Don't Waste Your Time Searching for Those Wasted Years

OK - I'm obsessed. Two of my mates have used the word "stalker". I still contend that five Maiden shows in 5 months, with 3 of them coming within four days of each other, and the 5th only two weeks later in another country is NOT anything special. As a matter of fact, I lag way behind most 28 year Maiden fans. Yes, I've been listening to them nearly thirty years and I've not even seen them live

July 4th Part Two

I realized: I DONT HAVE A SHARPIE ON ME!!! Not that this is important in the grand scheme of things. It's just that I normally have a Sharpie at the ready. Just in case.Oyster Cards are lovely things. They cap at L6.50 or so if you are running around all day. This is a good thing as that's cheaper than a day pass of L6.80. Met up with D at the Tower of London. Someone on the IMOFC boards "

Vintage Chenille Quilt

Ta-da! I accomplished a project while being 9 months pregnant and with a broken elbow! A quilt made from vintage chenille bedspreads. I love how these turn out-- so soft and cuddly!

So I headed into the city, as Queen Mary College is way East end (how funny! but no Albert Square nearby) to find the infamous London Free Wi-Fi!

I know it had only been three months since I saw them last, but dag nabbit they put on a great show. The set list was the same as the Meadowlands - come on, Iron Maiden do NOT change their set list! lol I generally rocked out and

A Farwell to Arms

I canceled my WoW subscription today.''bout time,' some of you may be thinking. ...actually, my guess is that you don't think about that at all. And that's okay. But I do.Due to our need for Health Insurance, I took a new job. The job is pretty cool, but now I devote twice as much time to it than I was working before. That's a pretty big change in lifestyle. My income has also changed. But I

Baby Gifts

I love making baby gifts! I was so excited when my sister Lexie got pregnant so that I could finally make some baby gifts for my side of the family. What a bummer that I then broke my elbow and can't seem to accomplish any of the tasks I had planned. But maybe she will just get them a little late.I have enjoyed making gifts for my sisters-in-laws as well. Kendi will make 9 grandbabies on
