Mousie Goes to Washington
Hello there! I am sorry to say that I do not have a good segue from silence to vacation, so let's just drop in. Vacation!!!!!! I am not quite sure what to say about Washington DC. This is my first time, so I am still in staggering around in tourist mode. It is nowhere near … Continue reading Mousie Goes to Washington
The Tale of Mousie
Happy Friday, dear readers! We have successfully made it to the end of the week. I've made a serious dent in my handwashing, and fingers crossed I'll be able to finish packing away winter things this weekend. In the tidal wave of attention following Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's shoutout, somebody asked about the story of Mousie. That's … Continue reading The Tale of Mousie
I Was Going To Write About Other Things
I was going to write about my finished cowl, and I was going to write about my attempts to organize my stash. But then I went to Changing Hands to see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.

Let Them Eat Cupcakes
My best friend showed Mousie and I where the cool kids go for yummy food in Seattle. Here, we are about to indulge in a smoked chocolate hazelnut cupcake at the Cupcake Royale in Ballard. I could use another one right about now.

Mousie and I made it to Seattle in one rumpled piece, got to the hotel, … Continue reading Heaven is Cold and Rainy
Mousie Hits the Beach
This weekend, Mousie and I made our first visit to San Diego. Apparently, we were the only people in Arizona who had never been there before. It was rawther nice, reminiscent of Santa Monica, but more city-ish: bigger and grittier, with wider streets and more shops for the average tourist. As happens every time I … Continue reading Mousie Hits the Beach
Like the Pictures
Did anyone decipher that fuzzy little logo on the wingtip in Tuesday's post? Yes, that's the Aer Lingus logo. Librarians are tricky--they plan conferences with rawther dry titles like Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries...and then tell you that that conference will be in Ireland. I had a paper that needed publishing, and the conference … Continue reading Like the Pictures
Stateside
Fear not, dear readers, I have neither forgotten nor abandoned you. Mousie, Querido, and I were away for a week. I am going to attempt a reentry into normal life, blogging included, but it's going to be slow going for a few days. Here's a picture to get us started:
