List Day!

• There were four cars at the bar this morning
• It was also pouring rain
• I have one more inch to go before I start the toe on Grilltech's sock
• I've started the thumb gusset on my first mitt
• I should have three of them knit by now, I've started it twice now
• My computer has been updated, now I can't see the internet
• Stupid proxies, once they've been reset I'll be able to surf
• Yesterday we watched the neighbor's dog Speedy and Havac playing
• Havac is about 1/3rd the size of Speedy, it was way cute
• Grilltech made THE BEST chicken last night
• We're having soup on Saturday
• Fourth reboot of the day and it's only 0630
• I'm back on the internet
• The air conditioning is on in here
• I've started the toe
• odd, turns out the Gnome really isn't a demon
• Convert and BBQer about died from laughing so hard
• I'd have to say as a team no one is looking at the For All to Read folder because I found something that was misfiled four days ago
• Which means complaints about stuff being filed wrong will increase
• Whew, last night's couscous got hotter today
• There was something I was thinking I wanted from the LYS, but right now I can't remember what it was
• Grilltech has offered to get me a scale that posts to twitter
• I've declined that awesome gesture
• I guess I could get it, I don't twitter
• There is snow in the foot hills, rumor has it, the snow might make it down here in the valley on Friday
• Ick, not ready for snow
• My sunstone showed up today

Monday, Monday

I am not having a good morning. Did not want to get out of bed this early. Wanted to stay and get more quality sleep time. Was three minutes late to work this morning, okay that's not so bad. On the desk this morning there was a letter from the cow-orker stating the other machine wasn't on the network and she had put in a ticket to get it fixed. I could log on to another machine and work from it. Hum, no, I can't. I have specialized software on my machine, so I can't run my morning reports. Convert called in sick, so she isn't here to run them either. My admin password isn't working, so I can't move the files from her profile to mine so I can run them on her machine. I think I'd like to go home and go back to bed.

BO came in and got me back to the network about 15 minutes after I asked Troll to run the downloads. I'm having a fun day. On the plus side, Wednesday is a holiday.

The Alpaca is software and colorful. The pattern looks pretty sweet on it. When I do pictures later this week, hopefully I'll have one completed. I have been making progress on the blanket. Very slow progress, but it's progress.

I finally got out of the datamine almost 1.5 hours later. Bed is calling, not sure if I'll do any knitting, but I'll think about it.

List Day!

• There were six cars at the bar this morning
• In the long straight stretch, someone hit a skunk
• Today is knit day down at the LYS
• Lace Knitter (LK) asked the best way to get there from here
• Yesterday I brought my big coat and didn't really need it
• Today I brought a light jacket and wished I brought my heavier one
• It appears the report is back to taking a long time to run
• Long time is both good and bad
• It appears it was a bad long time, the report failed
• So now I have to run it again and in smaller batches
• We watched V last night, WTF? What is up with the TV IN THE BATHROOM?
• I won't allow Grilltech to have one in the bedroom, much less the bathroom
• I gave away my fingerless mitts to Redheaded Knitter (RK), because she didn't have any and her hands were like ice
• I'm thinking about pulling out the killer alpaca and making myself some mitts
• Doing something different, spending more time getting set up then working
• I've got a guy sitting in the bay across from me who is shaking my desk
• I loathe that
• The job I'm doing, pretty boring - and the monkey pushes the button
• Dessert?
• Knitted for a while, now I'm pretty much too tired to anything
• I did find the alpaca
• I really need to go start dinner
• But, no Amy has sucked me into yummy, yummy hot guys video's

Best comment ever?

Perky: Mom, you should rise the bowl instead of letting it sit for three days!

I about died laughing.

Catch Up

On Sunday I took pictures of my pretties.

First up, is the final package from my Secret Pal:

Some awesome sock yarn, love the colors. Size one bamboo's, which will come in handy when I wear out the metal ones on the blanket. A bit of left over sock yarn, that she made me a great pair of socks out of. The socks weren't in the picture because they were in the washer since I had worn them. They're great! Thank you Pal!

Of course, no photo shoot is complete unless I have a cat over seeing my work. Uggy managed to make it three feet out of the house. Saw that I looked her way, and back in she went.


Peaches on the other hand, settled in on the warm bricks to watch.


While thinking of my next big "project" I pulled out the pink frilly yarn for D's requested scarf. I think I have enough left over for a hat, trying to decide if I really want to put myself through that.


Two weeks ago this coming Friday before I had finished Grilltech's vest, a package from Donna Lee showed up. She sent a box of yarn. It sat on the coffee table until I had finished the vest, because of Roxie's proclamation.


Roxie had also sent me a package of sock yarns, which I didn't have to wait a day and a half to open.


I dumped them together on a towel. That's one huge pile of yarn!


I have the best friends ever!

List Day - Double Shot!

• Counted five cars at the bar this morning
• The half full moon was a lovely shade of peach and lovely to look at before it disappeared behind the horizon
• Saw another meteor falling this morning, it was more grayish than green
• I think it was due to the cloud cover
• DQ is trying to fall asleep at the switch
• There is a lace knitter in training (at work not training to be a lace knitter), he wanted to know if he could knit on the floor
• Told him, I didn't have a problem with it, I did - however - point out his supervisor may have something to say about it
• Honey at our age the sexy maid outfit complete with the blackfish nets shouldn't be worn in public; even if you are rail thin
• The Gnome doesn't read his e-mails otherwise he'd know why the server was being rebooted often
• The fans sound like rain, but it's not raining outside
• While coming out of knitting today, I found a 20 on the ground
• I took it home with me because it needed a good home and mine is good as any
• If you lost the 20, send me an email describing it and I'll get it in the mail to you ASAP
• There were eight cars in the parking lot on the drive home
• I think I'm going to to knit more

List Day!

• Roxie, you're killing me at work


• I did laugh hysterically then asked Grilltech to come up with a list

• Went and knitted with Red after work


• It was a lot of fun
• Now I'm starving and nuking the salamon for dinner


• Thank God for the food saver, it's more than paid for itself

1000 Words

Such a distint lack of trust on the part of some people... Of course, I am a spy, so I don't always play by the rules. So here we go:

No photo shoot would be complete without a supervisor, Fran decided it was up to her again.


I didn't get the biohazard buttons, or any Fima to make them.


Its done.


But some people won't be satified with a picture of it on the deck. Fine.


Last weekend, I tried it on to see how it would look and Grilltech gets a worried look on his face. It's not going to fit me! I think it fits him fine.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I finished it at 1619!!

List Day!

• There was one car at the bar this morning
• A black and white kitty crossed five lanes of traffic in front of me
• The fact I was the only car on the road is irrelevant
• Grilltech's vest should be done by this weekend
• Except, I don't have buttons for it
• A new addiction to take more time away from knitting
• I think I'm going to go exchange the 24 inch size 0's for a 32 inch, the 24's are too small
• It appears to be the day of failed reports
• Which makes my job much more difficult
• Day is half over!
• I'm having to ask Grilltech how to do percentage questions
• Then I double check my answers by looking it up on the internet
• Yes, it is a kids site, but it works - and NO BIG WORDS
• I've got 30 minutes left in my day and I'm out of water been that way for about 20 minutes now
• I still reach over and grab my cup to take a drink
• Damn, I've got to run another eight reports
• And I'm still out of water
• I want to get Grilltech biohazard buttons for his vest, but I can't find any
• I suppose I could pay through the nose and have them made
• Then that vest would really be EXPENSIVE
• My weekend is started, have fun everyone
