Don’t ask me about Olympia. Not now. I’m too tired. I need to go to bed.
Let’s just say that I may have to pull an Eric Liddell from the 1924 Olympics – not b/c of conviction or principle, but b/c I’m completely insane to think I’ll be able to knit Olympia in 16 days. I’ve lost my mind. Plus, I might not have enough yarn. Plus, I’m crazy.

Got a call yesterday that Teacher Sarah was still sick, so Thing Two would have no school on Tuesday. Had a brilliant idea that we should take advantage of the weather and go to the zoo.

I hate taking my kids to the park, too. Anyhow, we had a blast. More pictures here.

The challenge we’ve been given for February is “all of me” — as in, “the dark side, the ugly side, the raw and dirty and clumsy side, the grim, the grimy and saggy side”, too.
So, here goes. Click on “Read More” to see this week’s picture…if you dare.
Beyond this point, there be monsters.
The rolls…
