So far, May's been an incredibly hectic month, mainly due to the fact that work has been nuts, project-wise, and I'm looking forward to a break. Here's what's been going on, list style: 1. We've purchased an Xbox 360! A month or ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/05/11/excitement-galore/ I am SO busy. And tired. And I have a lot to write about and pictures to post, but said tiredness is getting my way of collecting my thoughts and writing them down. Soon. I'll update this soon. http://star-shaped.org/2008/05/10/temporarily-mia/ I seem to only update my site over the weekend! I guess it's better than never updating at all, so me actually opening up the 'write post' page in Wordpress and typing up and entry not only once, but twice in the same weekend is a vast improvement. Today's questions ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/04/27/indiana-memories/ I've been slacking majorly this week, blog updating-wise.

Lisanne asked me a few questions, and ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/04/26/questions-from-lisanne/ I thoroughly enjoyed myself this weekend.

I pretended I ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/04/21/life-is-good/ Both Lisanne and Laura have done this recently, so I'm going to jump in. Ask me some questions, anything you'd like to know about me.

I'll answer your questions in future ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/04/20/questions/ Today, my beautiful Pomatomus socks went from this - to this - all because of this - and now I am sad. I knit these socks last summer while camping in Missouri with Scott's family; I don't believe the temperatures dipped below 95F so I spent the weekend in the ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/04/12/the-demise-of-pomatomus/ This weekend, I randomly went to Kentucky. I also spent an insubordinate amount of time in a car, driving the interstate between Louisville and Cincinnati, happily gazing outside the windows to see mountains much like the mountains near my hometown in Massachusetts. I've been drawn to blues and blacks ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/04/01/of-roads-quilting-photos-and-blogs/ As much as I like the Tarski layout, I needed a theme of my own to grace my site. Maybe I needed to see something different for a month or two, because I like my green layout again. I want to tweak it a little bit more, but ... http://star-shaped.org/2008/03/31/new-old-theme/
