No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive. ~ Gandhi I love my British Hubby. He's quirky. He's witty. He's humorous. He's also a hermit crab. Don't get me wrong, I'm a card carrying introvert. When an introvert marries a hermit crab, they don't often venture outside of their own bubble. While this…Read more Twisted Cuban

Celebrating Life
Don't let yesterday take up too much of today. ~ Will Rogers I'm back to celebrating life on both Friday and Sunday nights. I would like to say I had a fantastic weekend, but the day job kept me pretty busy both days. I did manage to make it to my LYS twice! Yesterday, the…Read more Celebrating Life
First Friday of September
Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything thing that it is. ~ Mandy Hale Have you ever crammed five days of work into four days? Three day weeks always seem to be that way. I didn't even have time for Conspiracy Thursday.…Read more First Friday of September
Midweek Check In
If you're going through hell, keep going. ~ Winston Churchill I was hoping today's blog post would be about out time this weekend on Lummi Island. Sadly, the past two days I've worked an unreasonable amount of hours at the day job. Unfortunately, I'm not sure when my workload will ease up. This equates to…Read more Midweek Check In
TDS: Stage Three
The only difference between an experienced knitter and new knitter is that the experienced knitter makes bigger mistakes faster. Be bold; there are no terrible consequences in knitting. ~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee It's the end of the month. Normally, I would post a photo of all the projects I've finished this month. Can you guess how…Read more TDS: Stage Three
Secluded Hiking
It's impossible to walk in the woods and be in a bad mood at the same time. The temperatures have finally dropped. There is still a hint of smoke in the air, but it's not as hazy as last weekend. The British Hubby and I thought we would attempt to hike. We're a bit rusty…Read more Secluded Hiking
Team Work Saves the Day
I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse. ~ Florence Nightingale Last week we got off track with our Godzilla movies. We should have watched Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. This movie was produced in 1964 and was the first Godzilla movie in color. It's the fifth movie in the Godzilla anthology. The…Read more Team Work Saves the Day
Dances with Mothra
He that plants trees loves others besides himself. ~Thomas Fuller Friday night has become Godzilla movie night at our house. The next movie on our list was Mothra vs. Godzilla. The movie started with a typhoon that dislodged a huge egg from Infant Island and ended up on the shores of Japan. You may recall…Read more Dances with Mothra
Radioactive Update
There are no ordinary cats. ~ Colette It's Friday! This has been another scorching hot week in the PNW. While the day job does provide relief from the hot air outside, I spent a rather large amount of time there attempting to keep up with the demanding work flow this week. The highlight this week…Read more Radioactive Update
King Kong vs. Godzilla
The cold ain't the weather. That's death approaching. ~ 30 Days of Night Friday night is movie night for the British Hubby and I. You may recall on July 13, we started watching the numerous Godzilla movies. This weekend was King Kong vs. Godzilla. It's never really addressed how King Kong gets back…Read more King Kong vs. Godzilla
