Hi! It’s me! Is that you?

Hey there! I moved. :0)

I live in the Chicago area now. I am now full time at Apple and enjoying it immensely. My apartment is adorable, my new couch is comfy and my clothes are all still in boxes and suitcases! But my refrigerator works (it didn’t at first) and I knitted about 5 rounds on Green Gable.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go pay rent! ;)

PantiesInDisguise?

•Sunday, 9 November 2008 • 1 Comment

So Mom and I headed off to find her some warm winter Jammies–because MI has figured out that it’s November so it’s about 40 degrees now during the day instead of 70. (Hmm, no comment.) Well we hit Macy’s where we found flannel jammie bottoms…and also:

Really? People go around sticking “skin-friendly adhesive” butterflies to their bits instead of wearing panties? REALLY???

Hiya!

Oh how I wish to knit.

Lisa wants a replica of the hat the dog ate. I want Rogue. And Green Gable. And another hat.

But I’m learning to play the guitar. And I start belly dance lessons next week. And I’m so easily overwhelmed lately. Why is it that some people can do many many things, all at once, and well…while others of us think, “But I have to practice the guitar, and I have cramps, and I need to lose 15 lbs by next week, and I can’t even think of what pattern I used for that silly hat–stupid dog!” ???

Sigh. Hello.

Kno knew knitting.

•Wednesday, 30 July 2008 • 2 Comments

I was going to start a new blog, because I think this is about to become more “gluten-free” than “knitting.” But I think I’ll just not make a new blog.

:0)

I’m in the midst of being officially diagnosed with celiac disease. I got blood drawn last week and was informed today that the results are ” normal” however, I’m not convinced…well let’s not *begin* this journey with cynicism. So next step is a scope for a biopsy of my small intestine. So now I’m waiting for a referral to the gut doctor.

Oh, btw, Green Gable is still sitting around waiting to be finished.

And I’m an Apple employee now. And I am an iPhone owner. In fact, I wrote this entry from my phone with the iPhone WordPress application. Pretty cool, eh?

Big-Girl Decision

I had to rip the Green Gable.

TOO BIG is…unacceptable, because I really really really like the way this drapes and I really really really want to wear it. So I frogged. Back to an inch shorter on the sleeves and it’s much better.

Gosh, I’m growing. Ha!

I’ve also decided that I will complete the lovely Green Gable before I even think about (not true…already been thinking, but it’s about where to find the other sweater I want to complete not about what new pattern to start…) knittingon another item.

This is called self-discipline my friends. I hate it. Blech, icky.

Ummm…peace out, yo.

I’m knit-ting! (you know, say it like in “What About Bob”…)

I found Green Gable. I have knit about 5 inches in 24 hrs and I am damn proud of myself. I also tried it on and it seems maybe like it sorta might be a bit…large. Oh well. It’s partly cotton so maybe when I throw it in the wash (which I fully intend to do) it’ll tighten up a bit. Right?

Also, 2 Rockstars seems to cheer me right up. And also staying on the Advil schedule helps…

I want to knit.

I think it may be an avoidance tactic. Or maybe I’m just bored. But I can’t find any of the projects I want to work on. Like the sweaters…there are three of them somewhere I’d really like to finish. Or Ellie’s doll (scroll down for same exact progress, since I haven’t touched it in prolly years).

And I’m weepy today. Guess lonely too. So I’m writing. Hmm. Y’all may get tired of me. I think I may be writing more and yet saying very little in the next little bit.

I really am morose. Go somewhere else, this is depressing.

:P

Eeeeeeeee!

Not only am I now working at my dream company (two weeks into it and I am more than sure that this is my dream company) but I’m also one of the COOL KIDS now. Yes, people…I got my Ravelry invitation. w00t! I’m currently trying to set up some thingies on it–which is difficlut considering I have no idea what stash I have, what I have on the needles…because yeah, I haven’t knitted in awhile. Teehee. Silly. And my knitting stuff is all still in Portland whereas I am in Seattle. Except the jaywalkers and a skein of sock yarn Jen gave me in Nashville. That stuff is with me.

And…and…AND! There is an apartment coming available in the part of town in which I would like to live.

Also, does anyone else have a library where there is a line to get in on a Sunday afternoon? Hmm…

Raise your hand if you have an hour-and-45 minute commute to work…
