Today was a wash.I had to get up early to take Thyroid kitty to the vet -- needed to check and see whether the medication was working. I got there early in the hopes I'd get out early. No such luck. In fact, little diva didn't see the vet, she saw only a technician 'cause I couldn't wait any longer. I then had to RUSH to a WW staff meeting in Plaistow, which is 42-miles each way from my house.

And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

I don’t know if anyone else watches Painkiller Jane but me, but it’s a fairly interesting show. She’s kinda like Buffy + Alias’ Sydney Bristow and Heroes Claire Bennett - vampires, all rolled into one.And while the guys aren’t too bad to look at, I think it’s the voiceovers that sometimes catch me off guard. Even though I know they’re coming.I never think about stuff like meals for 1 or

There are days when I’m glad I don’t do outdoor sales of any kind. I can’t imagine heat/cold to be fun, but I’d have to say rainy and snowy days top the list. It’s July for cripes sake, and though it’s “officially” summer it’s rained the last 3 days – it’s not even 70 right now.Knitting – though I have no new pictures to show, yesterday I did meet Alison, Baby L and got an autographed copy of

And though I have know this for a while, it’s only hit home recently.I talk to people and they will mention something I said, and I’m taken aback – you mean you listened?

I’ve been thinking lately about what makes us, the collective group of people here, fall in like/love with someone.I know there is a chemical reaction, and a biology thing going on, but is there more? Is it as simple as a look, a touch, or a smell? What is it about that other person that we go from being, “yeah you’re a guy/girl” to “you’re a really cute, good looking guy/girl, and I’d like to

My stats from Saturday (when I wasn’t here) to Sunday (when I posted pics) went from 1 person to 14. I get it, pictures = more visitors.Unfortunately, I don’t have any new pictures today.

Knitting and relationships

2007-06-23T20:12:00.000-04:00

No news yet about anything new.But it got me wondering whether there was a correlation between knitting and relationships.

It is well within her right to ask me to please knit her/him a pair of socks in the color/s they choose. I have chosen to do so, and though I'm not a fan of brown socks, the socks look amazing in the semi-solid Koigu.I have never met the person I am knitting for, so

That's why when these are done, I'll be making myself a pair in colors more suited for me.that being said and done!I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have one person I get

Dear Sockpal,I promise to knit the socks I had set out on. The only problem I have is the socks. The pattern rocks, Koigu is amazing – my problem is with the colors.See, I promised myself I would knit the socks in the colors you had requested – neutral, earth tones. And I’m sticking to that to the very end.I think my problem is, is this – I don’t like knitting in earth tones. And yes, knitting
