Omnium-gatherum and perhaps some olio: February 2009
http://one-mippippippi.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Omnium-gatherum and perhaps some olio. A blog of miscellany and random thoughts -all the things that interest me or catch my attention for a little while anyway. We'll cover everything from Harry Potter and Led Zeppelin to Burnout: Paradise and Farscape. Monday, February 23, 2009. Here's my beef: Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Everyone I know who's seen it had said "it's okay.it's good, but." Everyone I know who saw Dark Knight? That was totally wicked! The Academy really really really needs to get awa...

Not Just a Mom: July 2009
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Sunday, July 26, 2009. The princess and I are getting ready to go on our inaugural girl trip. She's old enough to be a fun travel buddy, and I want to take advantage of her desire to do girl things with just the two of us. Apparently part of this trip will require the wearing of matching t-shirts, so we bought bright pink shirts and will write on them with glittery purple paint. Not just a mom. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. So - we Google Chromed. Now, ...

Not Just a Mom: June 2009
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Monday, June 29, 2009. Looking For My Calm. Usually I love homeschooling; these days I'm rethinking my position. The princess is screeching, the smiling child is in tears, the middle child is questioning everything I say. And we're pretty much stuck inside for most of the day. It's too hot to take them to the pool; cause the pool has no shade, and like I said, it's HOT. We'd all be burned to a crisp within minutes. Not just a mom. Today the mailman ...

Not Just a Mom: When Your World is Spinning, Make Yarn
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009/01/when-your-world-is-spinning-make-yarn.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Friday, January 30, 2009. When Your World is Spinning, Make Yarn. I've always been fascinated by spinning wheels. Not really sure why, but I love them. In October I had the opportunity to watch someone spin on a drop spindle, and I was smitten. Thanks to craigslist, I got a really great deal on a barely used spinning wheel. So, now I spin with drop spindles and with my wheel. Actually, I mainly use the wheel to ply. Not just a mom.

Not Just a Mom: Socks and Such
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009/06/socks-and-such.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Monday, June 15, 2009. I finished my Anni. Socks for the month - Lazy Leaves. The pattern was leaves, and since I had green yarn, I went with it. Love the socks, but since it's heading into the depths of summer, I won't be able to wear them for months. The one and only benefit, as I see it, to the extreme heat is that my lovely wool socks will last a lifetime. Also, Saturday was Knit in Public Day. So we went to Yarnorama. I've started knitting sock...

Not Just a Mom: Choose Your Colors Wisely
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009/06/choose-your-colors-wisely.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Choose Your Colors Wisely. I admit it - I'm a sock knitting junkie. I always have a pair of socks going at home, and also like to have a pair of socks to take along with me so that I can knit when I'm waiting. Take along socks have to have an easy to memorize, yet fun to knit pattern. My current take along pattern is Pablo Blue. The pattern is great - several rows of pattern, but it makes perfect sense and is easy to remember.

Not Just a Mom: Socks, Yarn and The Heat of the Sun
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009/06/socks-yarn-and-heat-of-sun.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Socks, Yarn and The Heat of the Sun. I finished the socks that I've been thinking about for two years. The picture doesn't do them justice. The colors are so rich, and it was mesmerizing to watch the colors change. Each time a new color would show up I thought it was the best color there was; then the next color would show up. Since I spent more money on this yarn. And, may I say, it's HOT. Not just a mom. Looking For My Calm.

Not Just a Mom: How I Came To Be 31
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-i-came-to-be-31.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Monday, June 8, 2009. How I Came To Be 31. For years I told my kids that I was 29. It was a joke, they knew it, I knew it; but somehow it made me feel younger. That is until the princess learned about birthdays. Two years ago, the princess realized that on birthdays you become a year older. Until that time, this concept had eluded her; but after her 4th birthday she knew. All was well until my. Mom is 31 and Thor is 25? In the mean time, the.

Not Just a Mom: When You're Hot, You're Hot
http://fourboysandaprincess.blogspot.com/2009/06/when-youre-hot-youre-hot.html
Not Just a Mom. It's Not Just a Job: It's An Adventure. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. When You're Hot, You're Hot. Between this insufferable, stifling heat and my hot flashes, I spend most of the day and night wilting. Staying inside with a bunch of active kids doesn't work for long, so I need to find some creative ways to keep cool and give the kids the energy buster they need. What happened to the summers of my youth? I used to spend most of the day outside. Were the summers cooler? Yesterday we watched "T...
