One Crazy Fiber Lady

Slacker Mom

I’m such the slacker.  While I whipped out two munchkin hats and one mitten on Saturday, I’ve yet to complete a pair of mittens. 

Commuting has its upside:  more knitting time.  Yet there is a darkside
to this commuting thing:  more chances to lose things.  Yes, I lost the
first mittten.  Okay it was the same day that I also lost one of the
bamboo dpn’s to the escalator at the Secaucus Transfer Station.  Damn
it.  So while I’ve now knitted two mittens, I still have 3 more to go
before both kids have warm hands.  Thank goodness this seems to be the
winter of el nino and the temps are in the 60′s for the next few days!

At least I’m halfway through the mate for this one now.  While it is only about an hour or so of knitting each, they are taking forever to complete.  Could be because I’ve been distracted. 

I’ve been reading on the train recently as I’ve gotten deep into a book.  So deep that I actually stayed up waaaaay too late last night (2:30AM) finishing the damn thing.  Good book too.  I love Nelson DeMille.  I have his newest book all locked and loaded on the iPAQ to start next.

However, that wasn’t the only thing that had me distracted.  The new camera arrived yesterday.  Woot.  Naturally I had to play with it for a bit.  Sorry, no pictures yet from it, but oh man, it takes some nice shots! 

There’s a new addiction as well.  I managed to break free after a day of the Weffriddles to get hooked on something else.  Yesterday on the subway I spotted the girl next to me playing a game on her iPod.  I browsed through the iTunes store and found the game.  Zuma.  Oh.My.G-d.  I spent far too long playing it last night… oh and on the train in today.  I’m such a slacker.

My sister gave Kat a Disney Princess costume kit for Hanukkah.  Expectedly, Alex was the first to actually dress up in one of the costumes.  Good though that it triggered Kat to try on something too…

And finally, some long overdue kitty zen…

SnB tonight, I just hope I can stay awake that long, and shake this headache I have too :(

Craft on!
