I am so excited! I acquired a Wacom tablet a few weeks ago, and apart from doodling in a trial version of Adobe Illustrator, I haven’t done much with it until tonight.

I'm off

But not by much. :-/
TGIF. It’s a travel day for me. I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, too much playing with the technology.
Lisa and Adam’s wedding pictures were blogged yesterday – aren’t they incredible?! I want to be able to make photos like these.
But I’ll have to settle for a picture of Monday’s sky. Words can’t describe the day this was: cool, fresh-washed, bright and huge. I walked out of the building for some fresh air, and I was compelled to take a picture.
Have a wonderful day!
Still here, sort of

Time’s gotten away from me. The site even went dark for a couple days, because I haven’t even been looking at email. Real life is kind of stressful right now, nothing disastrous, but cumulatively more than I could handle gracefully. Nuff said.
Some knitting’s been happening. I’m on the first sleeve of CeCe; started the body of Hillswick; and in Florida I bought some linen yarn (Euroflax Sport) and started Annie Modesitt’s Fern Lace Twinset. No FO’s, though.
Motherly bragging: Sean’s band, Man v. Moon, won the “Battle of the Bands” finals and have some great songs (you can here a couple on their site). Staffan made the Honor Roll, and won 3rd place in the intrascholastic Math competition. And Lisa is amazing – you can see here just how much she does, and how well!
While I’m looking on the bright side, I’m thinking about the other 1,096 times I’ve posted here over the last 6 years … It’s amazing how many times I’ve thought “When did X happen” – and found the answer here. I may be irregularly for a few weeks, but I will get my mojo back. (Thank you for your patience.)
Like Mother's Day

Two evenings in a row now, all my children have been here. In this house, at the same time, watching videos together. It’s like a wonderful present. They found the Home Videos from the late 80′s, when Sean was three, Lisa was seven. What fun!
So, it’s a homebody weekend. I’m plugging away on some new socks (variegated red Artyarns Supermerino) to free up the needles for the new Cherry Tree Hill that found me yesterday, from Village Yarns.
Hey Mom, I kept meaning to tell you last night – Village Yarn & Fiber moved out of Midtown, to ER right on Commercial St, opposite the piano works. Check it out! They have a really nice selection of sock yarn, gorgeous buttons (worth the trip all by themselves) and I think, every knitting book ever written. Check out their newsletter (PDF) too.
Also finding its way home with me, some Spindrift for Eunny Jang’s Endpaper Mitts. Lisa has a pair, and they are darling. I’ve been hankering after a little something to keep the hands warm, esp. at the office.
Today: Bills vs Miami. We’ll have a taco salad, I think – I’ve got all the makings, plenty of tortilla chips, and all gluten-free. Lisa is having dinner at Johan’s tonight, then back to FL at o’dark-thirty tomorrow morning. The red socks (plain, no pattern, given the stripe-y nature of the yarn) will be perfect gametime knitting.
