hello

so i'm madly knitting on my mom's hooded pullover i don't know why...she can't wear it until fall anyway...and i'm avoiding dave's socks for now. i'm not really sure why but i am happy to report that the in progress sock fits. (he tried them on with his eyes closed...he wants to be surprised) i have yet to take photos of my estes yarn. or my germany yarn. but i am stil working on posting trip photos on the trip blog. i apologize for my tardiness, my efforts were put on hold last week. qwest sucks. our internet was out for most of the week. if yours was out too. make sure to record the days and times call and holler at the m and they will refund the missed time. trust me it adds up! in other news i am attempting to find work. i'm signing up with temp agencies. realizing i should have pursued a different degree cause what i'd like to do now i'll have to study a lot to get into. and wishing i had about 10 more brains to deal with all the thinking about findinga job that i've been doing.
i will have a surprise for a friend in a couple of days. super secret crafting going on here in my down time. don't worry. i'll post photos.
well i think i'll pop on the headphones, listen to a little phillip pullman story time and knit on my log cabin house socks from handknit holidays!!!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
