i will be a better person today...

i am not someone who is big into new year's resolutions... they are too easy to break, and often times, too specific. most people want to lose weight, stop smoking, travel somewhere exotic...

but this year, at this moment, i am making a resolution to myself...


I will be a better person today than I was yesterday.


i am hoping to be able to keep this resolution, not only for this year, but forever.

give me my space!!!

i believe that when you live with someone, be it a significant other or just a roomate, that everyone deserves a little bit of their own space. it can be a whole room, or in the case of a dorm room in college, a corner where your desk is. but no matter what, that is your space to do with what you please, to keep as clean or as dirty (but not endangering the health of others) as you like.

i currently live in a 250+ year-old farm house in the Philly area. it is a really nice house, stone walls and a fireplace, but with all the modern ammenities like satelite tv and a bathroom on the 2nd floor. in addition to all these great things, is a fully finished attic space that spans the entire house. one half is currently used for storage of boxes and some old clothes, but up until recently, this space was where my husband and his friends would hang out and play video games. this was a perfect arrangement! he had his space to do with as he pleased, and i got to watch directv with tivo downstairs in the living room with no one to bother me... his space, attic, my space, living room...

and this was all great, until...

he got a Playstation3!!

now, the tv in the attic wasn't good enough... he needed the better tv and the sound system, which reside in the living room. he had to put the PS3 downstairs! but, he and his friends still occationally hang out in the attic when they aren't playing video games. and where do i go? tonight, i've been sitting at our kitchen table with my knitting. which really isn't so bad, but i would really like to catch up on my tivo'ed shows while knitting...

give me my space!!!!

if he wants to keep the PS3 downstairs, that's fine, but then I want the attic... wait, the attic doesn't have satellite or tivo! and the attic is covered in his posters!

need solution before I go crazy! please help!

mea copa... and a happy 2007 to everyone!

to quote fiona apple...

i've been a bad bad girl!

i know i haven't posted since 2006, july 2006... i know i have left many people wondering, "has stacy fallen off the face of the earth?" and the answer is... NO, but i've been a bit busy.

there has been baking going on, but nothing noteworth to speak of.

there has been a lot of knitting, and a few things to speak of, including my first ever baby sweater!

but this post is to apologize, and to make a new year's resolution... i will try to be better about posting. i will try not to abandon my blog after only a few months of writing. i will try to keep everyone apraised of what is going on in my life... i will try!
