Happy Independence Day!
In honor of the 233rd birthday of the grand ole US of A, I am doing nothing patriotic. Because Snackpants is working and I have nowhere to go today! However, I did hit the grocery store earlier today to pick up a little American dessert:
Yellow cake, chocolate frosting, red, white and blue sprinkles… the only thing I cannot explain is the random bright pink icing in the middle. Regardless, it should be yummy after our dinner! Now I just have to figure out what we are eating…
To help escape my boredom while I watch reruns of Bones on the DVR, I am knitting a preemie baby blanket. I have a tour of the NICU coming up on Tuesday and have made some teeny tiny hats to see if the hospital will take donations, and am now working on a blanket! It’s not my first attempt at a blanket, but will be my first complete project once it’s done. It’s done in a basket weave, which looks far more complex than it actually is:
With any luck, it will be done by Tuesday so I can take it with me. Woo!
Happy 4th of July! Have fun and try not blow your fingers off with fireworks, okay??

What does BotCon have to do with me?!?
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
It would appear that since the whole BotCon debacle surrounding Tom Croom and Joey Snackpants has exploded on the internetz, this site has seen a spike in activity (prompted by this article on YouBentMyWookie.com). And when you don’t have many readers to begin with, the change is noticeable! What I don’t understand is… why? Why
Snug as a Kindle in a Sleeve

Several months ago, despite my telling him NOT to get me anything else for my birthday, Snackpants decided that I needed a Kindle. And I have to admit… I absolutely adore it! I know that certain friends of mine, also with degrees in English, find it ‘unnatural’ to read anything that’s not a physical book
What I’ve learned from Fable 2
about 1 year ago - No comments
I know I’m a little behind the times, but lately I have been on a HUGE Fable 2 kick. Never played it before now, and I can’t seem to get enough of it. It’s like a sickness, really. Last night I was telling Snackpants about what I have learned from playing the game nonstop for
Bah Humbug!

Okay, so let’s *not* talk about the fact that it’s been about 6 weeks since my last post. I was reminded of this fact today when a coworker of Joey Snackpants asked if I was going to discuss my Oreo-induced freakish dreams on my blog (the answer is definitely not). We’re going to talk about

… and I am addicted to yarn! There, I said it. Phew! This has only become a problem in recent years. More so in recent months. Something about the creation process has turned my brain to mush and all I want to do is knit beautiful things… and then give them away! I think it’s

At World of Coke, they are clever devils, as you would expect from such a global corporation. The only way to get out of the building is by exiting through the gift shop. Now Snackpants loves him some Coke products. So we browse through the t-shirts, the shot glasses, the stuffed Coke polar bears, the
Big Naked Weenie

No, this does not mean that this post will be pornographic in nature! That was actually the name of the menu item I ordered for lunch at The Vortex Bar & Grill yesterday. It was exactly what is said: a big naked weenie. A footlong all-beef hot dog with nothing on it, cause that’s how

That’s right! I have finished the baby blanket! I am actually quite impressed with myself, if I do say so… myself. Which I do. Have a look: The magnificence! The splendor! The pink baby-ness of it all! It will please me to take this to my NICU tour on Tuesday to see if I can
