I think half of this stuff was melted the the evening.


Argh! Stupid scarf!

The worst part is I kind of want to make this one too.


We spent a chunk of the night narrowing down and selecting a home owners insurance policy. That would just be a boring photo of papers, so here is a more orange, sausage-y alternative!

Today started out kinda blah. Having a cavity filling done first thing in the morning is always the most fun.
Finishing the first Dalek washcloth, however, is.

I'm pretty sure I have enough yarn left over to make another in off-white, plus I have a whole thing of green.

I'm going to make bunches of these and practice getting more even stitches. I also think I might try blocking this, just to try that. From everything I read it sounds like blocking can help even out stitches, and as you can see, there are some tight and loose areas in that stockinette bit.

This knitted up fast, once I got started, and I had a lot of fun. Maybe because most of the time I just had constant Doctor Who episodes in my mind while knitting.

I'm enjoying these quick easy projects. Poor Chris's scarf gets no love. I'll finish it eventually, I swear! I only have like another foot I need to knit on that thing...

Some days I just really enjoy wandering the skywalk at lunch.

A little over a week ago after finishing up my first knitting project (blanket), I decided to try a Dalek washcloth. Yes, I do still have a scarf in progress for Chris, but it's been so warm this winter, he doesn't really need it anyway. Besides, that thing is taking forever.

This washcloth, however, is knitting up quick! I've completed the skirt and soon it will be onto the eye-stalk and finishing border.

I'm totally going to make another one of these in green.


With an offer accepted on a house, the next step was to do a home inspection. So this Saturday Chris and I headed over to our potential new home for a thorough inspection.

We learned some things, confirmed that nothing was insanely wrong with the house, and got to take measurements of all of the rooms.

All in all it was an afternoon well spent. I'm excited and looking forward to the next phase we need to act on: closing.

Now to just wait for the bank and title companies to do their thing.

There's a dancing buffalo in front of the new Buffalo Wild Wings (and across from the My Bar & Grill) downtown.

Cause you know, what Ionia street was really missing was another bar where you can get hot wings.


The World of Warcraft desk calendar my little brother got me last year has been an endless source of amusement.

Coming home to Mass Effect 2 so there's no downtime between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.

Now I just have to finish Mass Effect....

...that they have DS9 on Netflix? Guess what I did tonight!

Monday was an intense day. We put an offer in on a house over the weekend and received a counter offer today.

Plus there was work.

I definitely was happy to hang out and do what the cat is doing when everything settled down in the evening.
