A bunch of blogs

I've found a fair number of new blogs that I've recently started reading regularly. (I need to update my sidebar lists.)

Most of them are crafting blogs because craft stuff is what I do to relax.

(Weird thing about me, I find that I'm too perfectionist to use music - playing piano, singing - to relax. If I hit wrong notes and stuff, I have to work at it to get it 'right', so while it is an outlet for my emotions, I don't necessarily relax doing it. Also, Monkey-boy still freaks out when I sing or try to play the piano: "No Mommy! No Singing! No Mommy! No play piano! No!" while he physically pushes me off the piano bench. Obviously I'm not playing or singing enough!)

Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is there are some very creative people out there with blogs (yes, I already knew that). Right now, my favorite new read is whipup.net. They have several contributors that cover all topics related to crafting. From art to needlecrafts to functional items, they've got it all. I have to check it everyday to see what new crazy/wonderful thing they've found.

More later....

Busy, busy, busy

Why is life so busy?
(No answer required)

Anyways, I'm going to try to update here more frequently; I've been a bit lazy about it the last while. I'm finding it easier/simpler to read others' blogs, so I don't bother updating my own. Even though I have lots of stuff going on that makes good blog fodder. ;)

So, check back later....there may actually be something to read.

Love and marriage

Monkey-girl: Mommy, are you supposed to marry someone you love?

TKHousewife: Yes.

Monkey-girl: Oh, well, I don't love N, but I still want to marry him.
(N is our next door neighbour, a year younger than Monkey-girl.)

TKHousewife: Why do you want to marry him?

Monkey-girl: Because he's a boy.



Should I be worried?

Lack of posts for the next week...

...not because I'm not posting (like normal), but because I'm off to visit my folks on Vancouver Island! Yay!!!!

I'm going to convince them to take me and the monkey-kids up a mountain so we can play in the snow a bit. We haven't had much snow here this winter, and the sled I bought 2 years ago still hasn't been used.

TKHubband is staying home and working...he doesn't get spring break, though he does get a break from us! :)

More adventures of Kitten

So Kitten likes the garage. Maybe it gives him a sense of adventure to wander around in it. Fuels his instincts to hunt spiders or styrofoam peanuts in the wild unheated depths.

Of course, after a couple of hours, he's waiting by the door to come in when we open it. Kind of the "Okay, I'm done now, let me in, I'm freezing" waiting.
