Em got off to school just fine. She opted to wear her pink and white striped slip-on shoes, which are too small, but I let it go. If she wants to keep wearing them we can get a new pair, assuming they’re still in stores now that summer’s over. As we pulled up, she said, “I am too excited for the first day!” in a very happy way. Here’s hoping that bodes well.<\/p>\n

\nBehold! This is the 22-quart stainless steel Tramontina stock pot<\/a> that my mother got me for Christmas so I’d have something big to dye in. I’m calling her Big Tina. The stockpot, not my mother. I’m test-driving this baby with some Cascade 220 superwash wool. It’ll be a fun experiment. This one will be stovetop, but I foresee a time when I borrow my husband’s propane burner he uses in brewing (did I mention that my husband is an award-winning homebrewer?) and dye outside over an open flame.<\/p>\n

But now, it’s time to break for lunch. And play some tunes. Why? Because if I want to crank up Commie Drives a Nova<\/a> by Ike Reilly I can do it, as there are no tender young things walking around to potentially scar for life. School rules!
