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!!!

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
