October: Australian for "No Time To Do Anything This Month"

Follow with me here: Since the weekend of September 29th, we have: Been to Matt's Uncle's 50th Birthday Party, moved out of my mom's house and Matt's apartment, danced the night away at 3 weddings, and been to a big work packing house party. AND, we have at least 5 more major events before this month is over. Add trying to move in ("do you remember what bag all my socks are in?!?" "Where the EFF is that purse?!?" "Dammit! I haven't seem my size 8 addi turbos since we left the apartment..."), a co-workers departure which means 150% more work for me, and oh yeah, the WEDDING (96 days!), and it's been a crazy, crazy few weeks around here. Let's not even talk about how I found out it is possible to sleep for 10 hours at night and still wake up exhausted with dark circles under your eyes.

Party Time!


My knitting actually hasn't suffered too bad, which shocks even me. Since we've last chatted (or whatever you call me typing a blog post and you reading it), i've made significant progress and almost finished the Minimalist Cardigan. This is obviously a totally out-of-date photo (I have all but the last sleeve finished), but it's the best I've got:


(yes, this is the same photo posted last time. Sorry, I'm lame like that)

It's Knit Picks Andean Silk, and I don't even remember when or why I bought this yarn. Or why I even started this in the first place, since I have more WIPs than should be legal. But somehow it's made it past the deadly 75% mark where I usually lose intrest in what I am working on.

My posting will be sporatic at best, but I will try. How 'bout a picture of Viva in the meantime?

She's thinking "Can you PLEASE just live in the same place for more than 1 year? You've had me 5 years and this is the 7th place we have lived!!!! Stop it before I slash your car tires..."
