In which there are two things! Two exciting things! Two!
The first exciting thing is that last night, while watching an episode of Torchwood, I completed the Big Brown Sweater. (You may cheer; I will hear you even over the Internet.) It spent a year and ten months on the needles, but it’s finally finished and [...]

In which it is all about the joy that was my local post office today.
This awesome woman (who blogs here) sent me a box (because she is hella awesome) containing:
Yarn, with Sci-fi!
I happened to be at the post office because I was sending a RAOK package myself, to Vuboq, containing needles and stitch markers and [...]

In which Teh BF totally comes through with the goods!
Yesterday I got a belated b-day present from Kaje. And it’s not even electronic, but it still utterly RULEZ. It’s needles! Circular knitting needles! Awesome cute kick ass knitting needles that have been on my wishlist for, like, two years!

And not just any needles, but the [...]

In which I bore my non-knitting readers half to death.
I’ve been knitting myself a hat. This is the third hat that I’ve started for myself; the other two I gave away because when they were finished they weren’t my hat.

This hat is brown and pink, which are totally my colors. It’s not fuzzy, but it’s [...]

In which there’s a parcel! Yay!
The mailman came back this afternoon and left a box on the porch. This box contains the items I got with the Patternworks gift certificate my mom sent me for Christmas:

I’ve been waiting for this box for over a week! I got a felted clog pattern, 2 skeins of Meredith [...]

In which NLW cracks me all the fuck the way up.
The Ever-Handsome Mr J was out of town last night, so NLW called me and took me out to dinner at Pizza Hut. I love that about her. We talked about me, then we talked about her. Then we bought cranberry juice and chocolate sandwich [...]

In which I accentuate the positive! (Yes, I’m feeling much better today.)
It’s so nice outside today that I can barely stand myself. I’ve been sitting on the porch in the sun, reading. It’s so lovely!
I’ve finished the back of my sweater, and I am in the process of finishing the front. I’ve used half the [...]

In which the weather outside is frightful.
No one has called (or emailed) to offer me a job today. This makes me sad.
It’s been snowing since yesterday. We have a winter storm watch in effect until six o’clock. I swept off the porch and it’s cold and shitty out. My friend Snow needs a ride to [...]

In which I enjoyed the Superbowl more than I ever have before. (Well, except for that one time years ago when I watched it on coke, that is.)
NLW called me up last week to invite herself over for Superbowl Sunday, because her house was going to be invaded by penis people. I discussed the idea [...]

In which I cook Indian, freak the fuck OUT — omg! you have no idea! DUDES! — on a virtual world, and talk about the perils of knitting. In the process I manage to put a rather astonishing number of links into a single entry. (Mouse over ‘em for snap-ups!)
This morning (and I use ‘morning’ [...]

In which there’s some good news… for once.
We don’t have to move! AmmZon’s mother has offered to sell her the house, and at a remarkably reasonable price. AmmZon is considering it, and in the meanwhile: we’re not evicted! Yay! I can stay here until I get a job and an apartment!
My previous employer — the [...]

In which I’m all stealth.
It’s That Time Of The Month again, so I’m antisocial. I did not go anywhere yesterday, and I will not go anywhere today. I might go out and rip this town a new one tomorrow, though. We’ll see.

I’m online now to catch up on my email — haven’t checked it in [...]
