Time is on my mind

By -


On the subject of time:

It's time for me to be a Cub fan again. My mid-life crises with the Red Sox is over. I bleed Cubby blue and always will. The pizza box shows "Wrigleyville" on it's cover. Wrigely it is, Wrigley it will stay. I think the friendly confines will stand the test of time.

It's time I share my time saver : time boxing. Someone suggested this stategy for finding more time to knit. For me, it is about defining my time during the day. I feel less scattered if I decide to work on xyz during one hour and abc during the next. I am easily distracted and this keeps me on task a bit more.

It's time to comment about comments. I like to read your blogs and leave comments. If you've noticed I only use lower case, it is just a time saver for me. I usually have Fiona the bleached calico, on my lap and leaning on my right arm while I type. Shifting just makes me slow. so i hope you don't think i am rude, i am just time saving.

Time to go to work. :)

Now I know why we get along. I'm a Cubs fan too. So much so that my whole wedding is cubs themed. I met a man who is also a cubs fan but isn't from Chicago either!!

I like this idea of time boxing. I need to work on that. I get lost in the world of ravelry and blogs that it takes away from my knitting and Special K time. He's not liking this too much.

Have a great day at work!!

Summer to me is my mom in her Cub's Tank top weeding the garden and listening to the game on AM radio. I'm with you on that one!

I am a native New Yorker, so it will always be the Yankees for me...

I am used to reading blogs in lower case, so it doesn't phase me, but I feel obligated to type using caps when normally required. I also feel compelled to correct my typos and misspellings whenever I catch them, too. It's part of the obsessive/perfectionist streak in me, what can I say? LOL

Have a great Sunday, even if it's an hour shorter, it'll be light longer~! =)

I love your comments and never noticed that they, or your blog, were all lower case. Keep doing what you're doing--it's great!

I also LOVE Agostino's pizza!! (Drool) DS sends us a big box of them every year at Christmas. We and the Texas part of the family have them for Christmas Eve dinner.

Lovely to hear from you anytime and anyway:) No caps is fine with me - and most of my id's on forum tend to be in lc. I reckon its easier for me to remember them - especially if the site is case sensitive. Time boxing works for me too - if my chaotic family let me stick with it!

What a beautiful blanket - just perfect for snuggling. And, fingers crossed, your garden blooms as well this spring...

Gee I never noticed you didn't use caps. 'Fraid I do. Just because I do typing for a living. If I don't cap; it's a mistake ... I'm NOT a perfectionist, LOL.

Hey, I'm happy that people read my blog. And I love getting every comment I read. Otherwise, I might feel like I'm just talking inside my head and that would be boring, huh? BTW, I'm all for saving time ... especially if it's to add on to my knitting time. Happy knitting.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
