I want to write something witty today, I really do. But I’ve got nothing right now. Maybe later. Right now I’m too busy working the code. It is lunchtime though, and I’m hungry – but I don’t know what I want. So, what are you having for lunch today?
Mike is coming home today! Mike is coming home today! I’m dancing around the house, I’m so excited that he is coming home today!
I finally reached a point where I could sleep at night (sheer exhaustion will do that to you), but it still hasn’t been the same with him gone. I’m so happy that I’m about to go to the airport to pick him up!
In the latest knitting news, I stopped in to my LYS and asked the lady that taught my sock class how to purl Continental. She showed me the regular way, and then she showed me the Norwegian purl. I picked it right up, and I am zooming along. I love it. Before, any time I tried to rib I ended up with a bunch of extra stitches and a whole lot of frustration. Purling Continental takes care of all of that! Now I can finally start on my socks. Wheee!
Mike is coming home today!
Now that I’ve been knitting for a month, I was really curious to see if I coud finally teach myself how to knit Continental. All of the local shops teach how to knit the English/Throw method, but after watching my friend Katy knit the other way, I really wanted to try it out. It is amusing because almost all of the local knitters that I have met knit English, but so many people online knit Continental. I wonder if it a geographic thing and follows along with certain regions of the country.
Tonight, with my Booga Bag in hand, I watched the “Getting Started” episode of Knitty Gritty that I had saved on the TiVo – and when they covered how to do the knit stitch … I DID IT! I’ve now done about 5 rounds Continental, and it is so smoooooooth. Plus I love knitting in the round while watching TV or talking on the phone. This is just great! I’m so excited!
Nuns suspended for going on wild Club 18-30 holiday – it seems that 12 nuns from the U.S. (supposedly) went on a trip and had sex with 43 men in 2 weeks. Because they wanted to experience sin.
Now if 12 nuns each had sex with one man, that is one thing. But 43 men in 2 weeks? That is way beyond sin. Really way beyond sin. Just add water and get an insta-slut!

WARNING: This news article may or may not be true. It may just be a satire newspaper in the same vein as The Onion. I have linked to a story that made me laugh. I took it as a joke, almost like that one about the Priest, the Rabbi and the Minister that walked into a bar. It was not my intention to insult Catholics in any way, and I do not feel that nuns are sluts. (I am especially not saying that “all nuns are sluts,” because that would be a very broad statement that is simply not logical.) I linked to it only because it made me giggle. My link is no indication of my sentiments about the Catholic faith. I am, under no circumstances, Catholic bashing.
(What a said day it is when I have to post a “disclaimer” like this on my own site. This is also the first time I have been forced to close comments on a post, and any future comments about this topic will be deleted.)
I was a slacker yesterday and only went through my critical e-mail, leaving the mailing lists, spam, and all the other goodies for this morning. As I went through them, there was one from Hotwire with the subject line of:
“Why aren’t you in Europe?”
Dude, that’s a good question. Anyone have a spare plane ticket?
