Miss Lilly


She may never get used to the black dog. This is where she spends her time when she manages to sneek past Kozmo.

FRANKENBOOB

I did it!!! A twenty year dream was fulfilled last week and I underwent bilateral reduction mammoplasty- AKA breast reduction. It has been six days as of this writing and I feel really good. Only needed pain medication for the first twenty-four hours and it's been Advil ever since. Today marks day six and every day gets easier. Yay!!

Cheap thrill....

I just won a Tupperware Burger Press and Store on ebay for $8.00. My plan is to make my own beautifully shaped and formed Garden Burgers! I found a great looking recipe via the internet and will let you know how my latest endeavor works for me. Hey, the burgers are about $5.00 for four patties and the recipe looks fantastic (and dead-on). Stay tuned!

This ball glows in the dark and it's a riot to see the ball move up and down in the dark. I guess you would have to be there.....

Started 8/4/08......we'll see how I do with this yarn. Started with fuzzy grey Berocco Ultra Alpaca and ripped it out. Could not see any stitch definition, so decided it was not worth doing anything intricate.
