For everyone who did the math, whether algebraically or geometrically or logically or intuitively, you were right. I did not have enough white. It would have been obvious if I’d admitted it to myself, but deep down I sort of wanted my socks to look the same. I didn’t think of myself as an advocate … More Finnished
Remember word problems? I remember hating them. I think it was because I was good at math, but word problems really required not math, but reading comprehension and analytical abstraction, which I was not taught (at least not in math class). But now I love them, because I enjoy logic puzzles, and because I don’t … More Word Problems
I’m still here, churning out the Christmas presents, burning the midnight oil, writing here while waiting for attachments for my Biblical Theology project to upload. But enough about that. I have been working at a new yarn shop – Yarns Unlimited – for over two months now, and I’ve been saving some pictures of it … More New Second Home
It finally happened – the interwebs ate a post. Here I was, almost finished, moving some text around, I press Ctrl+Z one too many times, and it all disappears. Usually I am pretty clever with these things. But why am i surprised? I’ve written eleven pages of papers in the past two days; my brain … More US4
This year for thanksgiving, the Jennings clan came up to visit Chez Osborn. The food was grooood. I learned the following things about hostessing: (1) Having seven people in a tiny apartment at any given time is sort of exhausting. (2) Doing all your meat in the crockpot is a great way to cut out … More Thanksgiven
It’s a little odd that I am freakishy happy about that statement. The “turkey” (chicken) is eaten, the leftovers piled high in the fridge, the family gone, the house quiet again, and we had a great time. I will tell you all about our fun tomorrow, as it was great times. I’m so thankful they … More The Wool Is Gone
Thank you all (and by “all” I mean “my mom”) for participating in my gripefest a few days ago. I do honestly want to affirm all the stress and insanity so many of us are feeling as the holidays start to set in, but the morning after my last post, I went to chapel and … More Attitude Upgrade
Fashion/Ministry blogger Peacebang has declared today “an intergenerational, ecumenical Moment of Whining” about all the work we have to do this week to get ready to be happy and thankful. After two weeks of near-perpetual illness, frantic fleece-dyeing, insta-papers, and being too stressed out to sleep, I am more than happy to participate. It’s 34 … More Not Dead, Just Buried
It has officially taken me as long to blog about November’s socks as it took me to knit them. You have no reason to believe me, but I did in fact finish these socks on November 8th. Though I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t tell you that most of the reason I waited to … More The Rewards of Arbitrary Persistance
Friday was for fleeces, but apparently Saturday was for being sick as a dog. So Sunday was for Sabbath, which leaves Monday for… making up. (Wasn’t that clever? Thanks, I thought that was clever.) I found out last week that I have a week and a half to wash and dye the rest of the … More So then are Tuesdays for Torture?
