Back for another round
Aug. 20th, 2007 02:36 pmSooo...today is the first day of obligation--both required meetings were more than an hour shorter than previous years. This is a good sign.
Now, what I really want to write about--the minutia of everyday life.
( The Weekend )
Tomorrow I will work. Now, it's off to the post office to mail the wretched "work I didn't want to do," pick up some groceries, and home to puppies and kitties and the rest of my morning tea. Don't ask.

Still no FO pics
Jul. 18th, 2007 10:22 amFinished the first sock using the Sensational Socks book and the self-striping yarn from the wonderful, just-past-natal-anniversary Linda. Have started the second sock, but now the question is which "pair" to finish first: Endpaper Mitts? Wine and Roses Mitts? Socks? Ah--decisions, decisions.
What? Pennsic garb you say? In the words of Isaac Hayes: "Shut yo mouth!"

Random bits
Jun. 27th, 2007 10:12 am--I don't remember meeting her. My first memory of her is in our house, going to the porch with my husband for a long talk.
Now, on holidays, secular and sacred, when she is not there I feel her absence.
Happy birthday, dear one. See you in 10 days.
--Well, looks like the socks are for me. The Sensational Socks book requires more math than I like, but seems to work. Yay!
--Ping is doing his summer hair loss, which is a bit...disturbing. Semi-naked pug! (Feels just a little creepy to pick him up since the hair loss is mostly lower half. Weird.)
--Am going to try to talk the fighters into going to Pax without me. I love the event, but every little penny counts right now. A bit over a grand on the Neon last month, and now the Century has to go in (inspection, tires, oil change, strange rattle...). And then there's the dentist, the taxes....
--It was a blessing to go to the calling hours and have the family so...Welsh. I felt right at home. The Browns are more woven into the fabric of our histories than we sometimes realize, but seeing Mark, Debbie, and Arwen brought it all home. However, where the hell does Marcello get off looking so young???!!!!!

Well, that explains it
Mar. 19th, 2007 08:31 pmSoooo...Eunny Jang is the new editor of Interweave Knits. That explains the all but non-existant blog posts.
Yet another reason to hate the svelte, pretty, young, talented cook and knitting designer.
Crap. Now I bet she'll never post. And does that mean we have to wait even loooonnngggeeerrr for her book? If so, double crap.

Another wasted night
Oct. 18th, 2006 11:13 amSpent too much money on yarn yesterday, but I may have what I need to make more prezzies. Some are little and take only two nights, which rocks.
Am trying the next stage to sockiness, so I bought some sportweight yarn I can wear and decided to use myself as a guinea pig. So far so good, but, of course, I haven't gotten to the tricky bits yet. However, the cabled top looks okay (and how can anything look bad in bright peacock?). Probably I won't get to anything else until Friday night since I have Eastern Star both tonight and tomorrow night. Sigh.
I wish I could embroider as fast as I knit. Snarl.
Oddly enough, wearing blacks, browns and greys exclusively this week is helping me deal. There is something to these mourning rituals after all.
