In the tradition of the Livestrong bracelets comes one that I can get behind. The brainchild of a family in Idaho, its a peaceful, unobtrusive way to show where your support lies.

Saturday night found TheBoy and I at the home of my fantastic boss, with her children, my coworkers, their significant others, and a few of her friends. My boss’ daughter and one of my coworkers made sushi for everyone. Now, neither TheBoy or I had ever had sushi and I’m pretty sure I probably won’t read more

Things are a little wonky right now as we play with the RSS feed and some of the other changes to the site. I beg your patience and promise a real post later on, since I have stories of the weekend to tell.

Well, we have some changes here at the Ink. Firstly, over there on the side, see, over there, to the left, there’s a shiny new orange button. Yes folks, an RSS feed. We think it works, its been both validated and tested, but let me know if you have any issues with it. And look read more

Yesterday was a fantastic mail day at the apartment of TheBon. I got a package containing the new shirts I had ordered, a package containing yarn purchased on eBay, and a package containing yarn and needles for my Rogue. I knit up one of my swatches for Rogue, although I still have to knit the read more

Here you will find one of the best ideas ever. A group of knitters, dumping personalized, knitted, uteri on the steps of the Supreme Court. I am IN!

I don’t know when the last time I saw someone was with an eye patch. Until today that is. In the 20 minutes that I stood at Eugene Station waiting to catch the bus to school I saw two people with eye patches. Maybe they both got BB guns for Christmas. On a less dumb read more

Firstly, happy new year to all! My New Year’s Eve was spent at a gathering, and then with TheBoy’s family on New Year’s Day. I was gifted with a multitude of things at TheBoy’s house, including a gift from Lou the Pug. Most of my Christmas gifts from them were kitchen supplies, a good set read more

My trip home was somewhat eventful. TheBoy and I drove to his mom’s and stayed there for the night as planned (her house is only 45 minutes from the airport as opposed to 2.5 hours). We awoke at 4am on the 22nd in order to be ready and get to the airport by 6.40am, two read more

Just figured I’d drop a quick note this morning to let everyone know that I am still alive. My first flight got cancelled last Wednesday and I didn’t get out of Portland until 7.30 at night, 11 hours behind schedule.
