Better living through modern chemistry

Posted in *sigh*, chaosgirl, dissertation, family, send more chocolate, yarny stuff on March 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

In case you all hadn’t noticed I’ve not posted here in a while.  There still isn’t anything really fun and interesting to post about. For those of you keeping score:
Dad
Hospice brought out a hospital bed last week as he is now too weak to move around much even with the walker. Yesterday he got a [...]

Artsy and crafty

Posted in chaosgirl, house on October 14, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Normally I’m not inclined to do drawing/painting sorts of projects but to save some money and some space in our fairly small house I had a plan to make ChaosGirl a play kitchen.  I bought a small tablecloth and then never did anything with it.  I’m taking a mental health/cleaning/cooking day today and while I [...]

There a bit big but it’s not like she’s not going to just keep growing.

Still here

Really.
I have pushed through a bit at least and am making some progress on the dissertation.  Working on it leaves me pretty much “written out” so I’ve not had much enthusiasm for blogging.
There has been knitting though.  I’m making a smaller sized pair of cabled socks for Mittens for Akkol.  Here you see sock #1 [...]

Casting call

Posted in chaosgirl on June 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

The splint has been replaced with a bright pink cast. Not waterproof unfortunately so we have 4 to 6 weeks of summer with no swimming or splashing. She’s doing pretty well and has only tagged DH in the head with once – so far.

Happy Summer Solstice?

Posted in chaosgirl on June 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »

It’s been an interesting time in our little neck of the northern hemisphere. Fortunately we have managed to avoid the massive flooding. The smallish flooding in the basement has been rebuffed by a shop vac and a can of Dry Loc. All in all it could be a lot worse.
So I’m sitting in my [...]

Vocabulary

Posted in *sigh*, chaosgirl on June 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So I pick ChaosGirl up from daycare yesterday and since it’s now OMGSUMMER I check to see if there is anything weather-appropriate in her bin where we are supposed to keep a change of clothes or two. What is in the bin = a pair of glover, a pair of mittens, a pair of socks, [...]

Stuff and things

I mentioned a while back that we liked the cellular shades so much that we got some for the dining room too. I finally found a scarf for the curtain rod and got it up. This is one of my contributions for the Air Element of Project Spectrum 3 (even though it doesn’t officially [...]

Totlol

TotLOL: It’s kids-only YouTube. YouTube videos added and screened by parents. I love that there are classic Sesame Street and Muppets clips on YouTube but I really don’t like the chances you take with the posted comments and related videos. A monitored kid-friendly version makes it a lot easier to find and [...]

Going to school

Posted in chaosgirl on May 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »

We call ChaosGirl’s daycare center “school.”  It’s just a habit we fell into and since she’s going to be going to school in some form or another for the next umpteen years it’s not a bad habit.
She gets 2 weeks of “vacation” from “school” each year that we can take and only pay half the [...]
