The Unblogger

WTF? Seriously, people, WTF happened here? I mean, I love my blog. I love posting about the Beckster and my knitting and general crap. so why haven't I posted in almost a month? I mean, I've got pictures ready to go up and everything! I have no idea how this happened. It's certainly not for lack of stuff to blog about. For instance:

There was a party. People came, there was cake, Becky spit out frosting (this cannot be my child).







I got this book from my Secret Pal a couple of weeks ago, and while I did thank her privately, I've been remiss in thanking her here, so consider this both a thank you and an apology.



I had checked this out from my local library once upon a time after reading all across the blogiverse about the dishcloth. And while I did like the dishcloth, there weren't enough other patterns in it that I felt I would knit for me to buy it. And I didn't have (or make) the time before it was due back to actually read it. I do like the down-homeness of it...it reminds a little of my own mom and aunt and stepmom. I'm really glad my pal sent this to me.

I've got Dad's socks done except for the heels. I'd have the heels done except that I misread the instructions for the Cherry Tree Hill design contest, for which I have The Perfect Design(tm), and first prize is $1000, so that would be nice to win. As they say, you can win if you don't enter. Only, see, I somehow read that they needed the garment in hand by July 30. Uh, no. June 1. You can see how I would be confused, right? Very similar dates. Crap. Lucky I checked the dates just to be sure. So I started the sweater Monday, ripped it out Wednesday, restarted it Thursday, ripped it out this morning (I twisted it yesterday when I joined. Sigh.). No idea if it'll be done in time to get there, but I definitely see overnight postage in my near future if it is.

Let's see...there was something else...what was it...seems like it was sort of important...oh! I know! I'm pregnant! Yes, Becky Jayne will have a little brother or sister in about six months. This may explain why I've been more interested in eating and sleeping than just about anything else lately (including blogging, apparently). I talked to a friend of mine today who just had her second one with about the same age difference we'll have. She wished me luck.
