Four times the population of my hometown

See this? That’s where I was last night. At a free concert by David Byrne in Prospect Park with 27,000 other people who either really like David Byrne or really like free. I’ve been going to Celebrate Brooklyn concerts for years, and I have never seen them close the gates because the venue was full.
Fortunately, [...]

Friends ain’t nothin’ but a number.

A lot of people from my college and high school are finally making their way to Facebook, and it’s wonderful to catch up with them. Lately there has also been an explosion of knitters over on Facebook. People I know from Ravelry and Plurk, famous knitters, old friends, they’re all popping up over there. So [...]

Learn something new every day

Unless you’re a baby, and then it’s more like “Learn something new every few minutes or so.” Things Samang learned while I was hanging out with her yesterday:
1. Where her nose and ears are. I was pointing out facial features on a monkey doll she has, and said “Here’s the monkey’s ear.” J would then [...]

We’ll keep her

Samang has become quite the little clean machine. Yesterday when she was at my house, she spilled juice down her front by accident, then went over to the tea towels hanging off the front of the oven, pulled one off, and mopped herself up! And when I jokingly said “What about your mouth?” she wiped [...]

Perspective

When the girls were at my house last weekend, I introduced them to Wii Fit. Now, if you have Wii Fit you know that as soon as you start, it checks your BMI, your balance, your age, and from all that information comes up with your “Wii Fit Age.” Depending on the time of day [...]

Isn’t that what godmothers are for?

I just went out on my lunch hour and bought my godchild fun plastic toys for her birthday, which is this weekend. Little People farm and pirates (in my head, sometimes the pirates decide they want to come to the farm to mess with the animals), and a VTech baby guitar so she can play [...]

Finished by the skin of my teeth

Last night I learned something. Sea Silk that has been dyed red? Bleeds red when you wash it. After three soaks and a final bath with a bit of white vinegar, I think I’ve stopped the bleeding. I wrote on the little note that accompanied the shawlette that it might need another vinegar bath and [...]

Dylan would be proud.

Oldest: One day, I’m going to get a pimped out camera. Maybe for my 18th birthday.
Julie: I didn’t get one ’till I turned 30.
Oldest:  Yeah, but times are changing.

Old

The Oldest was born when I was a sophomore in high school. Today is her first day as a sophomore in high school.
The Youngest starts seventh grade on Monday. When her father and I started dating, she was just going into second grade.
Samang turns three months old on Saturday. The entire summer has gone by [...]

Recipe for a productive Labor Day

- Rise and clean. Make Kim and Aggie proud by cleaning the grease off of the stove top.
- Photograph stuff gotten in a yarn swap. Photograph yarn you bought last week. Don’t upload, just photograph.
- Take shower.
- Take subway in to East Village.
- Get Oldest’s cartilage pierced at Andromeda, which is sort of sketchy, but [...]
