365. I’m feeling a bit verclempt today.

Here it is. The end of 2008. I have successfully posted 365 days in a row. Who knew it could be done? Not me. I was my biggest doubter. I joined on a whim and did not have any confidence that it may end in success.
A funny thing happened along the way. Every single day [...]

Do you resolve

I have almost finished the 2 knitting gifts that will be given out New Year’s Eve (that’s tomorrow, not much more knitting time). Fetchings are done but for the thumbs. That will take 10 minutes. (pray) and I’m working on the hat. I have done squat all day long. I slept late, played with some [...]

Shrooms and shopping

I made another batch of stuffed mushrooms just for you. Help yourself. There’s plenty more you’d better snatch one quickly, they go fast. Recipe at end of post! They would make great New Year’s Eve munchies. OR. Perhaps just Monday night eats. Or Tuesday, you get the drift.
Bethany and I took a little shopping trip [...]

4 more posts until the end of 2008

When I read/hear  an interesting article that gets me to thinking, I always have this thought: what would the blog readers think (DO). WWBRD
The topic is cilantro. Love it v. hate it.
I am on the hate side. I always thought that people were just being weird when they said they did not like it (Before [...]

Because it’s the giving that feels the best

So, I ask you this…what was the most favorite thing that you GAVE this Christmas?
(Short post) (You can answer short) (Or not)
(having Christmas number 2)

hot chocolate, movies, knitting, snoozy kitties and a turkey dinner. That is what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown

A turkey is roasting in the oven, making the house smell heavenly, the kitties are snoozing comfortably nearby and the men of the family are having a good time having a Wii bowling tournament, Bethany is off “saving lives” so I thought I’d spend a bit of Christmas time with you.
It’s been such a great, [...]

Have yourself a Merry little..

We had our Christmas tonight because Bethany is working tomorrow all day and night. Christmas ham from Harrington’s in Vermont (it was delish), Christmas wine, my favorite [...]

Lost and found, mittens and a knitalong (some frosting too)

I got a wonderful package from Norma yesterday. I told her I was going to put it under the tree and open it on Christmas morning but she said to OPEN IT. So I did. In it was a wonderful spa package complete with a special loofah sponge that I cannot wait to use. And [...]

This plant could use a bit more salt and pepper, if you don’t mind

I’m sitting here watching Christmas with the Kranks for the umpteenth time (I can’t help it, I love that movie!), knitting a bit on my Christmas knitting (almost done the first Fetching. Gotta love that pattern. Beautiful AND easy) and feeling quite snoozy. I can see that I will be starting out my vacation by [...]
