Updates!!

Wow - how long has it been?? 15 days?? I'd like to say I've been too busy to blog, but the truth of the matter is that I've probably just been too lazy. I have made a decision as to my living conditions, and after a horrible argument with Ella over my knitting habits, of all things, I have decided to move out. It won't be until January, but the decision has been made. I will not be told on a regular basis when is an appropriate time for me to knit, in the world according to Ella. It ain't happening, believe me. Let's just say I'm far too old to be told what to do, period, on a day by day basis.

So that's that - 'nuff said. Speaking of knitting, no longer am I satisfied to have just one pair of sox on my needles now. I currently have TWO pairs going at the same time!! LOL And a hat to match Greg's sox, which are done, btw. Also - I'm still not done with the baby afghan & Michael is already here!! Plus - it's getting cooler outside, so Mysti may need it!! Lot's & lot's of WIPs - not enuff time in the world for me to get 'em all done, unless I retire. Or just knit for a living. But I don't guess there's a lot of money in that!!

Well, I just wanted to update a bit. I am working, or I'm supp'd to be, so I'd best get back to it. I do have vacation coming up next week!! YAY!! I'm going outta town & believe me, the knitting will go with me. I can't wait! Okay - back to the grind.



Peace!

AWESOME!!

How totally awesome is this????? I was showing my sister yesterday how she could find my blog just by going to Google search & typing in "dragonsox" or "dragon sox" - she was amazed when I showed her it came up on the FIRST search page. So, just how amazing is it when I typed it in JUST now, 12:53PM CST and it came up FIRST!!!!! Yup, that's right!! This blog AND a subcategory showed up in THE top spot on Google!! And I don't even carry any advertisers or have many followers.

This is probably THE silliest thing in the world for a 50+ year old woman to get excited about, but I must admit I am! I think it totally rocks!

WIP news - the orangeade sock is finished once again, and fixed. Now onward to finishing the baby afghan for Misty. She went into labor a week early and is having baby Michael now. Then the camo sox for Greg, and then finish up some *ahem* personal items I'm working on for a little excursion I'm planning in October. Then onto the sock flat dyeing, followed by the dragon sox line of patterns, which I'm working on part-time, on paper, now. I'll get there, I promise!! LOL Gotta run!!


Peace!!

IN MEMORIAM - LEST WE FORGET - 9/11/2001-9/11/2009

First of all, a quiet moment for those that lost their lives on that fateful day eight short years ago. May their bravery & courage never be forgotten, and may this never happen again on American soil, the good Lord willing. God Bless America!



So - here we are. In the fall of 2009. The nip is in the air of the evening, and my mind is whirling with unfinished knitting projects, Hannah's algebra homework & status in school, MY work which is suffering a bit (that needs to be rectified - pronto) and an upcoming excursion I'm making in mid-October. The "orangeade" sox were done, but somehow I made one bigger than the other. So I had to frog the larger one all the way back to the gussett - BOO!!! The camo stripe sox are 1/2 done (working on the toe now) and now Greg wants a hat to match!! LOL This from a manly man! I already had bright orange for a hunter's cap, but he insists on the camo - so I am not responsible for shots to the head in open season!! ;~)

Well, I suppose that's all for the day, I'd best get back to work. Be sure to check out the newest issue of Knitty!! Awesome sock pattern that starts from the HEEL out - can't WAIT to try it!!


Peace!!

Stud died sometime yesterday. Poop. I knew it was gonna happen but still - I hate it. And I found out at a particularly bad moment last nite, so I more or less lost it when I saw that he had died. I din't have a burial for him - just put the cage contents into a trach bag & had Tala help me take it out.

Right now I am at work, doing nothing but playing on the internet & avoiding going home until much later. I've had enough of Ella & her smart-ass comments to me, so she might as well learn to like being by herself again - 'cause that's where she's headed. Just as soon as I get my finances straightened out, my ass is outta there. I most certainly will NOT continue to let her say hurtful things to me - not anymore. I realize she's old & cranky, and that she doesn't always feel good. But there is no reason to take it out on me. Period.

So that's where I am today - gotta get a move on soon. Wanna do a little work before I leave, then take off for the laundromat and Target. I HAVE to have a new bra!! Later, peeps!!


Peace out, especially you, ELLA!!

Sad times....

Kinda sad - my gerbil, Stud, is not doing well. I don't think he's long for the world - he just mostly sits in a corner. I can't tell if he's eating anything but his fortune cookie everyday, but he doesn't run over & frantically beg for it like he used to. He just waits until I offer it. He's somewhere close to 4 yrs old, I think - I've had him over 3 yrs and he wasn't a baby when I bought him. I'm a little surprised at how attached I've become to him. But that will be all the pets I'll have for awhile, or at least until I have my own place.

Anyway - that's all I got for today. Peace to all.

New month.....

Okay - it's officially September, so I may be on here less. Not that I'm blogging alot anyways, but I HAD to make a short entry to tell of something wonderful!! When you type either dragon sox or dragonsox into Google search?? My blog is the 7th or 8th listing!! On the first page!! Does that rock, or what??? I must have picked a really good name, or little known name. Not that anyone will be typing that in, anytime too soon!! LOL Well, it'll make it a little easier for me to tell peeps how to find my blog, tho. But to me - it's SO cool that it's listed on that 1st page of search results. Makes me feel special, somehow..........okay, that's kinda lame, but it does.

I hear the boss man headed down the hall - best be about my work then. Til later, children. Remember - Auntie Suz says KNIT FOR PEACE SAKE!! ;~)


Peace!
