It’s Janet’s Garden Wrap Up time! I’m going to share the story of how this blanket got its name, and then share some of your finished gardens. At the end there will even be a chance to win all the yarn needed to make next year’s blanket CAL!
story
Not exactly part of my schedule…
This is what I begun to type at 8pm last night with the intention of putting together a quick Wednesday Night Round Up for you: Did you watch House? I did for a bit. I remember the one with the blogger who was blogging from her hospital bed. I thought she was a bit nuts. Yet here I am, in my hospital bed, blogging. No worries, it just seems that my infection from a few months ago has come back, … Read more
Still an enigma
That’s right, I’m still an enigma. A little while ago I told you about how I am a medical enigma right now. At that point, I was drinking barium and waiting to go to my CT scan. Eventually the time came, and off I went to my appointment. Due to the time sensitive nature of when you drink the barium versus when the CT happens, these appointments tend to be on time. So I got there my requisite 15 minutes … Read more
Enigma
Yep, that’s me, I’m an enigma. A medical enigma. I woke up on Monday morning with a little bit of pain. But I went about my Monday as I usually do, I went to the market, unloaded the groceries, and then to work. But the pain didn’t go away. It got worse. And nothing I could do made it any better. Now thankfully I had already edited the post with the pattern I wanted to share with you. So I … Read more
Make It Work
Long before a certain famous man that I am quite fond of made that phase his own, I used to say that my name was actually “Jessie Make It Work” or “Jessie Fix It.” Some things never change. Then again… Life is never what you expect. *for those of you wondering what the point of this post is: I am having one of those life moments when it is time to charge forward or pack it in, and of course … Read more
Marital bliss
This evening I am going to share a story with you. It’s something that happened a few weeks ago. Doug tends to go to bed before me. One, two, sometimes three hours before me. He also gets up before me. When it’s only around an hour, I sometimes find him still reading his library book when I head to bed. Other nights he is already asleep by the time I climb into bed. Most of these nights he is sleeping … Read more
Well, don’t I feel silly
So, I think it says a lot about how highly I think of the kindness and love my daughters possess that I was able to believe that they emptied and loaded the dishwasher last night. Or maybe it was the virus… Anyway, as it turns out, Doug came home before his Friday night job. His car was acting up, so he dropped it at the mechanic on the corner, and walked home to get my car for the evening. When … Read more
Sunday
Ten years ago from Sunday (tomorrow). It was a Tuesday morning. I woke up in my Queens apartment early feeling a bit…off. I got ready for work – Costume Shop Manager for the theater department at Adelphi University in Long Island, just a couple miles east of Queens. I dressed in all black, and wore dark make-up that morning; it matched how I was feeling. As I was leaving I grabbed a stuffed monkey my father had given me a … Read more
