Reason #4212 that Beer is Awesome

Last night I had some girlfriends over for a little girls-night-in, ghetto style. Pizza replaced our usual brie and olives, and instead of chi-chi martinis and cosmos we were drinking Coors Light out of cans. We played a lively game of Trivial Persuit, 1990's version, in which my roommate and I took the win because I knew that Eazy-E was the genius behind such classics as 'Hit the Hooker' and 'My Baby'z Mama'.

Anyway, all the while I was working on Red Mini-Sweater. I got through one hank of the Peruvian wool and wove in the second during the game:
What are those stitch markers you ask? Well they are reason #4212 that beer is awesome - Who knew a beer tab-top was good for more than cracking open the barley goodness?

While I had the camera out, I snapped some photos of the Obligatory Baby Blanket. I have a feeling the progess is going to slow significantly, since I doubt that I will have time to knit at the new job.

I've been up cleaning homebase since about 10 this morning. About an hour ago, I totally freaked because I couldn't find Viva and I realized I had left the front door open when I took the trash out. After frantically searching the apartment for about a half an hour, I opened my closet and was greeted with this:
I swear she did it on purpose. I think it makes her feel powerful to know she has that sort of control over me.

I love the color of your minisweater--groovy stitch markers, too.

Kitties rule the world, we just haven't caught on.

Given a choice between a closet and running outside, I think will always choose the closet. BG.

SO I get off the flight from NYC to Hong Kong to be greated with a series of voicemails on my mobile phone from my friend who's house/kitty sitting...
They went something like:
"OMG, Loco has dissapeared - I've been looking forEVER. Any suggestions?"
"Me again, slightly freakin' out...Devon is now here helping me look and still NOTHING!"
***Note to reader: NYC apartment=NOT THAT BIG when you have a 27lb cat!
My heart now significantly beating...
"Hey me again... found him, he had burried himself beneath a pile of fabric on your cutting table! No worries!"
In conclusion...I think they ALL love the power they hold over us!
Oh - and rock on with the beer tabs!
