Insert a Lurch {ugh} here please.¬† You see, every morning when I’m taking a shower, one of the cats, if not more, is in the bathroom with me.¬† This morning is was two of them:¬† Earl and Sara.¬† I got out of the shower to see this:
Nice huh?¬† Figures the wee beast hit a brand new roll of t.p.¬† If it isn’t a kid making a huge mess out of my bathroom, the cats have to do it.
I haven’t done a huge amount of knitting recently as I worked from home yesterday.¬† Alex woke up with a fever and had had stomach issues during the knit (all over grandma’s bed).¬† Kat refused to go to school without her brother for a change.¬† So I worked from home so that we could employ zone defense.¬† The kids got a bit of a distraction when the mail arrived bring this:
I bought it primarily for the boy, and yes I got the bundle with the wireless guitar controller.¬† However he doesn’t quite have the coordination necessary to play it.¬† Oh boy did I have fun with it last night though.¬† Worked up a bit of a sweat during my first gig. 
 
Fingers crossed, my order (thanks to wiialerts.com) at Sears.com wasn’t against backordered merchandise but actually in stock, the kids will have a Wii to play with soon.¬† Nintendo has always been the children friendly platform and well, it is kinda cool even if the Xbox will kill it processor/graphicswise.¬† It will be great for things the kids can play.
To further distract you from the lack of knitting pictures around here today, I thought I’d show this.¬† Have I mentioned how very cool my office is?¬† Yes, I still very much love this job and the people.¬† It is a web based company and we are early adopters of various technologies.¬† But then again, we have one of these in the kitchen:
Neat-o huh?¬† It dispenses those cute 8oz glass bottles.¬† See that rectangle basket on top of the machine?¬† Well it has the change that came out of the machine.¬† Yes, we recycle the same coins over and over and over again.¬† Free $.50 soda.¬† Sweet.¬† Oh and next to the change bin?¬† Yes, that’s one of those 2lb Royal Dansk butter cookie tins.¬† There’s ALWAYS one of those up there.¬† Just like there’s ALWAYS buckets of pretzel logs on a file cabinet near the developer’s cage.¬†
It is getting even better, I now have the VP of HR knitting at lunch with me.¬† We had our first SnB at the office last Friday.¬† I came in to find a post-it on my desk, “let’s do lunch and knit today”.¬† Yah baby.¬†
Craft on!
