this week's draggin'
someone at work said it's because of mercury being in retrograde. so workmates and i are blaming everything on that. even though it's probably not the case. everyone driving this morning was seemingly intoxicated. everyone at work is all moved up into our little area.. and it's nice being close enough to shout for attention; but it also means people's homelives are broadcast when they're on the phone. :/

wow
this blog looks boring when i don't have anything to say. work's slowing down a little bit, which is just as hard to get used to as when it speeds up. my daily bikeride is still good. i got a bike computer to tell me average speed, max speed, odometer, ride time, and some other stuff. kurt and i bought a wind trainer so we can still bike in the wintertime. but it only came with one axle, so either kurt or i get to change our rear axle and the other one has to find an alternative.

hmm
i just got a new OSX machine at work and it's weird getting used to it. also, i had to delete about 12 comment spams this morning. you'd think it was as easy as just pressing "delete", but it isn't. especially since my blacklist program doesn't seem to work on my host's server.

wow
this week has gone kinda slow.. even with being out on monday. kurt and i went on on a date last night to the tornado room. we haven't been out for a nice dinner since my birthday; so i figured it was time.
good news: i've been doing these online survey things for a couple years.. just regular questions about purchasing habits, magazine subscriptions, etc. and every time a person completes a survey, they're entered into a sweepstakes. well, after this long, i finally won $100. i just have to wait for it to show up in the mail.
also, a friend of mine is becoming a daddy at the end of october, and has asked me to knit a baby sling. i'm now searching for a sewn baby sling to compare.

whew
i took a mental health day today.. and i waited until 7:45 for my daily, 6 mile bikeride. it was nice in the cold sprinkle. now i'll curl up with law and order.

oops
i did it again. i double-entered two large checks to woodman's into my register. at least, when i do this, it's a mistake made to my benefit.
i was browsing through amazon yesterday and noticed about 5 knitting books that are not-yet-released. i was gunna use my gift card from work to grow my knitting book collection, but i don't want to wait until they're published. one of the books on my wishlist has been listed since april 4 or some such nonsense. so instead, i got outkast and a couple drumnbass cds.

blankey
i had an italian sweater that i got at marshall's for pretty cheap, but it wasn't very flattering on me. so it stayed in my closet for about 2 years until last weekend when i decided to frog it and make a blanket. i think it's gunna be a lapghan:

thumpthumpthump
on my way to work yesterday, my car started a funny noise. not funny haha, but funny strange. anyhow, i called up exboyfriendmechanic, and he said i probably had a tire worn to the nubbins. so i left work early yesterday (thanks bossman!) and sat at the local farm 'n' fleet for 45 minutes while i got four brand-spankin' new tires put on my car. oh, and four more rows done on my blanket. the thumpthump is gone.

monday's kinda stink around here.. i've gotten a lot of work done today, but it has still been a seemingly lengthy day. maybe it's because of my interrupted sleep. :/

late night shenanigans
being an old lady, it's hard for me to stay out past dark. last night, i managed to stay at the tavern til 1:30 while enjoying the tunes of my friend bob's band, pupy costello and his big city honkeytonks and another acquaintance's band who did covers of traditional american wedding songs. it was fun and now i can't hear so well. i'm awake too early, and already had a poached egg and toast. now i think i need a nap.

egrgg
i am so busy, but i have to attend this lame OSX training for 1.5 hours. which means i'll probably end up staying 1.5 hours late to get work done. :/ i also can't check my home email from work still because my web-based email checking company is messing everything up. moral of the story: computers are dumb today.
August 4, 2004
aww
i gave the blanket to the dad of the recipient. he says she'll love it. :)
edit:// oh! i got to give the blanket to the little one myself. she applauded me after she felt the blanket.

well, poo
kurt's sister was supposed to come in from ny today but their flight was delayed 3 hours because of some computer nonsense. so we're going to do it all tomorrow. they want to see the terrace and the capital and state street. so i get to pretend to be a tourist tomorrow. :/
fo!
i finished the baby blanket. the recipient doesn't know about it, so i can post it here. it doesn't look like much, but it's super soft.
