The Week September 11-17

September 11, 2017 ~ madgeface ~ 1 Comment

Last week: Order fromĀ Campus Cookies for Ethan for his birthday Thursday. Eat more of Ky's cake to celebrate in Ethan's absence. Our first birthday apart and his 18th. The cookies & balloons were a grand success - Ethan, his roommate and the guys on his hall feasted. I think it was a pretty good birthday … Continue reading The Week September 11-17

Last week: Decide what's next forĀ Aranami/Imanara. The choices: Work the final row (different from regular rows) in the bright colored yarn. The final stripe would be 1/2 a row taller than all the other stripes. Work another stripe of the dull colored yarn, with the final row being part of the stripe. All stripes would … Continue reading The Week September 4-10

Last week: Take Henry to load his locker on Tuesday, get him ready for the 1st day of school Thursday. The first day of school went swimmingly. Help Ethan pack and move him in to JMU on Wednesday.

Last week: Start chewing soft food. I ate Triscuits, my current food obsession, so I'm pretty much back to all-normal food. Hurray! Get Ethan, middle son, ready to go to his first year of college 8/23. He's not ready, physically packing-wise or mentally. We should have let him take a gap year - he's not … Continue reading The Week August 21-27

Last week: Saturday morning I have an appointment to have a cracked tooth pulled and an implant started. This is my first extraction since having my wisdom teeth out years ago and I'm a little nervous, but I'm looking forward to not having a tooth that complains about cool breezes, much less hot or cold … Continue reading The Week August 14-20

Spinning: carry on. I finished spinning and finishing (washing & whacking) all the in-progress stuff, counted yardage and weighed … Continue reading The Week August 7-13

The Week July 31-August 6

Last week: Carry on with Aranami. Done. I even tried doing the last row pattern, which is short rows, on one wedge to make sure it will work with the stripes I'm doing. I'm either on the next to last row or I've got this row + 5 more to do - I haven't decided … Continue reading The Week July 31-August 6
