going to be homeless. I can’t say I blame them. Why rent to someone sight unseen when you can rent to someone sight seen. We have booked […]
