List Day
- There were two cars at the bar this morning

- Yes, you read that right
- Today is a crappy Monday. I've got a ton of catch up to do
- Swimming with C on Saturday at 0700

- Looks like Saturday will be busy

- Grilltech has a doctor's appointment today, so I'm leaving early
- Time to get the soup started, then it will be karate time
I'm a Dumbass...
I had jury duty again this week. I had to show up this time, which meant I had to be there at 0800. I took out Grilltech's socks because we're not suppose to have any knitting needles or crochet hooks at the court house. I dug out some wood DPNS and cotton yarn, put them into my bag because I'm not one to not have any knitting around.
I'm standing in line with my purse in the plastic bin. It goes through the X-ray machine while I walk through the metal detector, which goes off on me. I had to stand with my arm spread while the guard wands me. Mean while, my purse is sent through three times. I get sent over and the guard asks me to pull out my keys. I hand them to him, and the purse goes through again. He shakes his head tells me, there is something else in my purse. So I start digging and pull out a small knife. Fuck! I'm such a dumbass. He looks at me, gives me a lecture about not bringing weapons to the court house and since I was a juror he would be nice and hold it for me.
He then asks if I have any crochet hooks for the yarn in my purse. I look him straight in the eye and tell him, honestly Nope, no crochet hooks. He didn't notice the wood needles and I wasn't going to point them out.
Yip, I'm a lying dumbass but it was worth it.

Blah Monday
It's already the week before Memorial Day? Where did the week of the 13th go? Hell, since I'm asking where time went, might as well ask about the year 2011.
This Saturday is Baby Bird's fifth birthday. She'll be FIVE?! Already? Which means my birthday isn't that far away. Hopefully since I'm living in a time warp, this week will go by fast.
On Saturday, we went and saw my parents. I gave them their presents. D got her butterfly earrings, which she loved (late Mother's day). Dad got his birthday present the vest and an early Father's day present; the complete set of The Greatest American Hero. The vest could have used a bit longer arm holes, but it still fit and he liked it.
I've almost completed the last baby sweater I'll be knitting for a while. I must say, the one good thing is they're fast knits. I'll post a finished picture when I'm done.

Down the street on a warm sunny day:
I don't know how he does it, but Grilltech had these socks for six months before he wore a hole in them. I was reading the forums and they had talked about the Darn Easy, I went out to ebay and picked it for about 15 bucks. Instead of rubber bands, I used Goody Ouchless hair bands. They worked like a charm.
It took me about 30 minutes to fix the hole. I'm sure Roxie would have them nice and even (she's a weaver). Pretty good for my first time.
I finished the baby sweater.
I've finished knitting the additional length to Grilltech's sweater. Now, I've got to graph 400+ stitches. I'm not good at that, so I'm making a dish cloth or two, so I've got something to practice with.
For Mother's day, Perky and Kommadant took me and his mom to the Idaho Aquarium. Grilltech got a nice picture of all of us feeding the fish.
And every aquarium has a lizard, right? When he jumped into the pool, all the fish scattered!

- There were no cars at the bar yesterday, today there was three
- Summer is coming, I can tell because the sky is starting to turn blue before 0600
- We've been doing some routine workouts, along with the pool. Yesterday was the pool and today I'm sore. WTH?!
- Might have talked Perky into taking karate with us. The guys don't want to do some of the holds with me, because I'm a girl and they might accidentally touch boobs
- Maybe the world doesn't end in December 2012 after all
- Today is MIL's birthday
- It's also Sensei's soon* to be wife birthday

- There was a God awful twenty minutes of I lost my badges
- Turns out they fell into my underwear
- It's time to go home
FO Monday
Down the street on Sunday:
Finished my latest project. Any guesses?
How about now? It's a Baby Surprise Jacket (Rav)
I'm trying to decide which buttons look the best. The top (purple) would give a splash of color and bring out the other colors. The middle (pearl) would give it a classy look, and the bottom (black) would be safe. It's suppose to be for a girl, so I do have some choices.
Remember Grilltech's Sweater? While he liked it well enough, it wasn't long enough. So it's been sitting in my to do pile for three or four months. I'm now taking it apart to add another three or four inches (maybe double if I find other skein).
I've certainly grown as a knitter, five years ago I wouldn't have dreamed of doing anything like that.
List Day
- I counted two cars at the bar this morning
- Watched a heron fly across the field on yesterday's drive to the gym

- And there is cloud coverage, how are we going to be able to see the supermoon?
Jury Duty
I had to call in today at 1000 to see if I needed to report for duty by 1045. So did 97 other people, so I was put on hold. Turns out my case was settled, and my duty for the week is done.
My cough is better, I can actually talk, so I guess this means it's back to work tomorrow.

