Up and Running

My computer is back up and running. Instead of good ol' familiar XP, I got an upgrade to Window$ 7. For several days, I had lost all my emails. Grilltech being the amazing wonderful bestest tech and husband got it back for me. Mentioned something about make a PST file so this won't happen again, but who listens?

I finished a hat for my parents. Still need to work on the gloves. Also, since Grilltech is being so amazing wonderful, I should finish up his blanket. Plus today is the last day of the 20% off sale at the LYS, so I should swing by there and pick up the yarn I need to finish his blanket.

Since the server is now back on line, I can post pictures of my FO's. But I'm a slacker and will get to it some other day.

Busy

Grilltech is the bestest husband ever. Today we moved out two old desks and a dresser. Moved in a new - heavier - desk to the back storage room. Pulled out large table in the kitchen and put the small round one in it's place.

Now it's time to rest. Might even knit once my arm stops throbbing.

The Dead Pool

On Saturday night, a storm blew through the area. It knocked out the power in our section of town - some places are still without power. My computer lost it's power supply. Sunday Grilltech spent most of the day troubleshooting the issue. Finally he pulled the hard drive out of my system and put it in the almost completed new server. So the old server which has a fan going out in it, has to last another two or three weeks.

Grilltech finally was able to get his iPhone 4. We offered his old one to the Eldest. It was going to be a couple of days before she could make it over to pick it up, so the phone floated around his desk. I picked it up and put it on top of one of computer books sitting on the arm of his chair. I heard a thunk, noticed both the book and phone where gone. I assumed both landed on the floor. Turns out the book was on the floor and the old phone went into his glass of water. We're still waiting to see if it will work or not.

I'm going to bed before anything else dies.

Clean House

The guys showed up and is hauling stuff away. I almost feel bad about just pointing and saying this needs to go away.

Almost, but I'll get over it. Maybe I'll go block my shawl.

Pictures

Havoc's new hair cut. I think he looks uber cute.

I finished another shawl. Another Haruni. Not quite as big as the first one, but pretty close. It still needs to be blocked, maybe this weekend.

I'm back to working on Grilltech's blanket.

Worst Mommy Ever!

Lured the cats out of the bedroom by getting out good food, then went back and shut them out while I made the bed. Every animal in the house is on good food alert.

I'm going to take Havoc out for a drag.

All Grown Up

The nest I've been watching is empty in the afternoons on the drive home. I think there is one Osprey hanging around the nest, won't really know until tomorrow morning.
