So far this spring I have not eaten a single Cadbury creme egg. I used to go through one or two of those a day around Eastertime. I LOVE those things. Only the original ones, not the caramel ones, not the rip-offs. Only the real Cadburys will do. But they are so uber-sweet. Tooth-hurtingly so. […]

Good news today: I finally went and picked up my “new” and old ring. The diamond in it is new, the setting is a dozen years old. They polished the ring up so perfectly that what was once a dullish almost-yellow is now bright and gleaming white gold. The setting and stone are both amazing. […]

My mom mailed me a knitting project, yay! She sent two needles and two skeins of beautiful apple-green yarn. The yarn is actually more like a velvety ribbon, so easy to work with. She had cast on the first few rows, and last night I did another ten or so. It’s going to be a […]

Oh and Brian sent me to this site today that has loads of photos of Ricky Gervais of “The Office” back when he was in a ridiculous new wave band in the early 80s. All I could say was, wow.
