Kat with a K: Annoyed Wednesday Catch-Up Randoms

March 07, 2007

Annoyed Wednesday Catch-Up Randoms

1. We're testing a new application at work, and let me tell you, this is up there on the list of least fun things I have ever done. The application itself, the process, some of the people I'm working with... I just want to scream.

2. Okay. Other than that, things are pretty good. I'm glad February is over. I don't know what was going on, exactly, but I just couldn't seem to find the time/emotional resources to post. Sorry. I think I'm back now.

3. There hasn't been much knitting going on recently - partially because I just haven't felt like it, and partially because Dewey is not terribly compatible with knitting at the moment, as his two modes are "attack anything that moves (or doesn't)" and "cuddle with Mommy."

4. Speaking of which, Dewey is doing very well. I have been taking pictures, albeit not posting them, so you'll get some soon, I promise.

5. I have been reading a fair amount. Must catch up on those book reviews...

6. Also? Totally obsessed with Buffy. I'm on Buffy season four/Angel season one. (Yes, alternating episode by episode. I'm that obsessed.) How did I not watch this until now??

7. I'm glad everyone's doing so well on the UFO Challenge. I'll try to catch up on the administrative stuff soon. I'll let you know. Thanks for your patience.

More soon, I promise...

I can SO relate to your #1. Argh!!! Chaos went through the incompatible with knitting stage, but eventually it passed. May hasn't been anywhere near as badly behaved about knitting as he was.

I’m in the process of doing some massive ring maintenance for the FiberArts Bloggers ring and I am contacting you because there’s a problem with your code. The code you have up is actually alright, except that the ring’s original home page (which your code links to) on the urbanspinner site is long gone. The new home page is:
http://unioncenterknits.typepad.com/fiber_arts_bloggers/
You’re welcome to either switch out just that one part of the code, or ask me for the basic default ring code instead.
Please feel free to contact me with any related questions/concerns. Once you have your code fixed up, if you want to send me a note I’d appreciate it, so I can check it out. Thanks!

Sadly, those are still my cat's two favorite moods. I have to sneak around to get any knitting done. Hey kitty, what's that? *grabs knitting and hides in the closet*

Good luck at work, that's never fun.

Aw, that sounds so cute with Dewey.

Discovering Buffy/Angel now means you get to power through the whole thing and not anguish over will-they-or-won't-they cancel the show/get together/etc.

Love Buffy! And Spike, ooh and Angel.

My 5-yo cats seem to be [still] in that stage. I have found that I can avoid many hassles by covering only my lower legs with an afghan. Since my cats are afghan trained ("Oh, look, there's an afghan! Let's lie on it!"), this persuades them to snuggle up a foot or two away from my knitting. And that works unless I wave the working yarn too obviously in their sight -- then all rules are off.

bleh, I'm sorry about testing the new app. BAH. Software sucks.

Well - just finished one of my oldest and most complicated UFOs! Phew. Now onto ones that are just in the UFO pile because they are boring.... this sweater I just finished was insanly complicated!!

And let me just say, at least cats don't consume yarn. My two year of boxer STILL eats my yarn. Bad. Dog.
