    @Fiestywenchyone As one of the few Americans who understands cricket, I didn’t see anything offensive about the ad.


    I am 3-for-8 so far on Words With Friends games. I suck at Scrabble.


    @brodrigu Oh you are going DOWN, mister!


    @spycoredotnet Who’s your vet? The kitties go to Glebe now, and I like Dr. Tony there.


    I haz a microphone for top sekrit purposes. http://twitpic.com/x62rs


    Time to pack up for tomorrow’s Guild meeting and hit the sack.

    didn’t get the stupid email, so I’m not posting my bra colour.


  • F**king Book Deal

    Look at This F**king Idea for a Blog-to-Book Deal. Okay, you have to spend a lot of time on the Internet to appreciate that site, but it’s COMEDY GOLD, I tell you.

  • Epsom Salts

    Huh. It appears that Epsom salts are just snake oil. The real benefit comes from the warm water soak, but most folks won’t do it unless there’s some magic medicine involved.

  • Sew Weekly

    I just discovered Sew Weekly, a blog about an attempt to sew a garment every week. I love, LOVE the 1970’s dress. (I was also happy to discover that the author used to write the blog “Sew Wrong,” which I read back in the day. Small world!)

    @DianneKing It’s a 4ply. 50% wool, 50% silk. Knitabulous FiftyFifty if you’re on Ravelry…


    @knitterjp Good grief! You ARE early! I won’t be there for ages. šŸ™

    @nis_ Nope, mine went out about 9 hours late today. #runkeeper


    @captain_beef I plan on being the very last holdout who has NOT seen it. You’re welcome to join me.


    @imdominating I think I may have a submission for that site this weekend.

    @DianneKing Trying desperately to keep from getting sucked in to Small Shawl Addiction. So maybe a scarf?


    Him: “I feel like these pants somewhat highlight my package.” Me: “That’s the whole point of slim fit trousers for men. Hello, Mr. Darcy!”


    @DianneKing NO! They’re way too frilly and girly from me. They don’t suit my wardrobe at all. I’ve knitted too many things I never wear.


    I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #Crustfreepizzafriday

  • RunningBlog: Week 1

    The first week of 2010 is over! To meet my goal of running 1000km (621.4mi) this calendar year, I need to average just over 19km (12mi) a week. I’m happy to report that I’m right on schedule. I ran four times this week for a combined total of 22.1km (13.7mi). I’ve also planned out my training schedule for the 2010 Sydney Half-Marathon. I’ll be using Jeff Galloway’s plan for a 2:20 finish from Galloway’s Book on Running. It doesn’t really start in earnest til February, so I’m still base-building at the moment. I’m aiming to do three of my runs each week at less than 145bpm, and I’ll allow myself to push up to 160bpm on one of them. (Interesting sidenote: I found it much easier to stay within the easy zone this morning since I’d skipped my usual coffee. Might have to make that a habit.)

    Jan 1: 5.23km
    Jan 2: 5.12km
    Jan 5: 5.81km
    Jan 7: 5.95km
    Total: 22.1km (13.7mi)

    100 Games Cupcake Game. A lot of these are really clever. By the end though, I felt a bit sick from looking at all that royal icing. Ugh.
