Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
– Louisa May Alcott
Happy Weekend, Everyone!
1. My uncle once always made everyone cringe with his terrible ethnic jokes.
2. Never in my life have I wanted to run for political office, jump out of an airplane, or act in a play.
3. When I was five I got my own room.
4. High school was a social disaster, an academic success, and best [...]
I’ve decided I’m going to roll with the meme theme this week. This one is borrowed from the food bloggers. (Don’t you think we need more crossover into their world? Maybe they’d serve appetizers…)
Where do you obtain the recipes you prepare?
Anywhere recipes are available – with the exception of the food section of our local [...]
I’m feeling meme-ish this week, and I haven’t done a Ten on Tuesday for a while. In keeping with my Tuesday fitness theme and my inability to stay inside the lines, how about Ten Fitness Crazes I’ve Participated In?
1. Leotards and leg warmers. Sweat optional.
2. Jazzercise. In the late ’70s. Enough said?
3. Jane Fonda.
4. The Flashdance [...]
The action-packed soccer weekend did not provide as much knitting time as I anticipated so I have no significant progress to report today. I’m sorry, I know you live for my Monday knitting updates and you probably got up early, eagerly anticipating my account of what I accomplished last week.
Not!
Anyway. Here’s an older knitting-related meme [...]
I am generally of the belief that the universe ultimately strives toward balance and fairness. For example, those conniving, backstabbing people who show up in our personal and professional lives every so often usually take a satisfying tumble over their own behavior if we just give them some time.
Even in the day to day, we often see it. [...]
The plan chez Knot Much of a Knitter is simple.
Read this:
(Apologies to Amazon for borrowing their logo thingy, but this way if you want to order it you can just click away and get there quick…)
Go here for some wine tasting and people watching …
Spend some quality time at the first soccer tournament of the season, in [...]
I’m sorry, but I could not help myself. I stumbled on this survey while surfing around for potential blog fodder, and I laughed myself silly imagining some of the responses my good friends would dream up – clearly this is meant for younger fry. And no, I DO NOT expect anyone to respond to these 50ish [...]
It being Wednesday and all, I have a food-related question for you.
Let’s say (for the sake of abject trite unoriginality) that you’re to be dropped off at the nearest desert island when your next Three Hour Tour goes awry. Don’t worry – unlike Gilligan and his friends, you’ll have cell phone service and someone will be able [...]
I’m counting down days while I pile on the miles. Thirty-two days, including four Sundays, until the half marathon. Sixty-some odd miles of pavement pounding until I’m ready.
Sundays are when we do our long runs. The longest, at least in our half marathon training plan, will be a ten-miler. The logical time to do that will [...]
