When it rains, it pours...

In both a literal and figurative sense...


Showershas been the forecast for the past week.  It's been coming down quite significantly making it rather wet outside.  (Wet crutches don't work very well on linoleum, just for your information.)


I have been without my car since Thanksgiving evening--it started acting strangely on the way home from Thanksgiving dinner, and DH and BIL are trying to decide just how much of a new transmission it needs.  Naturally, DH's car started acting up this week as well.  Very not cool.  We're kind of frustrated with vehicles around here right now...


The last week of classes has past, and all final whatnot is due this upcoming week.  For me this means papers, papers, papers... Sunday: Big Big Big paper due online.  Tuesday: all homework due for morphology.  Wednesday: TPA online.  (Boo!!!)  Thursday: Ling 100 final & Language Ideology paper.  Next weekend: a whole bunch of who-knows-what that I'm really lacking motivation to do.


I'll also be saying goodbye to my second graders...


But after that, I am done!  Which means I'll have time to do all the knitting I want to, and finally sew the skirts for which I've had material since the summer.


And I'm registered for next semester: World Regional Geography, Borders & Regions, and Native American Languages.  I'll also be TA for one of my ling professors, finally picking up the 3 units of independent study for the Q'anjob'al dictionary project I've been working on since the summer, and possibly doing cognitive linguistics as independent study as well.


Progress to the unbloggable project is slow, for unbloggable reasons.  I'm working on a second unbloggable project as well, so there's really very little to say on a knitting front.  But these are helping me keep my sanity on the journey to the land of research papers...


But I really need to get off the computer and start sifting through massive amounts of research.

    I do know about this unbloggable project, I believe and I bet I can guess at the unbloggable reason. Sorry all is so unbloggable, and super sorry to hear about DH car. I hope you figure it all out.

FO Friday, Post Holiday Edition

Image
Well, another winter gifting season has come and gone, which means I have hand-knits to show you.  I'm trying something new this year with the blog, as I was such a terrible blogger last year, only typing up four very photo-full entries.  I'm going to aim to (maybe... we'll see how far I actually get) post at least twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays for WIP (Work in Progress) Wednesdays and FO (Finished Object) Fridays. Today, though, lots of photos again because of all the stealth projects I gifted. First, a pair of gifts for Redhead Sister's baby, due sometime this month, Team Yellow (they decided not to find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl): Pompom Hat : (I love how these look on itsy bitsy people) Knit in a soft green colour (actually in the green left over from the frog hat I knit for Elder Sister's son). Little Red Sweater : This one actually shares yarn with Jo's Little Red Riding Hood cape I also knit another GA

NO-vember... Moving on...

If there was an award for being an inconsistent blogger, I would win.  My last post was a month ago as I was one week into NaKniSweMo. I think I'm going to add November National Whatever Months to my "I don't" list.  I did get about 16 inches done, which I calculate to be 19,074 stitches.  Not bad for moving in the middle of November, but not exactly a 50,000+ stitch completed sweater. I still have quite a bit to do; It's not close to done by any stretch of the imagination.  But for now it's on hold as I frantically knit Christmas presents.  I read the Yarn Harlot's blog today as I was taking a break from knitting and completely agree with the statement of "I feel like I'm going into this Christmas with no reserves."  I started knitting for this Christmas months ago, and yet I'm still really pushed for time.  (That and my family is Christmas-ing on the 19th, which cuts into knitting days.) I haven't completed anything since my

I get cranky

Hello (echo, echo, echo...)! I'm not sure if anyone is still following my blog since it's been over two years since I last posted, and if you want two posts you have to go three years back. There are two things in my life that have led to blog silence: 1) small child. Jo is now 5! 2) smart phone. I blogged when I sat at the computer. I do much less  computer sitting since I a) graduated from college, and b) got a smart phone and I don't like composing blogs on my phone. I can't format in the same ways and I don't like that. But here I am, blogging on my phone. Another observation that I have made about myself is actually the thought seed for this blog post. Yesterday I was looking at my current WIPs (that's Works in Progress, Muggles) and I was feeling twitchy. I didn't WANT to work on the monster Jo wanted to give Daddy for Christmas, or the hat I started for Jo, or that project I am fixing for a friend, or that languishing sample knit, or those so
