"Oh, pipe down 007." ~ Q As we're nearing the conclusion of our Bond movie quest, we've started spacing out the movies. Partially, this gives us time to decide what we'll watch after our Bond movie marathon concludes.

“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” ~ Breakfast Club Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. Sure, it's safe to say I enjoy eating, but I love a good breakfast anytime of the day.

Craftvent: Day 2
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already eased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Cowl-o-Ween: Days 5, 6 and 7
A river cuts through rock not because of it's power, but because of it's persistence. I know it's December, and I'm still talking about Halloween knits. What can I say. I'm a process knitter. This isn't my primary focus right now, but mosaic knitting is a bit easier to follow than lace knitting when watching…Read more Cowl-o-Ween: Days 5, 6 and 7

Working from Home: Week 40
To find yourself, thing for yourself. ~ Socrates Forty weeks ago, I started working from home. That same week the British Hubby also started working from home. Has it really been 40 weeks?

Tomorrow Never Dies and M
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. ~ Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies Our Friday night Bond movie fest continued this week with Tomorrow Never Dies.
