NaNoWriMoOhNo!

Aauugghh! There are only 25 days until National Novel Writing Month starts! I'm too busy! I have too many things to knit! I'm... I'm getting 'way ahead of myself...

On the other hand, this past year was so busy, I haven't had time to finish editing last year's novel and get the freebie paper copy from Lulu.com (which is awesome, by the way... to get a real hard paper copy of your month's hard work... shee-ya....), so I may as well pre-panic for this year's event.

There are numerous National Months that have sprung up, including National Sweater Knitting Month. Of which I have not joined. (Neither has DM, by the way, even though she has the time and the talent... Not to mention a knitting machine... right?)

This morning we had the luxury of not setting the alarm clock. No one was puttering around downstairs, clanking mugs and coffee pots, no one stepped right outside the front door to have a smoke, no one clog-danced on the futon in the room next door. So we got to sleep until 8:30, and then I made pancakes and we cleaned the house. We boogied up to our former stomping grounds (we gotta find new friends down here), I bought $40 worth of yarn at Yarn Place that I *needed* (hey, they were having a sale), then pigged out at Outback (well, as long as we were that close to one...). Been playing with Ravelry, loading project and stash photos. Gee... If I had spent that time knitting, I would have probably finished the front of the wrap sweater by now, or have gotten the toe increases for the Rainbow socks done. What a goof.
