Well, I’ve made it to full term! Technically, baby girl can come any day, although she should wait until at least February 9th if she doesn’t want her name to be ‘Peggy.’ I’ve got tickets to see Hamilton on Thursday, February 8th, and I do NOT want to miss it!! Baby was transverse during my… Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 37 Weeks
I’ve been tracking my daily steps and distance for a number of years, first with FitBit products and later with an Apple Watch. I started using the Apple Watch in 2015 (coincidentally timed with the release of the 38 mm rose gold model). Honestly, my favorite feature of the watch is that I can use… Continue reading 2017 Statistics – Daily Steps and Distance
How much did I fly in 2017? A total of 22,513 miles. It’s a combination of business and vacation. My company is based in San Francisco, and I travel down there about once every two months. As a family, we went to Virginia, Hawaii, and Wisconsin this year. So, how does this break down by… Continue reading 2017 Statistics – Flight Distance
Remember earlier this year when I was trying to reduce my yarn stash overall? Neither did I, apparently. I started the year at about 71,000 yards of yarn. Right now, I’m sitting at about 86,000 yards. There’s a few days left, and I have some big projects in process, but it’s definitely NOT going to… Continue reading 2017 Stash Down….or not
Hard to believe I’m already 29 weeks pregnant! It feels like the time has gone much more quickly this time, probably because I’ve got a now 6 year old to keep up with! According to all of the baby apps, baby girl is now the size of a butternut squash. I’m feeling a LOT bigger… Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 29 Weeks
I’ve been even more scattered than normal, but I’m back!
I have many memories of my parents cutting coupons and making shopping lists; my dad is still the master of coupon cutting and shopping sale. I tried doing this, but it never really worked for me. I’d lose the coupons or try to use expired ones. The only real exceptions were diaper and formula coupons… Continue reading Coupon Cutting in the Digital Age
The Puget Sound area has a large number of local yarn stores (LYS) with some very incredible selections of yarn and fiber. Each year, there is a LYS Tour of shops in the area that wish to participate. This year, there were 26 stores on the Tour, and I know of at least one that wasn’t… Continue reading Puget Sound Local Yarn Store Tour 2017
In the past three years, we’ve made two major moves. First, in January 2015, from Richmond, VA to San Francisco, CA. Second, Memorial Day 2016, from San Francisco, to Seattle, WA. I’ve been thinking about the relative positions of each of these cities in the US and how they relate to each other. I’ve noticed a big… Continue reading Mapping Our Life
Where did all of March go! I’ve had an entry on my to-do to write February recap posts, but it just got away from me, so I’m just going to combine them here. First up, how did my yarn stash change? Whew….I bought a LOT of yarn in February. I knew this was going to happen… Continue reading February and March Knitting Recap
