Day five of NaBloPoMo
Starting to feel the pressure. Not sure what to post today, unless y’all want to hear about my busy day at work or the coworker that pissed me off. Still hard at work on bag #2 (brick red and tan). Freezing in my cubicle, where my heater is doing little to alleve the chill. Almost done with the gazillionth viewing of season seven of Buffy.
I have not looked at any knitting sites or magazines or books today, so I can’t post about that. Haven’t even logged into Ravelry yet today–horrors! Um, I did take two minutes out of my day to contemplate buying a knitting related Xmas gift for a friend. I showed my current bag in progress to a colleague, and explained what stitch markers are for.
Oo! I lost five pounds in the last week, does that count as news?
Shoot. This is only going to get harder, isn’t it?
Ok, I just logged into Ravelry, and there was a group invite waiting for me, for a local yarn store. Hmm, I wonder if the other local stores have groups?
Um, go Patriots!
And now, a picture:
This is the most popular knitting-related image in my Flickr photostream. We now return you to your regularly scheduled surfing.

Almost forgot!
Yikes, one busy day at work, and I nearly forgot to post! I have nothing earthshattering to share, I’m afraid, as I’m *still* busy at work. The heater is on because the office is like a freezer. I had evil, stabby thoughts about a coworker today who “seriously annoyed” me (I say it like that in case my uncle ever finds this blog, but what I really want to say is much more uncouth), but after venting to my supervisor, I downgraded my thoughts to just evil.
The changing of the clocks hasn’t sunk in yet–woke up way too early. But I stayed in bed, and the cats, rather than pester me for food, decided to hunker down with me, or more to the point, ON me. I think I still have a crick in my neck from the way Jack settled on my head.
That’s it for the now. I know I promised to post pictures, and I owe three more things about me, but those’ll have to wait. Later!
Last night I finished knitting the first balloon bag (the sparkly blue one). Woot! I still need to stitch the strap to the bag, and of course do the felting part, but woot! It’s a great start to my belated holiday knitting!
Now it’s Sunday afternoon, and I started the second bag–this one in brick red and tan (Cascade 220) with a tag novelty yarn to carry along–while watching the Patriots game. (Three minutes left in the third, and it’s not going so well for my boys.) I’m so glad I organized everything on Friday. On my way out the door this morning, I didn’t have to make any decisions, I just grabbed a pre-packaged ziploc, complete with all three yarns, the pattern, needles and stitch markers. Hopefully I’ll zip through them all just as quickly.
I’d post a picture of the shiny blue bag, but since it’s a Christmas present for an as-yet undetermined recipient, I’m afraid pics will have to wait. Instead, here’s a shot of a Little Coco I made last year with Cascade 220 that I’ve only just gotten around to photographing:

100 Things About Me: 7-9
7. I’m addicted to Scrabulous, which is a problem because the more I play, the better I get, and some of my friends are threatening to stop playing with me. 🙁
8. I have five Celine Dion cds. I know! There’s no way to defend the state of my musical taste when I was in my twenties. If it helps, I have them all unchecked in my iTunes.
9. I’m in a lifetime struggle to the death with my weight. Nov 2006, I weighed 15 pounds less than I do today in Nov 2007. However, in Oct 2007 I weighed five pounds more than I do right now, so you see–constant struggle. The up and down is probably what’s going to kill me in the end.
