Oh god. It can’t be time to go back to work already! How can my vacation be over? It’s just too gruesome…

Knitting SchwagMany, many thanks to my Secret Pal for the lovely package awaiting me this week! I received a Japanese knitting magazine, a pretty postcard, a clutch-type bag/pencil case, and four balls of Rowan cotton. I’m already using the bag to organize my knitting bits and pieces (tape measure, scissors, etc), so that’s really going…

Me and Emma and her PostcardsSo do you guys remember Emma? She’s the little girl who lives near my Dad who broke her leg two years ago. To help her pass the summer, her parents came up with the idea of collecting postcards. My Dad passed the request on to me, and you guys came…

BAH! So boring old Chris won The Biggest Loser last night. I thought he (and Michael) looked terrible. You could tell they’d basically just starved themselves with very little exercise.

I made a special point of linking to the hotels and restaurants we liked, so if you’re heading to Orlando anytime soon, you might…

I’ve just learned that today is Hug an Australian Day. Luckily I got that one covered. Every day is Hug an Australian Day around my house. (Link courtesy of Amy.)

Saying goodbye and coming home…It’s hard. It’s always hard, but this one was awful. It’s funny; I wouldn’t have been so sad had I left a week earlier. During the big crazy family holiday crush of Easter, it was easy to fall into old patterns and relationships. I found myself getting stressed out and annoyed…
