So its been 5 days already since I last posted, I've been informed. Oops.
I've completed the Madil Eden scarf for Thing 2's old preschool coop benefit on Saturday. It came out ok, not as super wonderful as I had hoped, but it will make a nice summer scarf. I know, summer scarf? It gets cold at night here in the desert, what can I tell you. Hundertwasser Opal socks are done though:
Now I'm on to the other 5 projects, I am looking forward to getting the percent list of what I've got on needles in the right column, just so I can keep track of what I'm doing. Currently at the top of the list is the STR sock and a tote in Cotton Classic from the Spring IK.
At the computer lab, it is report card week, which is somewhat crazy making. The report card software is "written" (I imagine the same way I "write" the code in this blog) by someone in filemaker pro and seems to be working ok, despite dire warnings that it was horribly buggy. There's a bit of operator error involved, I think, on the part of the teachers. At my school, the report cards are printed in the computer lab, because the fast laser printer lives there, so there's a lot of last minute dashes to get me to print the things out.
For some reason, after my bout of flu, I actually feel like cooking somewhat complicated food. Challenging even. I've been such a workaday cook for the last year or so, it is really refreshing to be inspired to extend myself again. I'm not talking Julia Child or anything (hey, it's still after work/school), but food involving more than 3 ingredients and chopping is unusual for me lately. Cooking day to day dinner is such a drag, I can't even make light of how I loathe it. Yeah yeah, I am keeping my family healthy and showing I love them whatever. I'm ready for the Human Chow food pellets in a 50# bag. Oh, wait, we have that already, its called cold cereal.
On an exciting note, I have a trip planned for the distant future. Thing 1 has decided to take me with him when he becomes the first person to travel to a black hole and return. I can hardly wait!
