I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

After yesterday’s post I was TENSE. I had a very low mood all weekend and tons and tons of work to do still couldn’t get my neck and shoulder muscles to calm down so I could work.
So since I am prone to severe anxiety I decided I am going to start doing things about it. [...]
That’s it, I’m adding a Politics category. Sorry guys. I just can’t get off the soapbox.
Today’s issue: The House rejects the bailout bill. I think I almost went out and danced in the streets upon hearing that. And then my heart started racing and my adrenaline started rushing as I began fretting about the fact [...]

Full Disclosure: The knitting suburb of Blogland seems to be a land of endless enthusiasm and generosity where you put a smile on your face… or else.
There are no smiles beyond the cut. Only probably incoherent ramblings.
A Gallup poll in 1999 revealed that 18% of poll respondents—183 people of 1,012—believe the sun revolves around the Earth. I THOUGHT WE RESOLVED THIS ISSUE IN THE 1600s???

Friday: 85F out and no interesting thoughts in my head.
So I found a meme. Okay, I butchered a meme. Same difference. Zeh BRILLANTE Rebee suffered to receive another “I love your weblog” award, but this one came with a twist: gotta answer questions with one-word answers. Got it. Love the idea. It’s miiiine.
1. Where is [...]
Today I had a vegan lunch. After reading Chile’s post about veg*nism, I went on to read the site she linked, which said that basically you should have a starch as your focal point and embellish with vegetables. Also, “white” starches are nutrition-less. So instead of white jasmine rice with my stir-fry I had steamed [...]
