Tuesday Afternoon Rambly Bits
Dec. 14th, 2010 03:32 pm-- Sorry I've been kind of scarce around here recently. I'll try to be better about posting more regularly.
-- I've been knitting much more in recent months. Something about Muffin and Squeaker having a real, set schedule and an actual bed time makes my free time more free. I've made four winter hats for the girls, two pairs of mittens, part of a baby gift, and I have a couple of projects on needles. It feels good to get back to a hobby I love but didn't have brain space for.
-- Our most recent Patch column is up, this time written by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mabfan about cars. Or, more precisely, about no car.
-- This is a weird winter so far (yeah, I know it's not yet actual winter; I'm using the colloquial sense): everywhere, it seems, has had snow except Boston. Thoughlcmlc reports a dusting of snow on the driveway this morning, and we're supposed to get something this week.
-- Muffin and Squeaker continue to expand their vocabularies. Beside "banana," "this," "that," "Mama," and "Daddy" (or, as Muffin says it, "dah-DEEEE!"), they now say "go," "done," "down," "baby," "beep," and many other words that we're still not 100% sure what they mean.
-- Chanukah is over, and this year -- like other years when the Jewish holidays fall early in relation to the Gregorian calendar -- I have again the dilemma of how to respond to greetings of "happy holidays." My default is "and to you as well."
