New Camera

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:34:23 -0500

Works pretty well on the fly! Also, I picked up some new yarn that is going to look AMAZING on Hazel! I'm going to make this into a snowflake fair isle sweater sometime in the upcoming year for next Christmas.

Silliest Girl.

That's what I have - the Silliest Girl. Today she took my sweatshirt and ran around and around the living room with it draped over her shoulders. She is so funny and amazing and cute and AWESOME.

Oh Nikon. :(

Most of you know that I love me some cameras. And that usually means Nikon over other brands. Earlier in the year I purchased a small, pretty cheap digital "pocket" camera to have on hand for quick snapshots and the like. It was pretty great, c...

The Last Christmas Gift

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:30:32 -0500

Today I finished blocking the Clapotis I have been working on for my grandmother: I love it. LOVE IT. I want to wear it! Obviously, I'm going to have to make myself a snuggly wrap/shawl immediately. Bonus, I have about 5 skeins leftover...

The Pot & the Kettle

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:00:21 -0500

If you didn't already know we were related, this picture might convince you. Hazel and I were trying to pose for a picture (meaning I was trying to get her to stand still and look at the camera simultaneously) and she bumped into me, causing ...

This is how bedtime goes.

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:08:21 -0500

As you may know, Amos and I have been pretty strict in a bedtime routine for Hazel. We started giving her a bath and reading The Goodnight Book when she was about 6 weeks old. Gradually she got to the point where she understands as soon as we ta...

Knitting Adventures

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:17:24 -0500

Murphy's Law states the following: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Also, all the sweaters Laura knits for Hazel will be at least 2 sizes too big. You may think that I added that last bit. Well, it's always been there, but no one care...

A Funny Thing Happened

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:30:22 -0500

I woke up with a goal in mind. Today, yes TODAY, I was going to finish up this proposal/research paper that has been hanging over my head like a guillotine. The word limit was 3000-5000 words, and I have had 1300 words (all appendices and the int...

Dear Hazel,

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:36:42 -0500

Trust me when I say that you only slept for 15 minutes. It's not time to get out of the crib. You are supposed to sleep for 2 whole hours. I know how to read a clock; you don't, yet. I love you, but I am not going to consider your job as "baby...

Quick like a bunny!

nobody@vox.com(Laura) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:47:41 -0500

I am sick. Hazel is sicker. Amos is not (lucky dude!). So this will be quick fast like lightening! This week was productive in that I got new yarn and started knitting with it. Oh also the house was clean for one whole day. PRETTY COOL. ...
