Hello! Did you see the pictures of my brother? Too funny! Him and his
shirt tan! He wasn't really unhappy with his haircut. Yes, I cut my
brother's hair. It's the deal we have-he changes the oil in my car, I
cut his hair. Might be some pictures of the dog coming soon too!
Today was typical, boring, busy for unknown reasons. I've been trying get my
top-down sweater moving. It's terribly boring-just stockinette for an
absurd length. But I always do what I least want to do first-to get it
over with. And I feel like I can't enjoy my socks while this unfinished
sweater is glaring at me from my knitting bag. It mocks me sometimes.
"Come on-just one row", it whispers, "It won't take much time-just one
row-maybe two." It's sneaky like that because I tend to fall for it,
and start knitting it-('Just one row' I promise myself) And that onefrieakin
' row takes like twenty minutes! But by then, I'm in my groove, and the
sound of my needles click-clicking together sooths my nerves and takes
my stress away like nothing else. And I'm hooked. Two hours later, my
leg is asleep from toe to butt and I've accomplished an amount that
can't even be counted in inches. But I'm so relaxed that I don't care.
Then the socks start whispering from their dpns..............

At last!!
Here it is! The sock!! And look! I learned how to post a picture!! I feel so special!
So last night I went to B&N to knit with Wen and the chitlin. Super fun! Then I went to nasty day job today. Don't even want to go there....
Anyway, when I got home today, I spent hours-HOURS-trying to figure out the photo thing. Pain in the butt. But I am so proud of my self for doing it!! I will be posting loads of picture! And mine-as soon as I figure that out!
But I'm going to go work on sassy pants project, then watch Deadliest Catch. (Love that show!)
So good night all!

Welcome
Hello! I hope you're settled in! I'm having an issue. I can't seem to get an image posted. But-no fear! I will keep trying!
So, The electric in my house went off last night for five looonngg hours! I used the opportunity to knit by lantern light. And a little bit of candlelight. Who knew candles flickered so much? Kind of hard to concentrate. I kept flinching. So-out came the lantern. I got a lot done on my top-down sweater, through. And it's been a project that has been a little boring for me, so I was pleased that I did so much. And the lights finally came back on at 1 A.M. It was a long night.
But it got me thinking. Even me-who doesn't live by the TV or the computer, or video games, or anything. I was bored. out. of. my. mind. It was the silence that got to me. Afterall, I was doing what I normally do in my down time-I was knitting. But it was sooo quiet. Now-I live in the sticks, don't get me wrong, it's pretty quiet here anyway. But there was just something about the silence of a blackout that was unnerving. It was a long night.
And this morning, I got up, and went to Circuit City to get myself a new digital camera (still having issues. Bitches.) which was on sale. $130 with a free memory card. Smokin' deal! As is typical in my life, the sales people rang it up wrong, and I had to go to customer service to get it all sorted out. Pain in my ass, but I'm kind of used to it because I can't go anywhere without some type of episode. But I will say that I handle these things well. I didn't get upset, I did not cause a scene, I was very gracious and understading. The lady behind me, however, was more then a little hos-tile. Muttering "This is crazy" will not solve my problem any faster, I can assure you. Besides the fact that no one was even around before I was helped-I had to roll my ass to another register to get help. Now. You'd think she'd have done the same. Not so much. Some people cause their own hostility.
And now I am going to work on my sweater before meeting my friend Wen at B&N for some hardcore chatting and knitting.
Happy Memorial Day!!
