A Little of Everything – But Nothing of Consequence

Today is supposed to be a day off according to the rules of Blog 365.  If you recall my recent post about my Meyers-Briggs type, you’ll also recall that rules are really just guidelines for persons of my ilk. 
I have nothing pressing to say, but I’ll say things anyway.  It’s what I do.
First, let’s talk [...]

100 Things Thursdays – The List Continues

I have no idea how it can be Thursday again.  None.  But it is, and that means I’m going to continue with my “100 Things About Me” list I so stupidly ambitiously started last week. 
17.  I would wear jeans every day if I could.
18.  I have gone back and forth between long and short hair [...]

WT?? Wednesdays – In Which It All Becomes Clear

 
Sometimes we have opportunities that wind up shining a big old spotlight on those dim recesses we try not to think about too much.
I recently took a Meyers-Briggs personality type inventory for professional reasons.  The testing itself was painless and rather bland - I answered a bunch of “fill in the bubble” questions about various preferences and [...]

Ten Thankful Things on Tuesday

Ha!  I remembered it’s Tuesday, AND I remembered this little day-o-the-week gem from Cookie last week.   Since I’m already committed to 100 Things About Me on Thursdays, I need to distinguish my lists somehow.  So I think today I’ll tell you about ten things I’m thankful for.  It might help with my cranky mood.
1.  My [...]

One Cankle Cozy, Complete

Whoa – what’s wrong with this picture??  No, you’re not mistaken – that’s SUNLIGHT.  In a photo I TOOK. 
I finished the first cable footie Sunday morning.  I frogged what I had started earlier in the week and cast on again Saturday – I wasn’t happy with the wonky cast on edge on the initial effort, [...]

Mildly Horrifying, But Strangely Accurate?

You Belong in 1983

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You’re colorful at night – and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

OK, I saw this at Angie’s and caved.   Not only did I take the quiz, but I laughed so hard at the result that I had to post [...]

I’m Talking, and I Can’t Shut Up!

100 posts, and I haven’t run out of things to say.
Kinda scary.
I don’t have anything Profound to say today.  As if I ever do. 
As a bit of a retrospective (think Seinfeld’s 100th Episode where we got to see all the outtakes) I have prepared these:
 
Is this a knitting blog or a cooking blog?  Am I a knitter [...]

FAQ Fridays: An Interview, With Rants

 
 [Ed. - In anticipation of my 100th post, which should happen tomorrow, today I reflect upon my first 99 days of blogging.  With some random ranting thrown in.] 
Do you have a name, already?
Yes, and it’s been used in the comments and in others’ blogs enough that you have probably put two and two together.  But it’s Nora.  Not to [...]

100 Things Thursdays

Yep, Cookie, it’s Thursday.  I’m starting my own day-of-the-week thingy.  Whenever I look at a new blog and someone has one of those “100 Things About Me” lists, I can’t resist reading it.  Whenever I think about doing a list myself, though, 100 things seems pretty daunting.  I’m verbose, obviously, but I’m not sure I’m [...]

Today is Wednesday, or, The Village Idiot Tries Again

We all know what Wednesday means, don’t we??
Seriously, I wanted to do the 10 Things Tuesday today because I thought it was such a cute bloggy idea, but I was gently reminded that perhaps I might confuse people who are prone to forget what day of the week it is.  Being one of those sorts myself, I rethought [...]
