Join Me in Snarkville

First, a HUGE thank you to anyone who supported my friend.  I checked in with him last night and I think he was just shy of HALF of the replacement iPod — guys, that’s half in something close to 7 hours.  That’s about the most amazing thing I can think of, since frankly neither of our two blogs get HUGE traffic numbers, after all this isn’t Mir or the Yarn Harlot.  I digress.  Thank you for the bottom of my heart.

Now, in other news, I think I may have finally stopped crying about it.  Yes, I totally think I’m an emotional wreck because of the PMS thing, but seriously if I thought about it yesterday I teared up and not just those wet eyes that you can wipe away tears.  Oh no, because apparently my hormone levels were at an all time high, I was in full on tears streaming down the face crying.  It was really rather embarrassing.

Prince came home last night and asked about how Healy was at his follow-up vet appointment (the one for his booster shots) and I said, “I couldn’t even take him, I’ve been too emotional.”  Prince tried to use this as a reason for me not to go to knit night, but seriously as if that was going to happen.

So, today, Healy and I MUST set off for his booster shots.  While I’m gone, I’m opening up Healy’s room for the other kitty’s to smell and try to get used to the fact there may be another cat in this house.  I’m REALLY hoping that we might begin the Kitty Summit sometime this weekend or next week.

Finally,  I need to reach out for some advice.  I have a fair bit of traveling coming up over the next several months.  I’ve been trying to plan my knitting out for these trips.  Which do we think makes more sense:

1. Attempt to see each trip as a challenge to complete a project and begin it while waiting in the airport with the intention of being done by the time I return to my house?  This should/would yield three FOs, but if I were foolish to only bring it to work on, then I run the risk of being done knitting well before the trip is over.
2. Seek out the one big project with the hope that over the course of my three trips that I’d have it done. I’m not entirely sure what this project would be, unless it was one orange blanket (for which I want it noted that I started and ripped out my entire first square — I really need a REAL plan and not a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ plan.
3. Suck it up and knit socks, and have the traveling sock with me?
4. Something else I’m not thinking of yet?

Happy Friday, folks.  Enjoy the weekend an wish us well as we attend birthday number 4 (or is it 19?) of the season this weekend.  (At least this one is NOT in the land of the Rat Pizza Joint.)
