Like y’all thought I was actually going to be able to finish a couple of rows of ribbing in one day?\
muwhahhahhaahhaha
You do know what blog you’re at right?
Most of yesterday was spent fighting stomach ickies and making a big batch of chicken and dumplings – they’re sitting in the fridge to get more yummy and to be devoured today. I slow cooked some ribs for dinner and made some sweet potato fries. I think Ghiardelli chocolate cupcakes are being made later.
And yes, I swear. I’ll knit.
Maybe.
Since my attitude is improving:
Happy Sunday y’all

♥ Go wish our Angie a Happy Birthday.
♥ I slept wonderfully last night. No texts or phone calls to wake me up. Oh and no more weird incidences, so pfffft Carrie. neeener neener boo boo yah. Or something
♥ Three words: French Press Coffee
♥ I was slightly tempted to post a little video I made of Texas and I in the car singing this song (but I love my life too much):
♥ I haz much happy and luv.
♥ I was hoping for an FO shot, but I only completed two repeats on the 18 month old second sock. (totally not my fault it’s been sitting around so long*)
♥ I’m trying to figure out how so many leaves make it into the house.
♥ No eggs? No milk? You’d think no breakfast, right? Wrong! Chicken and dumplings baby. YUM!
♥ I’m feeling much better today and have some semblance of energy – no, I’m not going to go into my normal “do everything now with OCD ” so I don’t wear myself down. I do have an MRI tomorrow.
♥ I was going to do this week’s UM, but I’m not feeling it today.
♥ However, I do feel like doing this and have got myself all set up:
Yeah… be jealous bitches. 
Happy Sunday y’all!

Busy… and I mean busy weekend. So, until I have some uninterrupted time and can warp the loom, you have to suffer with knitting content. Whee!!
One sock done and the other languishing because I’m having fun trying two socks at once. Who knew toe-ups could be so much fun? Plus, for some reason I’m finding comfort during this craziness with wool. The bamboo and cotton projects? Not so much. The wool… just right. I ended up casting on last night for a project that was bought during the FPSS just because. O.k., just because someone pointed me in the direction of a rigid heddle loom thing and I needed something I could knit and read with. At least it’s safer than a yarn site? Can I just say it’s also that person’s fault that I changed my layout? Something about acid trips and ladybugs.

Sock on Bag c. 2008
Of course I forgot my camera yesterday because it was supposed to be a quick meet-up with one person. It lasted ten hours and involved MANY people.
Yeah.
Me. People. Ten hours.
We all know how anti-social I am.
I don’t think much knitting actually got done, but today? I can barely talk. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard and long in years.
Just look at those pretty white socks.

Sock Knitter Self Portrait circa 2008
I’ve fallen into a routine rather quickly this time around and it is wonderful!
For about the past month or so, I’ve taken my cigarette money and put it into a weekly massage. I think that this was the first week I went in there and wasn’t completely knotted up. Not working does a body good?
Part of this week’s spa Friday was a trip to a new hairstylist. She was wonderful! I think it’s the cutest cut I’ve ever had… and easy. Mom’s thoughts – “You looked cute when you left the house. Now you look sophisticated.” I’m still trying to figure out if that was a compliment.
My home is also extremely organized and clean.
That scares me.
I’m hoping to finally get rid of the purple merino of misery this week and finish another project or two while watching movies for Philosophy. PT also starts tomorrow. WOO!
At 8 a.m.
Doesn’t seem that bad until I tell you that it’s over an hour away. Blech. Just when I got in the habit of waking up with no alarm.
