Told by none other than yours truly.
See, I got home from work last night at about 9:15pm. I was supposed to get out of work at 7, but I didn't leave the desk til 8. Then I had some dinner in the employee cafeteria. It's not the best food, but free is always good.
So then I walked home and talked to my mom on the cellphone for a half-hour. Partly about stuff in general, partly about the upcoming family wedding, and partly about my next "big" vacation.
I got into the house at 9:15, as I said, and had to check email and stuff like that. I also had to do some online research for the upcoming vacation. Then I started to feel sleepy and just not motivated to move from my computer chair.
Then, it was all I could do to just roll myself into bed...
... so all that talk yesterday about how it was going to be this week's big knitting day? Lies!
Sorry! Well, we'll hold our hopes out for Saturday, which should be our next big knitting day. Maybe I'll do two rows of Rosetta blankie to make up for my slack-ness...
And I have the prospect of a short trip to New Orleans to motivate me through all this business. Sure, it's mostly for a convention, but I imagine that New Orleans will play New Orleans and I'll have a lot of fun.
Anyhow, back to work... and tonight, to "Sweet Charity!"

Also what kind of yarn did you use for that? Sorry for all the questions..thanks,Claudia
Any tips on securing tickets to shows while on a budget? I am familiar with the tickets booth, but that isn't generally an option as I work and just making the curtain can be a struggle depending on NJ Transit. I will be seeing "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" next Sunday--can not wait. I would love to see anything written by David Mamet.....

PS The Rosetta Blankie is amazing--love the front and the back. Also, the green, while very dark, is distinctly green on my monitor at work, but at home it looks black. I am not tech savy, so I have no idea why.....
Posted by: Cynthia at April 21, 2005 03:55 PMThat's it--I'm coming with you to Nawlins. Convention, schmonvention--that's not what that town was built for. Who are they kidding?
Posted by: Em at April 22, 2005 08:40 AMi'm getting a bit obsessed by this blankie - can you tell me roughly what weight of yarn Zara is? i dont think I can get Zara so easily in the UK.

I just i-met you through curlypurl. Your work is beautiful. I grew up in New Orleans and lived in the French Quarter for quite a while. If you want to email me I can tell you of some wonderful places off the beaten path to eat and play.
