Well hello torrential downpour. Where ya been?

Guess that didn't work. Bummer

Installing Mac OSX Snow Leopard. Super excited that it will be evrything it touts. Just waiting it out for the install

A little this and a little that

What to write? That blinking line is daunting at times. There are so many great, funny, crafty, witty (mad lib the adjective of your choice here___) blogs that to start a blog and want some people to read it and not just write to a void is in all likelihood a little narcissistic. Oh, well. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

I've updated by project page with most of my FOs, my UFOs are stilling darting about, defying the known laws of physics. Check my ravelry page for details, photos, or blank spaces. On the topic of knitting, I am on section 4 (the decreases) of my second clapotis. I have pictures of it, but they are still on my camera and thus of no current use. I joined a great group on rav, random acts of kindness - posted my wishlist - which is a list of wishes. You can't hear the indignation in my voice but imagine it. I went back to edit something on it and saw that someone had disagreed with it!!! Then I disagreed with it but that was an accident and in ravelry there are no take-backs. I am a little TO'd by that, but c'est la vie.

Ciao til later

Aaaaaaaaaand...we're back?

So...gone for a super long time. I am really going to try to post, if not daily, then at least weekly. Even if no one reads. I can feel my typing skills getting rusty and my writing ability going down the drain and I slaved really hard in college for them so I'll be dammed if I lose them so soon. Since my last post, I graduated, haven't really finished or sent any of the things I posted about, but did start a garden in our backyard with my mom. The rain (which we needed and still do), the heat (weeks of no rain and 90+ degrees), and being new biggish-scale gardeners combined for, let us say, mixed results.

I shall return with a mix of things, but will leave y'all with this picture I snapped from my last vacation (the OBX, in November, no I am not kidding. More on that later)

Good Night and Good Luck.

On the other hand

I have several projects in the works, but as it seems that spring has decided to join us here in North Georgia, albeit in fits and starts, most of my projects will have to wait until Fall and Winter to see the cold light of day.
In progress:

• Warm Hearts Scarf - for Kim, her b-day is April 8. NEED TO FINISH ;)

• Danica in Wheat & Wine - My very first entrelac project! It's going great, well it was until I ran out of wheat. So on hold it goes until I can get some more. I am knitting it up in Manos wool and may I just say, "Yummy!"
• Sputtering along with notions of a super long, chunky crochet scarf. Think yarn ball junkie.

I am having trouble deciding what to do with some great birthday yarn in my stash. Some more manos in great colors. No really, the color combination is gorgeous (cream, denim, and coral) and some fun yarn with glitz in what I find to be ice cream colors. Beige (for the cone), Raspberry (for one of the scoops), and Pistachio (for another scoop).

Arrrrg! What to do with such great yarn?

P.S. the picture is completely random :) Taken by my sister in Massanutten, VA. Wonderful.

So me it's frighting

What Margaret Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.
