I have been BUSY

I got my Ravelry invite (I’m on there as MsTarzan if anybody is interested), I made a shawl for a friend whose cancer has decided to come back to visit, I have finished a pair of socks for the 17YO (Horcrux socks from Six Sox knitalong), I have cast on for Margaret Tudor from Tudor Roses.

Now I just need to find the time to add all the new buttons to my blog, tidy the place up a bit, and see about POSTING more often.
It would also help if my PC decided that it didn't actually HATE blogger with a passion and would speed up transactions as opposed to taking as long as possible to do ANYTHING.

FINALLY

OK - I have been trying to post since the 4th of August when I met a charming lady at the knitting group (I've gone totally blank on her name, I'm afraid) who recognised me from my blog.

I was fired up with enthusiasm and all ready to post some scintillating comments on my life but then my pc refused to speak to blogger so I was stuck. Now I can finally get in but I have no pics to show anybody. This sucks.

I will get organised and should have something for you soon, technological co-operation permitting.

I'm not dead

But you could be forgiven for thinking that.

Life has been nuts, far too many people have been having babies, and this new blogger thing seems to take FOREVER to load on my machine.

I have photos. I have made 1 baby blanket, almost 1 baby shawl, almost finished a baby set (hat, socks and mittens) while continuing with my normal life, dressing up like an elf at Hobby-X, and tried not to be driven insane by the pc with a fan that keeps conking in.

Will try to have pc fixed this week and then maybe I can post pics.

I am still alive, just!

The total lack of blogging has been mainly due to an excess of life. I have been studying, things have been happening at work, and I have been trying to be good about going to gym. We've also been having a pile of electrical storms which make connecting to the internet dangerous.

I still haven't finished the thing Miriam tagged me for. Sorry about that. Will see about getting to it on the 20th once my assignment is in and life can get back to normal.

Feeling like a lump right now. Should have gone to gym but just didn't feel like it after an hour stuck in traffic in the pouring rain. It's also the brother's birthday today so we've had pizza and cake. GEE - all this and I STILL wonder why I weigh 75kg after a good few months of gym 4 to 5 times a week.

Talking about gym - what is it with people? I try my best to get to classes early so I can pick my spot. I am not short, I have long legs and arms, and I LIKE MY SPACE. Why is it that, when people arrive late, they seem to think that they can squeeze in right next to me? Last week somebody arrived late, set up about 20cm behind me, and proceeded to place her water bottle, towel, and cellphone about 10 cm away from my left foot. This is an AEROBICS class. We are going to MOVE AROUND. Can you say DUH! I told her that she'd better move her stuff as I WAS going to stand there.

Anyway - off to post this and try to get some work in on my assignment. I had a hectic social round this weekend - out on Friday and Saturday night and home early on Saturday and Sunday mornings. What can I say - that brother of mine might work on my nerves some (OK a LOT) of the time but it is nice to have a tame babysitter.

Before you all start staring in awe and amazement at my hectic social schedule, please remember that this is more times than I have been out in the last 6 months or so.
