Crafty Like That
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. I did the math. Very boring math. I looked at my gps app to determine the furthest I’ve ever been from home. So, not really math so much as it was typing in city names to see which one was the furthest from where… →

Yarn Friends and Travel Plans
What are your future travel plans? My future travel plans?! Would you also like my address and code to my alarm system?! With that said, I won’t go into specifics about any itineraries that are coming up. But just know, once this summer program that I supervise ends in the middle of August, I have… →

All Things Yarn
On what subject(s) are you an authority? I had to look up the definition of authority for this one. What does it mean exactly to be an authority on something?

An Imitation of a Collectible
On Saturday I have what I hope will be my final tattoo appointment for the blue flowers I’ve been getting inked on my arm. If I hold out long enough and don’t tap out, it can be the last session. If it is, and even if it isn’t, I have a gift for my artist.… →

A Steve for Every Season is where I explain why I have kept a skull up there beyond October. Behold! Steve and the bunny ear hat I… →

Lose Yourself
What activities do you lose yourself in? Not just a catchy song by Eminem. I can easily lose myself in any of my hobbies. Reading is probably the easiest activity, especially if it’s a fiction book. I’ve been alternating between fiction and non. Having just finished a very lengthy Stephen King book, I’m reading a… →

A Southern Snow Day
I got the snow day I wanted! School dismissed two hours early yesterday and there was no word on school today until about 7 a.m., but the call did come and we were closed! Granted, I then had to call, email, and/or text students in the classes that would be affected by the closure today.… →

A Steve for Every Season
In thinking about what kind of person I am these days, I’ve written about using the F word more and not caring so much about things. I’ve also discovered that I’m very petty and quite sarcastic. This is mostly shown in what I do and not what I say. I’m not quick-witted enough to be… →

Christmas Celebrity
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? I literally just wrote about this yesterday! I met Ralphie! It really is the coolest story I’ll ever get to tell about meeting someone famous. →
