Knits With Cats
Knits With Cats
I'm a senior technical project manager at work, a knit project starter at home and a list-maker everywhere! I'm married and have too many cats, lots of books, almost enough rose bushes, and way too much yarn!

Tuesday Chatter
Tuesday, 28 June 2005 6:04 P GMT-08
OK, no entry for Monday because I spent that time updating the sidebar entries. Things like "Books Read in 2005" (which is mostly updated only because I can't find the lists of books read in March and April - probably buried on my desk) a

weekend wrap up
Sunday, 26 June 2005 8:45 P GMT-08
I got lots done this weekend, but it wasn't exactly the weekend I'd planned. Three of the 4 knitting UFOs or WIPs mentioned in an earlier post are complete, and I made decent progress on the 4th. Might it be possible to finish 5 items in June?
Wasted Wednesday
Wednesday, 22 June 2005 11:59 P GMT-08
Too tired tonight to write the entry that's in my head. I spent much of my afternoon (free due to a 5 a.m. conference call) helping a friend move plants from her old condo to her new house, and then helping paint one of the much-too-white bedroom

Still feeling scattered, so more wandering thoughts and pointless questions:
Yarn Crisis Averted
Monday, 20 June 2005 8:02 P GMT-08
Got a welcome phone call late* last night: the missing socks had turned up, exactly where I thought (hoped) I'd left them! Somehow, both M and D had missed the shocking pink striped case the first time they looked, but noticed it the next time!Whew

I am devastated

I am devastated, but trying to be philospohical.It seems that I have lost my Knit Picks Simple Stripes Snapdragon socks-in-progress.They are in a brightly striped pink Avon bag (yes, pink isn't my color of choice, but the bag was waterproof, the righ

plans changed
Saturday, 18 June 2005 11:59 P GMT-08
Our plans changed, and we are not heading up to Willows and Thunderhill this weekend.Part of me is glad - too much travel in too little time is wearying - and part of me is sad, because I do like Willlows and Thunderhill the best of any racetrack we

WANDERING AROUND
Friday, 17 June 2005 11:08 A GMT-08
A lot of jumbled thoughts:Someone (Erica?) mentioned hearing about a new lotion that gradually darkens skin, expecially for those of us who are so pale we practically glow in the dark. It exists, and I'm trying it out. Only 2 days use so far, whi
Meeting Fillyjonk
Tuesday, 14 June 2005 7:42 P GMT-08
I'm going to recap the weekend's travels in bits and pieces, so it won't be too terribly boring.As mentioned several times here, and also on Erica's blog, Erica and I planned to meet on Friday. At the last minute Mr. Ken decided he'd rather take hi
Home Again

We're home! The anniversary party was awesome, meeting Erica was wonderful, seeing family again was priceless.Traveling is still a pain in the patootie.More tomorrow when I've not been up for 20 hours, and I'm (hopefully) not operating on such a sle

Calm Before the Storm
Wednesday, 8 June 2005 6:50 P GMT-08
There's nothing more I can do from here to make the Anniversary party any better, so I'm not worrying about it. The extra bag is packed with artificial flowers (don't ask), paper tablecloths, floating candles, an autographable photo mat, guest book
Coming Unglued!

I almost lost it today! My Sister (whom I love dearly, and who is incredibly talented, but who is not very organized) called me on the cell phone to get my opinion on vases for the anniversary reception. (I voted for clear, which wasn't one of th

Monday Progress
Monday, 6 June 2005 11:59 P GMT-08
Finished lengthening one sleeve of the yellow salsa and stash yarn t-shirt. One more to go, and if there's yarn left, I may make the body longer as well. I don't really want to pick out the cast-off, but I hate to have just a little of the yarn (es
Weekend Goodness
Sunday, 5 June 2005 9:08 P GMT-08
No knitting pictures today. I thought the yellow and white t-shirt was done, but Mr. Ken and Geoff both think the sleeves need to be about 1 1/2 inches longer. So did I, but I hoped they'd like it as it was...no such luck. Tomorrow the slee

Well, now I know why it seems like life's been kicking me in the butt the last few days.I have a cold.Damn! Somwhow I managed all fall and winter - not a single sniffle - without a flu shot, and as soon as the unofficial summer kick-off happens, I

Hump Day

Knitters Group was restful and good again today. Nothing new, good progress on projects. One of our members returned for the first time since going on maternity leave almost 4 months ago. The yellow t-shirt is getting close to try on time aga