Where are am I Dad's vest? Ready to divide for the front and back. I had bound off, and finished the decreases - about 10 rows - and then I realized I had miscounted. I had to rip back to the divide.Have I mentioned how much I hate this garment?
Three or four weeks ago, I was able to get a picture of a rainbow. Today's storm also had a lovely double set, but I wasn't able to get pictures of them.

FO Monday
Today has been off. I could. not. sleep. last night. I got back up at 2100, and was able to get to sleep at 2200. Woke up at 0400 to use the loo, which really sucks because the alarm starts going off at 0415. Grilltech had been up mere minutes before I was, and got the full morning experience. He usually wakes up when he hears the shower door closing, so he misses Uggy running back and forth and meowing trying to make sure I'm getting up.
Anyway, off day. Today I cannot. type. I've mis-spelled common words beyond the norm. I've selected the wrong organizations. And the real kicker? I was having one of the programmers fix one of my mistakes and he comes to verify the ID. Yea, sent him the wrong information. He got a good laugh out of it, but I only want to go home to forgot this day even happened.
Grilltech was nice and took me to Wrath of the Titans. It was action packed, nice special effects, and hot guys. Funny lines why, yes I am great.
Now that you've read my whine, here is a picture of utter cuteness...
...and I finished the hat.

Monday, Monday
Three day weekends are very nice. We went to the gym early Saturday morning, but the pool was stuffed with swimmers. So, we spent ten minutes in the hot tub and went to breakfast. The rest of the weekend was spent doing more pleasurable pursuits: watching series TV and knitting. After the weekend of sleeping in late,
crawling out of bed this morning was a bit challenging. Now hours later, I simply want to lay my head on the desk and nap.
I seem to have misplaced my one of my cabling needles. So, I've swiped the one from the hood to finish my sock. Honestly, I haven't worked on the hood for a week or two, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Perky joined the gym again. Today she picked me from work and to the pool we went. On the drive there, I saw one of the babies at the nest. On the 19th, Grilltech mentioned he had saw one but we hadn't seen them since. Today he sent me a text saying there are two of them there now. I had to reply back, pictures or it didn't happen.
I'm so mean at times.

List Day
- Who has two thumbs and forgot her knitting? That's right! Me! I did remember to bring my iPad, so I'll have something to do during breaks.
- One of my favorite designers is Clearance, I got two shirts by him. Both the same size, or so they say. First one fits rather nicely. The second one? Not to much, a bit tight in the back and arms. It's rather annoying.
- The sun is shielded behind thick gray clouds, the only reason I know where its at is the bright spot and slight blurring above and below.

Finally Friday
It's suppose to be a bright, bright, sun shiny day, but it's still cold enough out there, I can see the geese's breath. They're on the roof of the building across the court yard. As time as passed, the run as risen higher; now I'm like a cat wanting do nothing more than stretch out and sleep. I won't say, I've closed my eyes a couple of times long enough for the screen saver to kick on, because that would be bad - I'm supposed to be working.
I wanted to leave work early today and go to the yarn store, but Perky has to be to work at noon. So, I'll stay and get some OT hours, because it's our current posture and any extra $$ is extra $$.
Nothing like plodding away at work, to have a reminder kick up and the heart pounding panic of did I get the agenda ready for the meeting? It's kinda nice when I'm able to realize, I had. On the other hand, it's not so smart to tell the ACR event notes, MM is bring round chips for the pot luck next Friday instead of it's part of the mini-bid.
We took to the car to the auto shop then walked home. It's almost a stone throw from the house, which makes it really easy to drop it off. Hopefully it will be a cheap fix, the check engine light is on.
And for what ever reason, the embedding of video's isn't working. Or maybe the two I looked at, but either way it annoying.
Go here for a good pick me up - Supernatural style.

Tuesday Update
As much as I would have loved to, I didn't give up work for Lent. My fat ass has been in the chair working, which is really starting to cut into my blogging time, both reading and writing. I won't even mention how much less time I spend on Ravelry. I think Donna Lee is right, it would be nice to win the lottery. Yea, I know... My odds of winning only slightly increase if I buy a ticket.
We've been doing the Wii and karate, but yesterday it was back to the gym. Today? My knees are killing me. The scary part? I was on the tread mill using speed setting two. There shouldn't be any reason for them to be hurting so badly.
On the knitting front, I've started Dad's vest. The ribbing is done and now it's inches and inches of mindless stockinette. He's pretty much like Grilltech and likes them L-O-N-G. It's a good thing I don't have to pay attention to the needles while knitting in the round.
The scarf/hood thing is a bit stalled. I tend to work on it during game nights. Boring enough to keep my hands busy, but not distracting from the game. So it doesn't see much attention.
I've started another dishcloth, we can't have too many of those. Once that's completed, I've got baby sweaters to knit.

