Down the street on a cloudy day


Made some progress on my tunic


Grilltech's next sock


Ruby. See how cute she is? Adorable even.


Don't believe it, she's evil. Pure evil. Any time I'm not paying attention, she chews on yarn. She got Grilltech's sock twice and my sweater once. I'm told to beat her with a skein of yarn and that would cure her. I'm thinking she'd just think it was a toy.

Worst Cat Guardian Ever...

Left Fran out side for two hours while I was off knitting.

How will I live with the shame?

Letters

Dear Life,

I'm tired of feeling this way. I know this shall pass, but really? It needs to be over and fast.

- Crabby

Dear Perky,

I'm glad you're hunting for bargains. Honestly that's a good thing. But I'm kinda burned out on hearing the latest and greatest.

Thank you for all the hard work.

- Mom

Dear Eldest,

Are you sure this time? Really sure? Because I've been hearing this for the past two years.

- Mom

Dear Work,

I wish had I more confident in myself to look for something more. But every time I apply I feel like a fraud and just know in my heart of hearts there is someone better then me.

It totally sucks.

- Me

Dear Dentist,

I don't have a 1000 to spend on a new crown. I blew all my $$ on getting one of those already. I'm going to need to wait a while for it.

This sucks.

- Me

Drive By

Whew, this pants are tight. Makes me look forward to the time when they'll be to big.

Update

Yesterday, I called out sick. I wasn't feeling overly well. Last night, I forgot to set my alarm. This morning I woke up when we should have been leaving. Managed to get to work with minutes to spare. Lucky me.

The current book I'm reading, isn't impressing me. If I had another book to switch to, I think I would, but I don't. Think I'll find another one tomorrow.

Still feeling a bit down, not as bad as I was, but still blue. Still finding it hard to be excited about anything. I think it's making Grilltech a bit crazy.

Nothing to See Here

I'm in a mood. I don't want to do anything. No knitting, no karate, no house cleaning, nothing. There isn't anyway to pull myself out of it. I've just gotta ride it out. Hopefully the mood will break soon and I'll feel like doing things. Soon.

Tomorrow, we're going to see a movie. The movie of the summer according to the news.

This whole diet thing is making me crazy. I'm down a couple of pounds, but no where near what I think I should be. So in my head I'm thinking it's pointless and I'm going to be fat for the rest of my life.

List Day

  • I counted one car at the bar this morning
  • Gas is at $2.73 per gallon
  • Nothing overly exciting is going on at work
  • I suppose that's a good thing, because it means we're doing our jobs right

  • I'm going to tea with some knitter friends on Saturday
  • It's noon and I've done 3400 steps for the day
  • One of the cleaning crew came and vacuumed the bay out. Nice
  • We need to swing by the store on the way home tonight

Down the street on a cloudy spring day


Finished my dragon scale socks. They match pretty close.


Finished a second pair of acrylics for the MIL. They're a fast knit.


I started a pair of socks for Grilltech. A pair for me, and then a pair for him. But Ruby (grrr Ruby) likes to chew on yarn. I try to tuck it away so she can't find it, but some how she does.

Gah!!

Today Grilltech and I took the day off of work. It was nice to sleep in. While we didn't work, we did things.

A month ago, Grilltech mentioned he wanted his guns cleaned. While my parents was over last week, I mentioned it to my Dad, who was more then willing to help out. Today, we went to their house and while Grilltech cleaned, I knitted.

I've finished the cuff of my sock and I'm ready to start the leg. I've decided to do the dragon pattern I've done in the past, but I can't find the written pattern. GRRRR So I need to figure out how to do it again. Math will be the death of me.

Down the street on a nice spring day. The day before had been raining.


Grilltech's Neon Socks. He calls them his Seahawks Socks. He wore them to work today.


A pair of socks for Grilltech's mom. She prefers acrylic, they are cheap to make.


A pair of socks for me. Finished a while ago.


A dishcloth set that Perky claimed. Usually I can two whole cloths from one ball, but not in this case.


Ruby looking ready to take on the world. She's a bit bigger since that photo.

Gah!

Last night, I go to get on the balance board for the Wii and it won't power up. WTH? I replaced the batteries and still no power up. Sigh. I just put it away and figure we'll need to buy a new one.

After some research, I should have tried to sync the board. I'll try it tonight and see if it works.

Wish me luck.

Weekend Recap

It was a nice weekend. The kids came over from Easter Dinner. We feasted, played games, and chatted a bit. Four person Mario is crazy. We kept getting into each other way and bumping them into a warp. (A long time ago, back when the Nintendo game system first came out, we would see a hole and tell the neighbor hood kids there's a warp down there. They'd die and they're turn would be over. Yes, it was mean of us, but it was funny.)

On Saturday, a group of us got together can did some crafting. I worked on Grilltech's sock - almost done with the instep. C hemmed a skirt. Night Owl worked on her socks - once she got there. And the Eldest started work on some earrings. It was quite the diverse group.

I called Grilltech's mom and chatted with her a bit. She'd like another pair of the knit socks, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I made hers from. I'm thinking it was red heart. I'll pick more up and get her a pair for Mother's day made. Birthday, Mother's day, whatever.

We still have some pizza left over. I meant to send that home with the Eldest, but didn't remember it. So I've got some pizza to eat before it goes bad. Poor me.

  • Gas is holding at $2.59 per gallon
  • I haven't gotten on the Wii to weigh myself again yet, so I don't know how much the liar says I weigh now
  • The soda machine won't take my dollar - it's a coin - so I'm drinking water
  • Water is probably better for me anyway
  • Now I can't access the shared mail box, it keeps telling me how much I suck or something like that
  • Good heavens woman, I'm in the next cube over and I can smell your perfume. Maybe you should cut back a bit?
  • So, I was right. Maybe I know what I'm talking about
  • Stop waving your carb-y goodness in front of my face, I can't shouldn't have those
  • I've broken more nails in the past two weeks then I have in the past two years.... no more GELS!!!
  • Planning on picking up Baby Bird, and keeping her over night
  • hmmmm carb Friday
  • Good night everyone

Liar!

I think the Wii is lying to me. It's been 98 days since I've last been on it and according to it, I've lost 8.4 pounds. The last time it's told me I lost that much, two days later, I gained 10.

I think it's lying.

Waiting

I made some pretty good progress on Griltech's sock today. Did the heel flap, turned the heel, and I'm about half way done with the instep. Overall, it was two hours worth of knitting time.
