Busyness update, and shawl moan

Life continues busy. We're finding more good helpful things for Jamie - which is good, but man, it takes up a lot of my time. Two events for him this week, one next week but I think I'll try to move another one from the next week back to that, because that next week there will be three... etc.

On the frustrating side - I have a problem in the lace shawl, in the new pattern I've gotten to. It looks like I'm going to have to tink back about 4 rows to fix it. That's just over 2400 stitches. Gah. This new lace pattern is more complicated than the old - it may not work anymore for "found time" - knitting in the car, while talking to Karl, while waiting for the kids in Sunday school, etc. It may require dedicated time, which is a lot harder to get these days. Sigh, this is how things become UFOs stuffed into closets. I don't want that to happen.

And I need to get together another project that I *can* use for found time - because I'm happier and more content the more I am creating. Maybe I can get upstairs tonight and cut the squares out from the green fabrics and get them into ziplocks and start carrying them about with the tools and work on patchwork.

One-Sixteenth amuses me regularly.

MUSIC yay

It's good to have friends.

There are three songs I, for some inexplicable-even-to-myself reason, associate together. I Like It Like That, In The Summertime [1], and If You Want To Be Happy[2].

I've been trying to get them. I got the 2nd one. Now I have all three. Thanks, autographedcat.

Anybody have any idea of why I'd mentally group those three together?

Also, selenite has gone out, late though it is, to pick up my preferred breakfast food from the grocery store - I've been out for DAYS, and there wasn't any in the store Saturday.

My Queen-of-the-Universe meter has been significantly raised this evening.



[1] In the Summertime is a song that I find to be just absolutely morally repugnant but can't stop bopping to anyway, darn it.
[2] I've wanted that one for ages. Even if I can't much cook.
