Pasta PrimaveraFrom Cooking Light May 2007This recipe is a winner. I’ve made it twice this week (halved), providing me a dinner with leftovers. I use fat-free half & half and throw in some spinach with the tomatoes for good measure. I haven’t made it with “real” half & half, and I suspect that it thickens [...]

Relief
by Amy on 28. Aug, 2007 in My Every Day
I’m really hoping the interviewers were not distracted by the ginormous zit on the side of my face, which I so very carefully tried to cover with my hair. I can honestly say that this interview went better than possibly any other interview I have ever had, except for one of my recent ones where [...]
Famous family sighting
by Amy on 26. Aug, 2007 in Home & Style
So I’m just minding my own business, doing some knit blog surfing, and I come across this entry on a site. Lo and behold, my cousin Suzanne is modeling the Michael Kors cape! This happens all the time, though I hadn’t seen her in print for awhile. Then again, I don’t read as many magazines [...]
Feeling memey

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland “You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston [...]
These are the days for knitting from one’s stash
by Amy on 22. Aug, 2007 in Home & Style
At the beginning of 2007 I said I would not buy any yarn, unless it was for knitting a gift, or maybe for a pair of socks. I’ve done pretty well, with the only yarn purchased being some cheap cotton yarn for some dishcloths (which have been gifted, mostly) and today’s purchase, two skeins of [...]
POS
by Amy on 21. Aug, 2007 in My Every Day
My second powerbook adapter just bit the dust. Well, it almost started the bed on fire. So I had to order a new one, and the blessed shipping cost more than the adapter. I really want a new Macbook Pro, but I don’t want to torch this one. Not yet. Big news is a job [...]
Fat finger update
by Amy on 17. Aug, 2007 in My Every Day
Our internet connection has been jacked for two days. I’ll write as long as I can stand punching Treo keys with my fat fingers. Have to go pick up the BF’s son in St. Paul, which means a weekend trip to The Big City, which is cool. I need a vacation from all of this [...]
Rolling, rolling, rolling
by Amy on 11. Aug, 2007 in My Every Day
I have a tendency to roll my ankles outward when I run at times. I credit the fact that typically the initial ouch fading after a few minutes to what I think are some pretty damn strong ankles. Nowadays kids strap on braces and tape but when I was a kid and played sports? Hell [...]
Starting Over
by Amy on 09. Aug, 2007 in Home & Style, My Every Day
When I started this sweater, I joked that it was The Laid Off Sweater. I thought it would be a good gauge of how long I stayed jobless. I received my copy of IK on Monday and was casting on before going to bed. My only real obligations for the next two days were running, [...]

It’s Day Three of being between jobs and I’m already going nuts. Newman is barking at everything and nothing. I’m not sure if it’s the heat or what. It doesn’t help that Tobie is also stirring at every little sound (because she’s a big chickenshit), which then sets off Newman. I figured a road trip [...]
Bears and new beginnings
by Amy on 01. Aug, 2007 in My Every Day
I started the first official day of being in between jobs by getting up at 5AM to run 7 miles with the BF. There was some comfort knowing that there were no rules to abide by, no conference calls to join, no reports to run by a certain time of day. We picked a route [...]
