Grumpy Kludges

Our internet service provider sucks (I'm looking at you Wild Blue). Apparently we live in an area so "remote" that the only internet service out here is via satellite. We live 10 minutes from a very nice suburban housing area and 20 from a major metropolitan city. And yet we can't even get dial up. Granted the telephone wiring in this house probably hasn't been updated since the house was built in the 70's and probably couldn't handle dial up to begin with... We would still like the option though.

Keep 'um busy Cinderelli

I thought I had published this post earlier this week, but apparently not. Forgetful Knotted. So... Yeah... It has been a really busy week or so for us in the Knotted household. The Princess got a last minute invite for her friend's, the Twins, 3rd birthday. So we had 2 days to either buy or make a gift for two children.

Fixing A Broken Tape Measure Tutorial

My cheap little sewing tape measure keeps auto disassembling at the slightest bump. Its easy to fix if you have a basic understanding of how springs and tension work.

What a tangled mess.

Shots, Binges, and a Declaration of War

Its been an busy week for the Knotted family. The Princess had her two year check-up and vaccinations. She did AMAZING when it came to the vaccination! Seriously, I put her on the table and held my breath. Everyone braced for the usual scream and flailing, but she just gave the two technicians a quizzical untrusting look. In went the needle and all she did was blink. Not a tear was shed. She even gave both of the technicians high fives before we left!
