?@#^%$&*($@!

otherwise known as technical difficulties.

well i was at knitting last night and i was talking to erica and she thought i should blog about all the bad luck we've been having around here lately. and i laughed it off and figured why would anyone want to hear about that...i mean hell its only a dryer right? whats the big deal, so mom and the cousin who is in from out of town can't get dressed on the morning of graduation cause their clothes are soggy. whats the big deal? not to mention i should now be packing for our trip but i could just go to the laundromat, oh, right the car's in the shop...why? well the window is busted, and having had things stolen out of a locked closed window car before i'm only a little squeamish. how did it break well...i mean my car window only jammed on the way to graduation last week. 20,000 people on campus i'm running late due to the dryer, and the car window dies and i have to leave it parked on campus with the window down? fortunately nothing was stolen this time. but anyway. so i've been bussing it to knitting lately. doing something good for the environment. yeay. and somthine else minor happened (can't remember what now) so i figured, hell, thats 3 we're done but no...

the bad luck is back. my ipod is on the blink. for a while it had to be reset often but then it was ok. well not its not. i'm leaving town for 3 weeks on wednesday i've got trains and planes and automobiles that will be nothing but engine noise to me with out it, and it dies. i called that little guy that lives in the phone again. he's grouchy. i might out to let him out for a while may improve his mood. but anyway, i digress. he didn't work his maic and bring the ipod back from the dead. he tells me to mail it in and i'll have it back in 7 days. oops you won't be in town? well we can send it to you on your trip...i don't think so. can't you imagine it bouncing from hotel to hotle as we wander around italy? i'd never see it again.

anyway. long story short i'm tuneless for my trip. on the bright side. the swimsuit i ordered from victorias's secret is here. its been alreted. damn straps were too long and i nearly flashed dave's brother...horrific experience for both of us i'm sure. the dryer repairman was here this morning. in theory i can wash AND dry my clothes now...if it doesn't melt them. might let mom have the first go around on that one. and when (if) my car gets done i can drive to my little heart's content. maybe carpool down to denver knitting tomorrow night at highlands ranch i dunno. just whatever you do don't roll the window down k alex? i just can't take it :)

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...
and a last farewell...before i ripped out sunrise circle i took a parting photo...this sweater was jus tnot meant to be. too many other things wanted to be finished first. soon to come the bad penny 2 that i'm making for my trip to italy!

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
