I Finally Read It

It’s been sitting on my shelf for a while. I’m working on my own Beauty and the Beast retelling, so I was hesitant to risk the influence, but decided it would be better to know if my version is similar. It’s not. I avoided spoilers, so I had no ideas about this book other thanContinue reading “I Finally Read It”

To The Sleeves!

I’m losing steam, but am almost done. The sleeves are deliberately snug to help hold the sweater in place and accommodate for some stretching. So rounds are quick and the sleeves short. The body is going to need some good blocking to open up. I don’t like the look of buttons on this style, butContinue reading “To The Sleeves!”

April Roundup

They were all comics. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Wonder Woman. The Buffy comics bother me. I’m not going to read any more than I have. I’m all set with the show and the movie. Spoiler warning! They have no idea how to handle female sexuality. The queer inclusion feels like a male fantasy.Continue reading “April Roundup”

Worth the Wait

Therapy night is always hectic. I try to have a plan for dinner and time it so we can eat in the little window between appointments. Sometimes I’m successful and we eat at 5:30. Other times not so much, so we eat at 7:30. Ground beef patties with onions, garlic, and seasoning. The carrots andContinue reading “Worth the Wait”

Gardening Is Changing Me

I really didn’t want to, but it had to be done, so I might as well while it’s nice. Met a couple creepy spiders, a few big, juicy worms, a couple roly-polies, and plenty of other crawlies. Since feeling this real desire to garden, I knew I’d have to make peace with my dislike ofContinue reading “Gardening Is Changing Me”

Breakfast, Lunch, and a Couple Dinners

Making the food budget stretch is becoming more and more of a magical art form. Grocery shopping is a true horror at checkout. The years of endless dinners are wearing me out. But we need to eat well or we’re all an unstable mess. I’m pretty excited about how many meals I got out ofContinue reading “Breakfast, Lunch, and a Couple Dinners”

Another Sweater

It’s been a while since I picked up my needles. I finished a sweater that left me in a slump. It’s fine, just that post-project-yuck. Then, inspiration hit, I bought some yarn and haven’t really stopped since. I love the self-striping yarn, but I really wanted certain shades in certain places, so decided to sitContinue reading “Another Sweater”

I’m Gardening!

I heard my wonderful neighbor out mowing our lawn and so I went out to clear the grass of hazards. Since I was already out getting dirty moving rocks, I decided to try to tackle at least a small patch of the garden. It’s not much, but with the sun beating down and a beeContinue reading “I’m Gardening!”

Moody Reader

I found myself in a bit of a reading slump. I have been doing so much research, I needed a break. The book I had picked up wasn’t cutting it, so I picked up some comics. I’ve never read the Buffy ones before and felt like giving them a try. They’re not bad, but theyContinue reading “Moody Reader”

Books in March

I started the month finishing my second read of Blue Moon in the Anita Blake series. This one is a good one. Definitely a favorite comfort read. I will say, the shocks are more shocking this time around. I think it’s a sign I’m getting older. And Anita is just fantastic. I love seeing theContinue reading “Books in March”
