PANIC!!

And Liza thinks she has stress! I am panicking on getting ready AND I have the stress of knowing that I have to drive on the wrong side of the road in 3 days....count them....3 DAYS!!! Not only driving on the wrong side of the road, but I have Liza in the car with me....she has been told she only gets one panic attack....then she gets blind folded! :o)

Fingers and toes, fingers and toes.

Those lyrics from this Tragically Hip song are running thru' my head right now. Because when one is is doing the Kermit the Frog, run around waving your arms over your head panic move, it totally makes sense to spend 2 hours at the salon having a mani/pedi. Yes, yes it does.

Other ways to "calm panic" (that is to say, totally procrastinate), includes searching Google images for photos of places we will be, say, like here:

The Bridge of Allan (town/city closest to UK Knit Camp)

Or here:

University of Stirling where Knit Camp is being held.

Chaos, confusion and panic

Four more sleeps and then we're off here:


And here:
And here:

Where we'll be attending this event.

The panic, chaos and confusion is 'cause we're so not ready. Wish us luck!/div>

Liza {who's maybe a wee bit stressed!}

Just because

Someone was suggesting it was way past time to post again, I am. Not that I have anything interesting to say, or any cool pictures to share.

There's been some knitting, the red/grey/black Dragon Scale Scarf (Rav link) is finished, just needs to be blocked and have the ends woven in. A couple more socks have been finished, but until I find the bag of second skeins, they are doomed to a lonely existence.

Of course there are a number of new projects on the needles, but well, we don't need to discuss that. At least not until I have pictures.

Status Update

For those who may be concerned, Vegetable Sister #2 is back home and says she's doing well.

Happier Post

Some time ago Knitting Grammy tagged me for a meme. I'm supposed to tell you 6 quirky but boring and unspectacular things about myself. I'm normally not too fond of such things, as I always have difficulty coming up with clever stuff to write. However, I can do boring and unspectacular quite well ;-)


1. I can do the Vulcan salute with both hands.

2. I am the world's most impatient driver and will drive *miles* out of my way, as long as it means I'm still moving. Sitting still in traffic drives me (more) mental.

3. I am very, very fond of movies where I can watch stuff blow up (just *stuff* though, I'm not into gore).

4. I seem to be somewhat addicted to Home and Garden television shows.

5. I'm afraid of heights and bridges in particular. Somehow I always feel like I'm falling or sliding off of bridges as I go over them (living in Saskatoon, The City of Bridges, was a particularly interesting time for me).

6. Inspite of this, I love, love, love carnival rides. As long as they aren't open, like the ferris wheel.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and wish everyone of you all the best in the New Year.


Liza {who hopes that was boring and unspectacular enough}

Not a good year.

For the fur-babies at chez hairball.

We lost Manhattan on Friday. Same deal as Callisto, only worse, so we didn't even try to prolong things.

I think I'm just numb now. I suspect it will hit me at some point, but for now I'm not nearly the basket case I was with Callisto.


RIP Little Miss

Liza

P.S. I'll try to have a happier post up soon.
