another day another ... what?

so, its been a few days, and since I have turned over a new leaf and all, at the moment...
um, not much has been happening... which is lame.
I went to knitting on Tuesday, it was cool, Cole showed up, which was a miracle, but Lisa did not, (she forgot it was Tuesday), I started work on my jaywalker socks but I can't post a photo because I screwed something up on my computer. (I just realized it.) I had changed its program that opens when I plug in my phone to get my pictures, because of the video fandango, and well, picassa can't fetch my photos, and makes the annoying donk noise. I will figure it out later.

anyway, started the socks, I'm halfway through the first heel flap, and I started a hat, a sort of classy hat, made less classy by the thick thin multi colored yarn, but its probably a gift, unless I really hate it. I got my new very expensive knitting needles in the mail, finally.... but, now I need two more sets, size 3 and size 5, the basic sizes for socks. sigh.

um, the diet, well, this week is supposed to be the light week, and I find the craving for chicken to be very strong, but I think it will be better next week, when there is more protein. I feel a little better, I only get heartburn if I eat something very citrus-y or I have eaten off the diet, but it goes away fairly quickly rather than being with me all day, and that is great.

so, in a week and a half I'm going camping with the Women of Local Fifteen, I'm excited and nervous, there will be talking about the stuff, the showing of the scar, I could not, but it gives it power to do that, and I'm desensitizing myself.

But here is a simple recipe for Tori
1 corn on the cobb
1 heirloom tomato
1avocado
1 green onion
1 lemon

remove corn from the cobb, cut up tomato, avocado and green onion, mix together. add the juice of one lemon, and a pinch of salt, mix again. serves one if this is all you have, or two as a side.

Socks and cats

Well here is the new sock with the Noro, its zipping along, I have a resolution to make a pair of socks a month.
I think the only person getting hand knit stuff this year besides myself will be Sabine's unborn baby, and maybe Megan's daughter Anne.
I'll rethink it when it comes to be near christmas... I always do.

Next I have some cat photos, because my cats are the cutest!!! and I am silly, and my life is very small... I know you are thinking it. This is Alice, she taught me, you clean the ones you love, if they sit still that is...

Lovely Demon Seed Bovine... maybe she is such an angry cat because we don't use her full name, the Devine Miss Bovine... She feels slighted by attention paid to anyone other than herself.

Little Trixie, the poor little underdog... er... undercat? I got Trixie and Alice at the same time, but they were probably not from the same litter, I think that Alice was a tad bit older, and she ended up alpha cat - And Alice is a passive agressive alpha cat, - Trixie finds a nice napping spot, Alice thinks it might be good, so, she just sleeps on top of Trixie, until Trixie leaves.
When we got Bovine, Alice wanted to clean it, and Trixie played with it, Bovine likes to clean herself (barely), But as Bovine grew older, she tried to copy Alice and boss Trixie around, and Trixie stood up for herself, the play got mean spirited. Now, Trixie tries hard to pretend she lives in a world without Bovine, and Bovine hisses and growls everytime she sees Trixie.
When Bovine went missing for 5 days and 4 nights (unauthorized apartment sitting), the only one happy was Trixie, she was thrilled. Poor thing.
Here Trixie is, sleeping in my arms like a baby, I don't make them do it, in fact its very hard to knit this way
