Y.O. In The House: February 2013
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
YO In The House. Sunday, February 24, 2013. I just watched the Les Miserables performance on the Oscar and I was amazed by all the people who I never thought of as singers. Actors, yes. Singers, no. As an aside, Russell Crowe was not one of them as my friend Kathleen dragged my sorry ass to Philadelphia once to see his band. Today, I couldn't stop singing. I sang "The Witchita Line Man". I sang "Bang Bang". I sang AC/DC, Tanya Tucker, Kiss, and everything in between. A long time ago at the end of a long ...

Y.O. In The House: December 2013
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
YO In The House. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Merry Christmas (and here's why). Merry Christmas to all! I love Christmas for a lot of reasons. Has it become totally commercialized? But right now, I'm talking about Christmas. One of the reasons that I love Christmas is that you can celebrate it for so many reasons. Then there is the purely secular Christmas. There are also quite a few people who do not follow the Christian faith and who aren't at all interested in a guy who lived thousands of years ago...

Y.O. In The House: July 2014
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
YO In The House. Sunday, July 27, 2014. To Swatch or Not to Swatch. Lately I 've been swatching. Actually, I've been swatching a lot. There are a few reasons for this. First, my friend BadCat. Book New Vintage Lace. I've been looking at it for a while trying to figure out what to do with it and finally settled on a Honey Cowl. So I swatched. I cast on with US 8 needles and then gave it a really good wash. I've also been trying to get my. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Yes, the second sock for all of them on ar...

YO In The House. Sunday, July 6, 2014. Happy Interdependence Day- A Day Late. A few years back, I declared July 5th Interdependence Day. Although I did celebrate, I never actually got around to posting about it. So here we go! Here's what I am think this year for my Interdependence Day resolution (you all make those, right? Here are 10 easy things to do that won't cost you anything (or much):. 1 Hold the door. 2 Hold the elevator (that's a biggie for me). 3 Greet people, even strangers, when you see them.

Y.O. In The House: Own It
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2015/07/own-it.html
YO In The House. Monday, July 27, 2015. This post will be short, sweet and to the point. I have read a tremendous amount from really thoughtful, smart people on both sides of the conversation about race. Among them, I have only read one person who suggested any action points but all of them were external (hang a sign, vote, etc.). 1 I will stop referring to people by their race. How many times have you had this conversation? I know I've had it a million times. "Hey, do you know Dave? Yeah, so I described...

Y.O. In The House: March 2013
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
YO In The House. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. There Is No Such Thing. Let's make on thing perfectly clear here. There is no such thing as gay marriage. It is just marriage. And here in the U.S. it is quite simply a contractual agreement that two consenting adults enter into. That's it. And the rules say that you can't discriminate against someone in a contractual agreement. Done. And guess what, I think it's great when people who get married actually love each other and are sexually attracted to each other&#...

YO In The House. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Mitt Romney is a carny. See here's what any good carny will tell you is the key to a successful pitch- a good bally and then distract the marks! Yes sir, yes sir, step right up and see the giant! Nine feet ten inches tall (never mind that the guy is six foot six). Then they'll be pointing out the fine quality stuffed bears on the top shelf that you could win- yessiree! And here's what Mitt Romney did. The internet was on fire! Distraction at its finest. It's ...

Y.O. In The House: Very Soxy
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2014/07/very-soxy.html
YO In The House. Thursday, July 10, 2014. It's too hot to knit anything but socks. I have this lovely pile of single socks that has been staring at me, tears of loneliness running down their pretty little gussets. But alas, they are all still single. Yes, the second sock for all of them on are on the needles and are all getting done but this one in particular needs to be finished. I got up to get something to drink and now it's gone. Dagnabit! Isn't she a beauty? Gracey is not my name. 11 minutes of your...

Y.O. In The House: June 2012
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
YO In The House. Sunday, June 17, 2012. My old man is funny. He's been telling the same jokes for years and they still make me laugh. One of his favorite things in the world is those special Daddy/Daughter moments when he sets up a joke and I drive it home. Especially if it's a dirty joke. His reply was, "She doesn't know what a medieval whore house is but she still thinks it's funny." My mom shrugged her shoulders and left us alone. My old man rarely swears. But when he does, you know he means it...

Y.O. In The House: September 2012
http://yointhehouse.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
YO In The House. Monday, September 17, 2012. I'm working on a really pretty piece of knitting. The pattern is amazing, the yarn is beyond gorgeous and I am having such fun just tootling along on it. Suffice it to say that row 58 can suck it. Big time. In the very middle of the row the instructions say this:. Purl 7 together leaving them on the needle. Yarn over and then purl the same 7 together again. Repeat this 3 times. Do you have any idea how effing hard that is! Tight like my Aunt Geraldine at an af...
