I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who emailed me the other day during my fit of pique. I’m feeling much better now and haven’t lost any limbs or anything. So yay!
That’s all!

May31
I think I fainted a little.
THE SUN IS OUT!!!
It hasn’t been OUT in over a month. I mean it. There have been days here and there when it wasn’t raining, sure, but it has been cloudy and grey for over a month now. There was that five minutes this past Saturday when I thought I could see a patch of blue sky, but other than that, nada. So today is awesome!
YAY SUN!
YAY BLUE SKY!
YAY SEVENTEEN DEGREES!

Call and Answer
These are my answers to the Secret Pal 5 questionnaire. If you’re not my secret pal, you may not want to read this, because it will be pretty boring. If you *are* my secret pal, you’re probably wondering what the heck you’re doing here since I don’t mention my knitting often enough. But I DO knit, and occasionally I mention things I’ve made on this ‘blog. Okay, so here we go, after the cut: Read the rest of this entry

And you SMELL LIKE ONE TOO!!!
Today, my dad is 58.
Let’s see what he’s accomplished so far in his life:
May27
the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
And so came Yesterday. Yesterday shall heretofore be known among these parts as the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
I’ve had a few pretty awful days in my life, but none, in recent memory, as bad as yesterday was. Now you’re thinking “Really? What about when your father had the aneurysm? What about when you had to have your dog put to sleep?What about when (insert relative here) died?” and I can say this: Those were the worst things that ever happened in my life, but none of these events made their respective days as bad as yesterday was, as far as I can remember. I grieved, on those days, but I knew that one day I’d be able to be happy again. Yesterday? Nope. No way could I see any light at the end of what seemed to be a long, dark, smelly, never-ending tunnel.
Let’s start at the beginning, with yesterday morning. I woke up, just like any other day. I did all my normal any other day things. Nobody died. There were no disasters in the world for me to be sad about. And yet, there I was, with the invisible-to-everyone-but-me Black Cloud of Despair settled firmly over my head.

warm n fuzzy
Does anyone remember Blanket Statement? If you do, I just wanted to let y’all know that I haven’t forgotten about it. Of course I haven’t posted anything about it in months, but here’s an update:
We managed to get five blankets together. FIVE! That’s a lot of squares, guys (okay, math time… 48 squares times 5 blankets…. errr… carry the twelve… eeeeh). Like, 240 squares (Of course my mom and I contributed a few, but still, I’d say at least 200 were contributed by YOU GUYS)! Yay! WEE!
Sadly I haven’t received any squares since January, but then again I haven’t been much of an updater, as I said, so people probably forgot or lost interest or whatever.
And if you’re wondering what I’m talking about, basically last year I started this little thingie where we could all knit or crochet some 8-inch squares. Once you had mailed yours to me, I’d put them together and make blankets for the homeless/ less fortunate people. I know it’s nearly summer and most of us aren’t really thinking of keeping warm, but I’m sure there are people out there who are. You can email me for my address or further information– and thank you so much~!
I was looking through some photos and found pics of the last three blankies, which I apparently took on a day that the bed was made, so they’re below the cut.

Run, run!
Two very dear friends of mine, Erika and Shaun, are running the Bluenose Marathon today. 10k in this horrible weather (we’re getting something like 50 cm of rain). I can only imagine how cold, wet and exhausted they’ll be by the end of it but I wish them the best and am so very proud of them!
