so i went to mommy knitting the other day...no there isn't anything i need to tell you it was an excuse to see people i hadn't in a while, namely jenifer and amy. good to see you guys. and jenifer had yarn she's been dying to give to amy. it matches her little guy's hangey fabric thing (what are those called anyway?) perfectly. i was supposed to email this, but i can't find your address jenifer :( anyway. it was good to see these two and make a new friend. the wife of one of my previous professor, and terrible person that i am, i can't remember her name. but we all know that i'm bad with names so no offense intended ok?

i worked on the stripey socks that i stared a while ago but had put on hold for the italy cardi. i think i'm a stripe or tow past this now, but i don't have a recent photo. fun to knit not all that interesting, but fun nonetheless!

are you doing the two socks on two circs thing here? i haven't tried that, i'm afraid they would be all tangled up when i threw the socks in my knitting bag in a hurry to get into the office one morning! of course, my sock rut does extend to the fact that i have never even tried the two circs method (or a bottom-up either). i guess i just know it works so i keep knitting them the same ole' way! when do you leave for europe?

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...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
