Yep! I’m back in the Midwest. In this post, I detail my current projects and what I’ve been cooking lately.

I’m getting ready to close out one chapter of my life and begin another. It’s a scary proposition. I’ve been here nearly 6 years and have settled in. The consulting firm where I work is undergoing a big transition that means a complete restructure. Everything is A-OK. I’m stepping away from the company for the [...]

I recently heard from a friend who was surprised to learn about the place knitting has taken in my life. This took me aback a bit. Is knitting truly out of character for the person she knew 10 years ago? I’ve spent a lot of my life being painfully shy and horribly insecure. I’ve occasionally [...]

It is the first week of April and 3 of my four resolutions are intact. Care to guess which one is a distant memory? Of course, the one about no new yarn purchases. I lasted a few months and then… the sales got the better of me. What’s still standing? Get Rid of Cable – [...]

Originally he had suggested Subway, thinking that my Fast Food embargo was about eating healthier. It is about that… partially. [...]

In the weeks leading to the New Year, I spent a lot of time thinking about changes I want to make. I decided that it was time to do something about my vices. Get Rid of Cable I watch WAY too much TV and I will save well over $100/month by switching to an internet [...]
