I appreciate the commiseration for the less than ideal living situation and reminder that this too is going to end. Soon too. I’m putting a note in with my rent check next week, giving them my notice that I’m going to move. That will make it all real, won’t it? I came home last night to no TV. Not entirely sure what happened, must check near the garage tonight as I was too darn tired to deal with it last night. I did make sure to unplug the ReplayTV until I figure it out as the damn thing was trying to record something last night and getting nothing but blue screen. Just what I’d need it to do, replace all the Big Comfy Couch episodes with blue screen. Wouldn’t my life be complete then?
I met my sister and two of her other bridesmaids at David’s Bridal last night. With twins in tow, we all tried on a variety of colors and skirt designs to pick out the faves. This is the winner. Sadly the picture of the top doesn’t convey the gorgeous back to it. It is a pretty dress and as bridesmaid dresses go, awfully good 
Unfortunately the whole dress shopping had the twins out rather late. I didn’t get them into the car to go home until 1/2 hour after their bedtime. They both conked in the car. Kat never woke up, even as I took off her shoes and coat. I plunked her in bed and she stayed down until she turned up next to my bed at 5:30 this morning. Alex showed up there at 12:30. At least he wasn’t restless and went straight to sleep. How we’ve gone from the occasional time in mom’s bed when really sick to a nightly (early morning) routine is beyond me. I care more about how to break this before waiting for them to grow out of it. I wonder if I can crate them at night. Kidding! It wouldn’t be so bad if they followed normal bed etiquette and kept their heads on the pillow and feet towards the end of the bed. Nooooo. I woke this morning with three legs draped across me with a fourth foot poking me in the back. We did vaguely resemble a puppy pile.
I didn’t knit very much yesterday, understandably as I was a bit tired. I’m still hoping that I can get Klaralund off the needles tonight, but not if I have to #$% around with the cable wire for most of the evening. I do have to relate an event that happened which should be noted in the record books. I went down to Seaport Yarn with a coworker, who needed needles for that MUST START project (yarn arrived the day before 
, and, are you ready for this, DIDN’T BUY ANYTHING. Can you believe it? Not even a skein of sock yarn! Not so much as a stitch marker. I did fondle some Rowan crack Kidsilk Haze in a very yummy orangish color, but was strong and put it back. There are a couple of projects I want to finish off, need to get the WIP list back under control before I cast on anything else. Deb’s Lace Neckwarmer or the Orenberg inspired Mountain Stream Scarf are both serious contenders in the crack usage department. But then again, I have CONES of KSHlike yarn from Silk City Fibers just sitting in the twins’ room in 4 different colors. Oh, did I mention I joined another KAL? The Sampler Stole Along the Eunny formed, like I do so well at KALs. Nope, haven’t started it, but I do have the yarn for it sitting in stash. Would be a perfect use of the J&S cobweb that I bought back during the Shetland Lace workshop.
Anyway, I’m tired and just rambling now, so I’ll call it a day….
Craft on!
