Gearing up for Sock Summit 2011



Yes, I'll be wearing it at Sock Summit, as well as on the train ride up and back. No, I don't care that it is the saddest looking Viking anyone has ever seen. Yes, those are socks for horns and socks at the ends of the 'braids.' No, I don't think it looks silly, I think it looks awesome. (Well, okay, it IS a little silly, but that's part of what makes it awesome, too.)

Little Things that can Make Me Happy



1. Airplane contrails.

2. Remembering something that's eluded me for hours or days.

3. Seeing my sweetie.

4. Watching baseball (an in-person game makes me a teeny bit happier, but I'm okay with watching on TV).

5. Knitting when it's going well.

6. Knitting even when it's not going to well.

7. Making a dinner that doesn't suck.

8. Seeing clean countertops.

9. Knowing I'm caught up on work with nothing hanging over my head.

10. Seeing our little apples getting slowly bigger every day!

Sock Summit 2011!



Easy registration this year, got all the classes I was interested in, the system didn't crash. And just like 2009, I'm sure that even if I didn't get into any classes at all, I'd still have a blast.

Bin Laden is Dead

On the one hand, time to celebrate.

On the other hand, I'm afraid of the retaliation. I was already leery of traveling on 9/11/11 (we have to be in San Diego that weekend and the following week), now I'm really going to be concerned.

But good news, nonetheless.
