    to dance again?!
    if the able bodied dancers don't want me the disabled do.  i just got asked to perform at my local vsa arts festival cause they loved the performance sabrina and i did several years ago. 

    pros:  i'd be dancing again
               it wouldn't be harshly judged
               solo

    cons: i've gained alot of weight and may not have the best in costume choices
               i'm out of practice
               solo

    whatever i decide they asked me to be on the committee for next years festival!  i'm so excited ; ]

    men in kilts!
    today was the scottish festival!!!!  we saw the caber toss, the hammer throw and some of putting the stone.  i managed to see a bunch of dancing which was very cute.  and we saw the bands.  one played a queen song--yes on the bagpipes and sleeping maggie.  i ended up getting sunburned and tired so we left early but it was still a fullfilling day.  

    we also ate elephant ears and i had a meat pie.  i went shopping and bought a dress, a clan pin and a new wedding ring, just a simple claddagh with a lab-grown opal in it.

    its almost official...
    so i got the email saying my painting would be gracing the cover of the spring issue of msfocus magazine!  course nothing is official till its in your hands, right?  i don't know if they'll use the interview i did with carolina nericcio or not but heres to hoping.

    i had tysabri today.  my brain is doing good--no shrinkage or active lesions yeah!

    jack and i may make this thing we got OFFIC-ial.  business is bad so mum and dad might have to lose health insurance.  we still have to figure things out.

    judge judy ignorant human
    judge judy just told a woman with multiple sclerosis "you look fine to me" in a very rude and sarcastic manner.  

    sure she looks fine, but is she really?


    i hate people who pre-judge you.  of course many of us look fine!  but sometimes its an illusion.

    sweeny todd

    so sweeny todd.  i had to see it.  i've seen the play (years ago) and needed to see the movie.  my favorite part--mrs. lovats fantasy seen.  oh, and seen in the market.  the costuming was worth it but if you quease at the site of blood... maybe not for you.

    the rising cost of oil cutting into christmas
    this probably doesn't mean so much to those who pay a gas bill but jack and i will just be scraping by this winter.  this is making christmas a very difficult holiday for us.  i just can't get every one to accept that yet.  like my nephews. : /  the older one is negotiating for a very expensive present.

    i have tysabri tomorrow morning.  #14. that means 2 long trips for jack.  i'm doing well except for the depression.  i know its a side effect but still.

    socks
    new sock class!  we're doing sideways socks.  cast on with waste yarn which i haven't done before.   i'm using a beautiful colourway from trekking.  next week is sock class and sock club.  sock knitting from 1-6pm.  thats alot of sock knitting.  

    figured out my swift was sucking and now its good.  i shall wind yarn again soon.  i'm working on arm warmers and its not doing to bad.  need to figure out a good pattern for inbetween the ribbing but i'll check out my vogue book.

    DPNs

    i have conquered my fear of dpns.  i don't like them but i can use them.  i'm making myself a pair of arm warmers for my tysabri days cause my arm always freeeeezes us!  so we'll see.

    i also conquered my fear of my ball winder and swift.  too bad the swift sucks.

    in the office
    so i came over to use the computer since mine is here in need of repair and now i'm watching the office.  its nice to work on a relatively nice day and as long as i don't look at the lights i'll be alright.  i did a bank run yesterday--definitely a more comfortable job if i can stay awake while driving.

    i just had a customer and realized i don't remember most of our code any more.  LOF is easy enough but getting to the customer and car not so much.

    somehow worksafe never meant much to me before.

    potter party---no spoilers
    yes, i had my book read by 7:15 am including cat breaks.  lets leave it that i'm satisfied with the series as a whole and that doesn't happen often.  we went early for the partying and i got dressed up--why not?  not so many costumes as i've seen before but there was a pretty convincing professor trelawney -wig.  we got a bite to eat next door to the store and killed some time.  i really wasn't on the same sugar high as the kids.  we also got glow sticks and a poster.

    is bushs colonoscopy really newsworthy?  so he won't be in power for 2 days max.  but its on my news like its really important.

    this is my late joe modeling a pose i hope my cheddar takes up soon.

    last day of sock 1 class
    so instead of picking up the gusset like i was hoping i had to frog the heel and go back and double the size of heel flap.  rule of heel flap---if it folds over into a triangle its probably the right size.   my teacher was late cause she forgot there was class today so i walked in and freaked out a little as jack drove away.  so we stayed a little later and it was enjoyable despite all the frogging.

    hands
    well, summer is definitely in. i seem to be losing my hands again. not totally, but enough that it is going to be a crappy summer. this time the left seems to be hit the hardest.
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    i finished my calorimetry (headband from knitty) last night. it took me too long to work on. plus--14" straights, splity-splity one size too big yarn, and socks. so i'm back on the socks and size 3 circs are much easier to be working with than size 8 straights. pictures to come later.