Uggy watching from the front porch. Normally she'd be in the window, but that was conceded to GoJira in the peace treaty.
My current sock, it seems to be taking forever to knit.
When we last saw this yarn it looked like this:
It now looks like this:
Here is a swatch for Dad's vest. I know, it's HUGE for a swatch.
How much do I love Grilltech? From the sun....
....to the moon.
List Day
- I knitted a washcloth this weekend. That's all I worked on. I'd show you a picture, but yanno, if you've seen one...
- The tattoo is at the peeling, itchy stage. UGH.
- We're supposed to be heading back today, but we forgot to pack our gym bags.
- Grilltech wants to set up an appointment for his tat
- There was a very lovely sun dog again this morning
- I was trying to do a regular post, but it kept coming out as single statements, so it's a list day
- Geese are thinking about nesting on the roof of the building across the way
- In a couple of weeks, my babies should be coming back
- Made Grilltech take me out to dinner
- Then we had to have the oil changed on the car
- I've gotta go practice, tomorrow night is class
List Day
- I counted seven cars at the bar this morning
- We didn't get to sleep until after 2230 last night, today I'm like a zombie
- When did I miss a day? I mean don't get me wrong, I'm glad today's Thursday and all, but when did I lose a day?
- SHHHH, don't tell anyone, but I got a set of tattoo's after work yesterday
- I've got to remember to put the six pack into the car tomorrow morning
- It seems I'm going to be math challenged today
- Okay, gotta remember not to rub the wrist
- Wow, it's raining out there
- Veto'ed email: Valentine's day is next Tuesday. Instead of trying to do something special during the week, save it for the weekend and take Monday (the 20th) off to recover. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
- Two more hours and my day is done!
- I would say something about how this day flying, but I'm afraid I'd jinx it
- w00t! I didn't put my password in the room for everyone to read
- I guess I am a nice person, but I did not post to the Gnome's Facebook wall Hello Kitty stamp book party at my house on Friday, RSVP for directions. (He left his computer unlocked.)
- Spring is on its way, the geese are starting to pair up and look for a place to nest
- The temporal time dilatation seems to have died down, I have 15 minutes of my day left and it's d.r.a.g.g.i.n.g
- Seriously? I have to go verify everyone has marked this course as completed?
Days
Here to work on time? Check
Working my regular schedule? Check
Have my knitting? Check
Ready to call it a week? Ding, ding, ding
I know it sounds like I'm whining, and I probably am, but I'm ready for some time off. Oh wait, that's next week. Grilltech and I are taking a long weekend next week. Time off during the year really helps keep the stir crazy down to a minimum.
Yesterday was all sorts of off. Grilltech had training, so we adjusted our schedule to come work later. Talk about everything being wrong! I got to work and in 30 minutes I had a meeting. Thankfully BBQer had handled most of the details, I think that was mostly because he was the leader. I kept looking at the clock and had to remind myself that no, I still had four hours to go at 1400.
I also left my knitting at home for the prior two days. Gah! Breaks wasn't going to stand and knit in a cube with a friend, but getting drinks and crap food. Not good for the waist line.
Catch Up
Let's see, what's been going on around here?
- Perky has been sick for the past three (four?) weeks. Took her to the doctor on Wednesday, she's got strep.
- Last Monday, one of the cow-orkers was picked to be a new supervisor. Most of what she does was passed to me. On Wednesday (of last week), we were talking about what I need to do, she got a phone call. Her husband was going to the ER; he's been in ICU since. I believe yesterday they were talking about moving him to a regular room, soon(TM).
- I'm back to doing the mini bids at work. A bit of a night mare, can't do much of anything else because it sucks the life out of me. Fun things like we're tanking from 1800 to 2230, but you can't put anyone there unless they:
- have the last name with an X and Q in them
- are female
- have six fingers on their left hand
- Last week, Fran kitty decided she really was a cat and to prove it, she brought us a bird. She's now wearing a bell.
- GoJira and Uggy are still having territory disputes. Uggy stays out of the front room, and GoJira has conceded the bedroom. The kitchen and family room often have hissing matches in them.
- We've started watching Burn Notice, which really reminds me of the A-Team (the link isn't to the A-Team site, but college humor).
- I was practicing in the garage last night and Grilltech scared the hell out of me. Mostly by coming home early, he wasn't due home for another five hours.
- We're bird sitting for my parents. GoJira really seems to enjoy the bird channel.
- I wonder if I can talk Grilltech in to downloading me the new season of Sherlock

Down the street:
Finished Grilltech's socks:
Finished my row, the top square on the left is a bacon one:
I started another sock, this one is mine:
I didn't have a supervisor, so I grabbed a picture of GoJira:
