Better Me

shizknit — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:42:01 +0000

I’m a little late in making resolutions, but I do plan on doing something this year. I never start my resolutions until Chinese New Year (for good reason I assure you), which is January 23rd this year (somebody fact check me with the lunar calendar). I have some time to decide on what I’m going [...]

Both Sides of the Fence

shizknit — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:47:42 +0000

I was inspired to write about my thoughts after I read a post from John Shore’s website called What Non-Christians Want to Hear shared via Facebook from a friend. This is probably going to be the most thought-provoking thing I will post on the internet. Then I will go back to whining about my problems [...]

Reblogged from Reasonably Ludicrous: Disclaimer: Let it be known that this has nothing to do with my relatives. Those guys are awesome! (Oh, and if you don’t enjoy reading words, click here to skip ahead to the pictorial guide) It’s that time of year again, when bundles of joy are placed beneath the tree, then [...]

Mean Wives

shizknit — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:23:56 +0000

I was overhearding/witnessing a conversation at work a few weeks ago about how certain past and current employees have mean wives. I think “brow beating” was one of the words to describe the husband’s treatment. I know a few mean wives but I’m not sure what justifies the behavior. I’ve seen how they speak to [...]

WTF is this?

I was looking for a possible leak in the house be because we were informed by the water company of some significant usage. Luckily I still had my shoes on because I ran into this. WTF?! It looks like a straight pin with the top broken off. I’m keeping my shoes on the rest of [...]

There’s No Degree of Guilty

shizknit — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 00:55:14 +0000

I don’t agree with any of what happened in the Penn State scandal and I don’t believe in supporting one party over the other involved. But I do think that if some people are going to ridicule someone’s name, they need to do the same for all guilty people. I hear a lot of people [...]

Reviving My Love For Chunky Knitting Again

shizknit — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:55:03 +0000

Every winter season, I pull out my big collection of chunky yarn and make something quick. It’s the only time I can wear the stuff without sweating myself to death. But I’ve pulled out an old pattern I intended on doing but haven’t thought about again. Because someone like me needs another chunky hat [sarcasm]. [...]

When Life Gives You a Dog

shizknit — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:10:15 +0000

Yesterday was a boring day for me that ended up as a big day. I was at work, boringly going through everything and my boyfriend, J, sends me an IM asking if I can stop by his house after work. He says that his neighbor called him about his dog, Mac, and he’s going crazy [...]

My First JewelMint Purchase

Oh, snap! I did a video haul. I think I’m starting to revert back to when I was 17 and showing off my swag. If any of you want to join JewelMint, click here. It’s definitely worth looking at because a lot of their jewelry is unique.

What Makes a Marriage Last?

shizknit — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:32:23 +0000

I grew up in a very traditional family that values the union of marriage and the strength of our family. Though we don’t always enjoy each other’s company all the time, we have an understood love that is cherished and protected. Divorce is not common in our family but when it happens, we know it [...]
