I am not taking no for an answer…
I long have been a fan of Mr. Olbermann for varied reasons, however when I found this quote on imgfave.com today it gave me a completely new level of adoration for him. Therefore, I am starting week with renewed vigor on a number of fronts. Here is to a week filled...
Musically speaking…
Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul. ~ Plato It seems that part of Being Bodacious is having a "theme song." Apparently, I am less than bodacious than I thought...
Trained Monkeys
In my on-going search for employment, today entered a new phase. I applied a couple of weeks ago for a "relief rural carrier" (i.e. substitute mail carrier) with the United States Post Office. Yes, that United States Post Office! After filling out their extensive and...
Saturday Indulgences…
On any typical Saturday in my home, you will find a variety of activity going on from the mendacity of housework to the thrill of laundry. As in all cases, being a Domestic Diva is a tough job... However, occasionally some inspiration strikes and suddenly you find...
Didn't you get my memo?
Or maybe I should say, didn't you read my memo? Communication is highly under-rated, until Miss Communication showed up unexpectedly. Can someone please show her the door... I really need to get dressed.
Haikus and Knitting
Bits of soft brown wool And carefully knit stitches Create cute slippers
Nothing artificial, with no added sweetener.
A friend from a multitude of social networks who also is a blogger has put a challenge to all her Gal Pal's to take up her Bodacious Challenge and broadcast it to all of you, my Gentle Readers. Therefore, with little encouragement needed, I am joining the cause and...
Eat Fresh?
In my ongoing attempt to provide you humor for your day I was helpless to share with you all my latest and greatest in the ever elusive search for gainful employment. As you may, or may not, be aware I live in a state with an inordinate number of Fellow Gainfully...
Monday in the Mind of Kat
Or rather, what is left of my mind. I found this several weeks ago on a friends blog. So, here are those questions, with my attempt at semi-witty answers! Please feel free to use this on your blog as well! Let's hear it for more Useless and Trivial Knowledge... things...
It's not always about being popular.
It does not seem possible that an entire year has already passed since President Obama took the reins of an Out of Control America. And, so you might ask... are we better today than we were just one short year ago. The answer for me is yes... and no. And even though...
Moody Monday
Days that are shades of grey and feeling empty and alone. It can sometimes be too quiet.... However, I keep telling myself that spring is coming.
The Treatment of Five Hundred…
I am pretty sure that even if you live under a rock that you probably know about the story of five loaves and two fishes and a meal for five thousand. Seem impossible? Yeah, it does to me as well. And, even with all my culinary skills I am more than certain that I...
A Unifying Rally Cry…
I was never more appalled nor ashamed of the comments made by the leader of the amoral majority, Pat Robertson regarding the disaster that has befallen Haiti. Yes, you read that right, amoral. However, today my President put Mr. Robertson in his place and did so far...
The Books Have It
An online friend started off the New Year with a return to Meme Monday. I felt it was a good way to begin as well. Therefore, here is my contribution...If you use this Meme, leave me a comment so I can read your choices! 1) What author do you own the most books by?...
Go softly, my friend…
There were final footsteps in the snow They will all too soon be melted However, the footsteps you left on my heart will remain for all eternity. Tonight, I ask you all to raise a glass to Copper. "....But since it fell into my lot, That I should rise and you should...
We all need a little more yarn in our lives, or not…
It is a sad state of affairs that in the past year I have purchased little or no new yarn with which to knit. Seriously... No. New. Yarn. I have been progressively knitting through my stash and as 2009 draws to a close, and I still have yarn to make choices from! This...
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off…
And start all over again. After yesterday's recap of the that year that was, I thought it would be a good idea to get right back on the proverbial horse, as it were. A New Year gives one the opportunity to "start all over again" and that is not a bad thing at all,...
What are you doing New Years…
It has been quite a year here at Casa del KatKnits. I have come through mostly unscathed and I am reluctant to complain - especially when I see friends who have had much greater trials who utter not a word of discontent. The lesson of their quiet fortitude is one that...
