I honestly don’t want to remember most of 2013. It was a year of sadness, betrayal, frustration, and heartbreak. There were moments of happiness, but they were so few and far between. Just about a year ago, I found out that I was unexpectedly pregnant. And I was filled with fear. Abject terror. And that […]

A little bit of Hermione… I am truly loving most of my classes this semester! I only have one that is a traditional classroom setting, albeit an online one. That is my Mythology and Modern Life class. I really am loving my class in terms of what I am studying. My professor is amazing; I’ve done […]
Frankenbeanies and Slouchy Boys I have made the Boy Beanie by Laura Killoran a whole bunch of times, and I really love that pattern, originally in Stitch and Bitch.

This week has all the makings to be a pretty craptastic week. This Saturday was supposed to be my due date and I am not entirely sure my body realizes that it isn't pregnant anymore. Especially after the maelstrom of crap it has been through, I don't think it knows which way is up. Hell, some […]
I wish I drank. There are days when I think that a little shot of vodka in the morning java might do me a world of good. This self-imposed rule of not drinking when stressed out sometimes sucks, especially when I seem to live in that state most of the time. The Tween Years. This […]
That was my reaction upon discovering a piece of news. The back story… I was talking about bullying among kids with my friend Kevin and I told him a bit about our brush with it. Ours took place before we left NY, from about September of 2011 to May of 2012. There was another […]
