Okay, so my knitting photography has never been the best–I’ll just stick with Squish’s expression here and call it good. It’s a wrap, worked side to side, with a cable at the top and one on the bottom, and (this part’s hard to see!) three medallion cables worked in the center. I’m about done with the second medallion, and am about to start the third–and I may even go back for another skein of yarn to do a hood with a cable…

And then I have to decide who I want to give this thing too, because it’s alpaca, and I can’t really be trusted with something that cool. It feels like angel’s wings, did I mention that? Anyway–the cables show up better in person, and I’m hoping the design doesn’t suck too much. It’ll be able to keep a body warm during the next ice age, and that’s always a plus in a garment.

And this is what happens when you don’t watch the animals– they have a party in Chicken’s room and things get completely the hell out of hand! Look at that gray one–he’s totally stoned. And the one in the drawers? Has a SERIOUS catnip addiction. Fucking animals… feed them, give them luvies, they totally think you’re an enabler.

And other than that? I got nothin’. I’ve been writing up a storm– 8K in two days– and really enjoying the hell out of my project– that’s something! I saw a RL friend (the one with the wine… red, this time, which was a change! and we knit and made bread and it was a lovely afternoon…

Right up until I got home and realized that Big T, in a classic Big T move, had missed his bus and walked home because he couldn’t get anyone on the phone. He didn’t call his father (which is REALLY starting to piss me off) and he didn’t let anyone know there might be a reason to miss the bus. This morning he did something similar, which was to wake me up and tell me he’d need to be picked up at 5:30. I told him I would be getting ready to go out with his Dad for an Intel thing, 5:30 wouldn’t work for me, and to ask his father. He woke me up in ten minutes to day he’d need to be picked up at nine instead. I told him, for the fifth time, that MOM AND DAD WE’RE GOING TO BE OUT AT A WORK FUNCTION and to (get this–it’s revolutionary) ASK HIS FATHER!!!

*grrrr* He never did ask his father. *shakes head* What is it about that? Why can’t they ask their dad– it’s not like dad spoils them less than I do, and he’s not nearly as moody. Don’t get it. Don’t get it, never will, but someday, I’d like to not be the one woken up at gawdawful in the morning to deal with it, you feel me?

Yes, yes, I’m sure most of you do;-)

Anyway–uhm, that’s about it. Writing’s a funny thing– you’re either doing shit all up in your head or pimping a recent or upcoming release. When it’s the shit that’s all up in your head, you’re perfectly entertained–but, alas, not very entertaining! (That’s why the word counts–I don’t live an die by them, but, well, I just want to prove to y’all that I’m DOING SOMETHING, right? Especially as bad as the house looks– if it wasn’t for the little word count thingy on the bottom of the page, someone might come to arrest me for stealing oxygen!)

And now? Off to hope water aerobics haven’t been cancelled. Swimming in fifty degrees–yaw-fuckin’-hee!!!!
