My first sock

June 13th, 2005 — 10:25am

I’m about to give up on ever taking a good picture ever again. Let’s all take a moment of silence for the loss of my Nikon D-70.

*sigh*

I don’t think I ever posted about my ipod(!) though. The ipod fairy felt so bad that I had to give up the camera that he dropped a silver mini in my lap! I love it so much.

So here’s my sock, in poor photo quality.

It was so, so rainy here this weekend that we weren’t able to camp or go to the circus (we even had free tickets) or walk down to the art and jazz festival or do much of anything. We did take our obligatory Friday trip to Target, though, where I continued to drool over the sushi plates and cool oval serving bowls that match my dishes perfectly. Which, because life is always like this, I’m sure, will be gone by the time I have money to purchase them.

AND strangest of all, it was cold here. It’s never cold here in June. It’s never cold here in May!! This has been the absolute strangest weather ever! The low was 45º. I had to dig out all of our winter bedding and clothing. I’m not complaining though, because Saturday night, Jim and I were able to sit out under our gazebo and drink hot chocolate by the fire while it rained. It was almost as nice as camping, especially because we got to sleep in our comfy bed!

Thanks to the weather, I was able to finish my sock and start on it’s mate. We also watched “The Forgotten”, “King Aurthur” and “Alfie”. I give them all a rating of 3.75 stars. Worth watching, but don’t expect too much, well “The Forgotten” was pretty good, I’ll give it a rating of 4 stars.

I also decided that I DO like my ring. I got a slightly better picture of it.

Some times I annoy myself with how picky I am!

Book quiz

June 13th, 2005 — 9:40am

Princess Jazz tagged me for this book quiz. I’ll try to answer the questions, but since in my spare time I can either knit or read, you can guess what I choose.

1. Total number of books I’ve owned.
I’m too lazy to go count, but I’ll tell you that my book collection in NO WAY compares to my sisters. Who lives in a teeny, tiny apartment and everywhere you look, there are books and books and books.
2. The last book I bought.
“Chainfire” by Terry Goodkind (I haven’t even read it because I don’t want to be left in suspense until the next book comes out.)
3. The Last Book I read.
my Bible and uuhhh, Weekend Knitting
4. 5 books that mean something to me.
*My Bible – the only book I’ll ever “need”
*”Stitch n Bitch” by Debbie Stoller – this is how I learned to knit, it’s very dear to my heart.
*The whole Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, I never thought I’d like fantasy books, but I really like this series.
*A breast feeing book that I can’t find at the moment, but it was called something like, “So that’s what they’re for?” It was very influential in my breast feeding efforts.
*”The Visitation” by Frank Peretti. The book in and of itself is just ok, but there are a few parts about corporate church that I always think about, even years after reading the book.

5. Tag 5 people and request they fill this out on their journals.
let me know if you want to be tagged.

I’ll be back in a few to post pics of my first sock! And yes, yes, the menu will be back this week too.
