Yarn, jet lag and chocolate
I got back this morning from a whirlwind 48 hour trip to Long Beach to attend the TNNA Winter Show. I took the red eye and got home at 6:30 am. I’m jet lagged and exhausted and left to sort through STACKS of information. I left straight from the Point at 4:00 pm on Thursday […]
It’s a whole new year . . .
Sooooo much to tell you all since last I blogged. Where to begin. First of all, it’s another lazy Sunday in Park Slope. First brunch with a friend, a walk, and now David reading in our cozy chair and a half. I am sitting by the fire listening by my MANY podcasts that have piled […]
A Jewish Christmas in Brooklyn
Just as magical as a Child’s Christmas in Wales. First David and I went out with our pal Tim to a fabulous dinner at Stone Park Cafe here in Park Slope. Then a drive to the magical christmas wonderland known as Dyker Heights Brooklyn. Here’s a small sampling of the true meaning of christmas (excess)
I made it!
Ode to surviving xmas in retail: ‘Twas two days before xmas and all through Park Slope There was great rejoicing, and no one did mope The alarm clock was silent, no beep did we hear “I slept till 10:30!” I said with a cheer There’s knitting to do and movies to see Chinese Restaurants are […]
Knitting detour
I had almost finished the tedious, 13 1/2″ k2, P2 rib of the pin up queen when gift giving made me take a knitting detour. First David asked if I could make a baby gift in a week and a half. I told him no problem. Three days later I knocked out this cute little […]
Perfect Sunday part. 2
The firewood is stacked and being used the hot chocolate has been made. I’m FINALLY skeining, balling and counting the yardage of yarn that my mother in law gave me a year ago so I can figure out what to do with it. and my husband just pulled a fresh loaf of bread out of […]
A perfect Sunday in Park Slope
I woke up at 7:00 am to David’s little voice saying “I have to go to the Food Coop, do you want Bagels & Lox or Pancakes?”. As if that wasn’t nice enough, I got out of bed and saw this out the window: You can’t really tell from the photo, but it was snowing. […]
Much needed
I got to spend three whole days with my family this Thanksgiving. It was a MUCH needed break. I’ve been working myself into the ground, and the weekend was the first good night’s sleep I had in months. We left Wednesday at 7:30 am. My brother in law picked us up and we just hung […]
to paraphrase Bette Davis . . .
Retail is not for sissies. Saturday gave me a tiny glimpse into what my life would be between now and Jan 1st. From 9:00 am – 7:30 pm I did not stop moving! We are selling out of stuff as fast as the new boxes come in. We are getting so many deliveries at the […]
Hanging on to the day off
The last two weeks have been a blur. I told myself that I would treat the first month of my new job as manager at The Point, like one long tech week (a reference to my old life as a Stage Manager!). I’ve been working 13 hour days, 6 days a week (NOT kidding). I […]
