When people did help they were given a flattering name. They weren't called "Wikipedia's little helpers," they were called "editors." It was like a giant community leaf-raking project in which everyone was called a groundskeeper. Some brought very fancy professional metal rakes, or even back-mounted leaf-blowing systems, and some were just kids thrashing away with the sides of their feet or stuffing handfuls in the pockets of their sweatshirts, but all the leaves they brought to the pile were appreciated. And the pile grew and everyone jumped up and down in it having a wonderful time. And it grew some more, and it became the biggest leaf pile anyone had ever seen anywhere, a world wonder.

Here and not there, certainly not everywhere

Due to fears of severe headache, I'm hanging out for the weekend at my house while the others are at Dreamstone. It sucks.

I don't have a vehicle so I can't just go somewhere.

I could clean the house....woot. *rolls eyes*

I've kinda shelved the Juno and the Bear due to headachy-frustration and going back to work (definately put a dent in my knitting time ;p). Instead I've pulled out the sock of never-endingness and worked on it. I'm now to the foot, the end is in sight! Yay! The thought of making another of these is just ugh. But that's why I bought the 2 at a time sock book right?! Next time, size 2 needles no matter what. :D The sock certainly does feel good to squish, so that's keeping me going.

I must say, I really have new-found respect for photo-bloggers. I just don't know how y'all have time to take all those pics, resize them, and post them. Maybe you just get into the habit at some point and it gets easier and faster. *shrugs*

Due to the shut-down of MagKnits and the realization that Interweave pulled many of its patterns recently, I've decided to go through my many bookmarked online patterns and save them. Somehow. My computer is already bogged down with the number of pdfs and pics I've saved over the years. This will be a major undertaking. Ideally, I'd like to print them all out and put them into a binder, but I fear for my printer and my wallet if I did that.

Georgia's spring

really...almost 20 degrees drop between today and tomorrow. Right now it's about 80, but it feels warmer. Tomorrow, high of upper 60s. No wonder people are so sick. Well, besides all the allergy inducing yet pretty flowers that are blooming right now.
