Hokay so...
It's Happy List Time
1. Not having a catastrophic computer meltdown.

3. Organizing stash while listening to podcasts.
4. Baby Cat helping put all of the laundry away, if by helping you mean playing in the basket of T-Shirts while I try to fold them.
5. Flip Flops

Click Click Click Go The Sticks
My computer had a slight melt down, and this one is refusing to recognize my camera, otherwise you would have lots of pretty pictures to ooh and ahh over. In a minute I will try a restart and see if that helps at all.
This week in the wide wide world of my knitting:
I casted on a sock, knit the toe, frogged it, cast it on again, knit the toe and part of the arch, frogged it, cast it on again, knit the toe, frogged it, cast it on again... see a pattern? Right now it is a "sock yarn porcupine" I figured stabbing the yarn with tiny DPNs would make it more cooperative when I came back to the sock.
I've also cast on, and frogged my traveling scarf three times now, twice in one yarn, once in another. The first yarn is lovely soft, but the ply is so loose it has no stitch definition, grrr.
Tin's Scarf got blocked and is ready to send, as soon as I have an address (Tin?)
Dad's scarf did not get finished, but most of the felted rug did, including most of the seaming and weaving in of ends.
Of course my knitting ADD means I have cast on yet another project, a mesh tote bag. It's farmers market season here in Waxahachie so it should be quite handy in the near future.
That is all I can think of at the moment. Off to try the re-boot, and hope that the camera likes it.

Wardrobe Mishaps
This Thursday it drives me crazy when I accidentally grab a pair of pants and stash them in my bag instead of a jacket. For those of you giving me an incredulous look: lemme 'splain.
Melly and I went to The Shabby Sheep tonight for PJs and Purls. Before hand I stashed some random items in my knitting bag, including what I thought was my old drill team jacket. Yes, I was on drill team in high school, I don't recommend it, you never know when you might end up made up like a prostitute, wearing a green wig:
I digress, I thought I put the jacket in my bag. It's made out of a light weight material and if you shove it into the bottom of a bag full of knitting stuff, a shake or two and it's just like new. In other words the jacket is handy, but it has a matching pair of pants. When wadded up on the floor, as all of my laundry is wont to be, the two look nearly identical to the hasty eye. So much to my chagrin, while sitting around knitting I pulled out my "jacket" only to discover that I had a pair of pants instead.
Oh and I figured it out, the answer lies in this:

It's Wednesday!
So therefore it is time for a Happy List!
5 completely random things that make me happy:
1. Finding my drivers license, before I gave in a trekked over to DPS to get a new one made
2. Discovering a random 4 ft long plank in the middle bedroom which I will turn into a "yardage measure" with two handy dandy nails.
2&1/2. Typing a blog entry while balancing said plank on my head, because I'm silly that way.
3. Discovering this:
I couldn't believe I found such a gem in Waxahachie, I think they opened last week.
4. Kettle Chips
5. Finding a ton of new blogs to read, my poor google reader is going to go into overload soon.

Urrgh Arrgh
Research papers are taking over my life!
Because I am currently having a crap time writing a crap load of research papers there will be no writing update this week, cause I'm cranky. Instead I'm going to ramble more about knitting, because it makes me happy.
I finished the Mary Jane Slippers yesterday.
They are comfy toasty, and I love love love them, in fact I am wearing them right now. :)
Today I finally got Tin's Scarf off of the needles, and now it is time to block it, a project for tomorrow. Sorry loves, no pictures until he has it in his hands.
So tomorrow I'm planning to block the scarf for Tin, and finally finish the ribbed Maroon and White Scarf for Dad that spent something like 3 months hibernating.
Ok it might not be finished tomorrow, but soon.
Much love from Carat Land!
