Ghosts of Halloween

Sweets

I am writing this as the ghosts of the Halloween party lay around me.The party went well this year, once more it got mostly left to the last minute, and once more there are promises that we will start earlier next year! Friday night we had a pre-party party, gathering friends around to carve pumpkins.. […]

Knitting Skulls

Sweets

8 months later I’m finally finished. I started this scarf for DmentD as a project after Christmas. It wouldn’t take long and then I could get started on teaching myself socks. After lots of picking it up and putting it down and having it sat of the coffee table staring at me… accusing me of […]

What A Load Of FUFF

Sweets

It’s that time of the year, when the sun swelters down upon us, and my legs are covered in a myriad of insect bites. DmentD’s work organises a boat trip. So out we trek to Lake Travis. This year they had enough people to hire two of the party barges and they were roped together […]

One Year On

This Saturday just passed (the 8th) DmentD and I celebrated our first anniversary. That’s right, a whole year has passed since we tied the knot, time flies!

Since I’m posting more over on Curious Confections most of the interesting stuff we’ve been up to has been written up over there. Techmunch was a fantastic day. I learnt plenty, that I’m trying to gradually put into practice. […]

Familial Visit

The last week in January saw my family braving the transatlantic flights to come and visit us here. Well, technically they flew the week prior and spent time in Florida having a good time. Deciding to drive from Florida to Austin we went to meet them in NOLA to spend the weekend there, letting my […]

It’s 2010 Already

Sweets

I’m sure someone promised me a hover car, or something along those lines, by now! I figured it was about time I got round to uploading photos and letting people know how the holidays went. I took far less photos this year, why take photos of decorations that I took photos of last year! We […]

December Update

Sweets

I’ve been lax I know, almost an entire month since my last post. December has apparently been a busy month. It started with a cake for the local Astronomy Society, swiftly followed by us inviting everyone round to put up Christmas decorations and feeding them with a giant bowl of chili. We’ve been doing some […]

Thanksgiving

Sweets

A much more leisurely trip this year we set off just after midday Wednesday to head to New Orleans for Thanksgiving. We did catch a lot of holiday traffic leaving town and then again in Houston, plus some roadworks so it took us til 11 to get there. We got a little rental car to […]
