Hah, remember when almost all my photos were of our cats? And now they almost never get their pictures taken. Poor kitties. They're still photogenic! And cuddly :) I worked at home today (I'm still feeling super-duper run-down) and took advantage of the daylight hours over lunch by taking pictures of my knitting. While I… Continue reading me and my buddy. [31.365]

maddy sweater, take 2
In my last post, I mentioned that I might rip out the sweater I'd started knitting for M, after rediscovering my sketch from last year and wishing I'd used the construction method I'd originally planned. So here's Take 2: This time around, I used split hems, which meant knitting two garter bands flat and then… Continue reading maddy sweater, take 2
blinding. [30.365]
I love the sun, but boy, this stretch of road on our way to M's school is just utterly blinding on sunny mornings this time of year, especially when the roads are wet and/or icy. Today was a pretty good day. Had a blast with my writing students this morning, and then had a great… Continue reading blinding. [30.365]
every morning. [29.365]
Every morning, I prep diapers for M to take to school. We just use prefolds laid flat inside of Thirsties covers because they're cheap and practical, and we're really lucky that M's school is enthusiastic about cloth diapering (they're a Montessori school, so they SHOULD be, of course!) and doesn't mind that we don't have… Continue reading every morning.

self portrait in a side-view mirror. [28.365]
My workdays don't give me many good photo opportunities (especially while daylight hours are so limited), so y'all get a quick SP, shot on our way to pick M up from school after work. At least the sun is still up when we leave! Today got off to a rough start. M's having a hard… Continue reading self portrait in a side-view mirror. [28.365]
post-Target smooches. [27.365]
On a very cold day. Woke up with a sore throat this AM (seriously, body? I'm still getting over pneumonia and now you're gonna do this to me?), but tried to be as positive as I could be today despite the less-than-positive start. I ran a very successful writing workshop for an Optics class this… Continue reading post-Target smooches. [27.365]
matchy matchy.
I started a new project this weekend: Awhile back, my friend Cathy sent me a couple of gorgeous skeins of Fleece Artist BFL Aran, and they happened to be a near-perfect match for the BFL Aran I'd knit my blue Cobblestone sweater form several years ago (I wear this sweater near constantly in the winter… Continue reading matchy matchy.
matchy matchy. [26.365]
I started a new project this weekend... Cathy gave me some gorgeous Fleece Artist BFL Aran in a GMDS package awhile back, and it was almost a perfect match to the BFL aran that I'd knit my blue girlified-Cobblestone sweater out of several years ago. As some of you know, I have a bit of… Continue reading matchy matchy. [26.365]
playing with trains. [25.365]
We went to the Strong Museum of Play today. My parents got us a membership for Christmas and it was our first time visiting! <div align="center" Madrigal had a BLAST there. There was so much great stuff - fishtanks, all sorts of toys and play areas, a miniature Wegmans, a miniature Post Office, a place… Continue reading playing with trains. [25.365]
neenerpants. [24.365]
I was working at home today, and Nina was actually NOT hiding under the covers like she usually does, so I took her picture. She's so pretty. It was nice to work at my desk upstairs with nice sunlight coming in through the window (my office on campus is windowless). Also nice to be able… Continue reading neenerpants. [24.365]
sunset over interfaith chapel. [23.365]
The sunset was gorgeous today. This was the view that greeted me as I left my office a little before 5 today. Not only was it ACTUALLY SUNNY when I left, there was even a rainbow! I couldn't get the rainbow to show up using my phone's camera, but it was beautiful in real life.… Continue reading sunset over interfaith chapel. [23.365]
prepping slides. [22.365]
Today was a prep-day for me. Here's hoping the sound system is working in my classroom tomorrow, because I have a lot of videos and sound files to share with my students. We're still covering speech perception. It's neat stuff. I'm still feeling pretty cruddy. Not so much actively sick anymore, but really worn out,… Continue reading prepping slides. [22.365]
leaving work. [21.365]
Waiting in the car while A cleared the snow off. I'm so lucky to have A, he takes such good care of me when I'm not well. Taught my two classes for the second time today. My writing class is SUCH a wonderful group of students, I already adore them. The sound wasn't working during… Continue reading leaving work. [21.365]
me and my girl [20.365]
It was just the two of us today. It was a LONG day. We had some fun together playing with blocks, and reading books (though this was pretty rough for me, since I'm still not breathing all that great and my voice isn't totally back, and M insisted on reading OUR ENTIRE LIBRARY). Then M… Continue reading me and my girl [20.365]
working. [19.365]
I'm working today. Since I'm losing my prep day tomorrow (I'll be home solo w/M, since she doesn't have school, and that ain't a recipe for working!), I'm trying to get all my work done today. Here's hoping that I can get into a regular groove soon that doesn't involve too many hours working on… Continue reading working. [19.365]
