Welcome to My Blog
Here is a masonry blog layout with no sidebarI'm Dreaming of a White Easter…
Excuse me, but I believe that yesterday was the Vernal Equinox - Spring - end of winter - etc. Well, someone forgot to tell Old Man Winter that because he blew in this afternoon and deposited 12 inches of snow and it is still coming down! The wind is howling and...
Random Hilarity
Hello everyone! Hope your week is rolling along smoothly. Yesterday I accompanied Sandy to Ann Arbor - her husband is not feeling great and he was admitted to the hospital for some tests. Check in was something else. There was this hysterical, and I mean...
Spinning fun!
Hello everyone! Last night Sandy and I went to spin with the Woodland Spinners. It was great fun! What an upbeat group of talented spinners! I even met someone who is a new spinner like me! She started spinning in August when she took a class at Allegan Fiber...
Lovely Rita
Color Queen! (Okay, so I took a little license with the Beatles song... ) I had a whirlwind weekend - literally. I drove to Glen Arbor to get Sam on Friday - 6 hours round trip. However, I stopped a couple of places along the way. Just a little fiber distraction!...
Daylight Savings Time
is still kicking my butt. Okay, I don't know about you but I am still struggling with the time change. I am waking up at a ridiculous hour and, while I love the lengthened daylight hours, by 8 o'clock at night I am just wiped out! Last night I was going to sit down...
The Great March Meltdown
Hello everyone. If you are a lover of snow, I am sorry because if you listen outside you will hear the snow calling out like the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz after Dorothy dumped a bucket of water on her... "I'm melting!!!!" Yes, we are loosing more...
Sunday's in Ann Arbor with Amy
Hello everyone! Well, it has been a whirlwind weekend for me with Lucy, errr - Sandy (who really needs to get a blog!). And, it ended on a high note with a visit to the Ann Arbor Library to hear Amy Singer speak about No Sheep For You or knitting with something...
No more Marvin!
Yes, that is correct - I can wrap up my tenure with Michigan's Unemployment Voice Activated Services - or "You can call me Marvin". This is no longer The Home for the Unemployed!! Yes, you read that right - last night I got the phone call from MetroHealth and they...
E is for energized!
and by the end of the day it will stand for EMPLOYED! Or at least I hope it will - I know I have a job, but I am waiting for HR to get the paperwork together. Until I have that, I am in a bit of limbo, but that is alright with me. Yes, that is right - yesterday I...
With my nose to the grind stone
Hello Everyone! Well, I am knitting and knitting and knitting - and there is a bit of spinning thrown in for balance. I wanted to show you my Totally Tubular Edge - it is just so cool, dudes! Thank you Ysolda! As you can see I am working away on Gretel. I am...

Sandy and Kat's Excellent Adventure!
Or Not All Fast Food Is Created Equal. Whew, are you caught up from my whirl wind post from yesterday? Just when you thought you had your feet back on the ground here I come to send it all whirling again! One of the things we picked up at Kim Clare's Farm and Woolery...
D is for Decadence
It's been a wild week here at the Home for the Unemployed! Much fun and merriment. Maybe a bit too much fun and merriment as you will see below. So, I have this friend - Sandy has no blog and she recently had surgery, thus having a bit of time off from work. Sandy...
Cha-cha-cha-changes…
Boy - two days in a row and both of them musical! From ABBA to Bowie (or at least I think that is right!)... that about explains my life in the last 2 days. Yeah... well, let me catch you all up on what's up. Okay - interviewed at the nursing/senior living home - I...
Missing you, missing me
Okay, have you called out the blog search dogs? Yes, I have been MIA for a bit. Funny how hard it is to blog when you have been away for a few days. Don't worry, here at the Home for the Unemployed - we are still alive and kicking. I just had a brief sabbatical -...
Life takes a leap of faith

Giving up something for Lent?
Make mine snow, please. Yes, I will suffer through and give up snow for Lent. I know, it will be difficult, but I will try and persevere! Yeah. I know. I'll let you all know how that works! Well, in the reality of things, we have gotten volumes of snow this year...
