I went down to the Grand Opera House in Wilmington for a concert earlier this week. The venue itself was very nice and had great acoustics, although it wasn’t really the kind of venue I’d picture for the Avett Brothers. My parents saw them play at the Troc last year, which is much more suitable […]
This past week I’ve been catching up on some knitting and sewing I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I really haven’t done much of anything in the way of crafting in several months. I travel so much for work that I’m rarely home and then have so much other stuff to get done […]
CNN is having a final round of voting to choose a “hero” to feature onair. One of them came to my attention through the usual random degrees (as a matter of fact, he’s my uncle’s colleague’s brother’s grandson) – Pat Pedraja. He’s a 12 year old boy fighting leukemia who started Driving for Donors, which […]
I’ve decided to set my personal blog up here, after this domain going through various things for years. The main domain will remain my knit blog. I’ll eventually be moving some old posts over from a livejournal I had started in college. Just the posts, I’m not too worried about the comments or anything else. […]
As a quick update on the missing luggage, I finally let myself be convinced to buy new clothes that night. After purchasing them, and also new toiletries, I went back to my hotel room only to find my luggage had been delivered while I was shopping. One of the bags was ripped, but they were […]

At first they were little problems with quick solutions, but then the solutions stopped appearing. 1. Couldn’t check in online and […]
Last weekend was my second time at the festival down in Woodstown and it was even more fun than last year. We had some great camping neighbors who we jammed with. I actually bought a mandolin and the one woman who lives near me is going to help me learn to play it. The one […]
I was at Grey Fox last month and it’s definitely something I’m going to be going to every year. They had a dance pavilion for one thing which was so much fun, especially since the Red Stick Ramblers played on it every night. Also lessons during the day. Corey Ledet and the Wilders were on […]
I just bought a car – black 5 speed ’08 Corolla LE. My dad’s coworker’s husband is the sales manager at a Toyota dealership nearby so I’m getting it below invoice. Picking it up Saturday. Good thing because my current car’s fan broke 2 weeks ago. Just in time for the hottest 2 weeks of […]
A friend of mine rented a 34 foot inflatable slip-n-slide for her graduation party yesterday. It was the most fun ever, but I can barely move today.
