Marked As Read

I suck and I know it. 

It's been crazy here.  Is still crazy here, and will be crazy here for a while longer.

How much of a week could it have been? 

• Slightly broken wheel, now fixed
• Broken bobbin, fixed
• "Interesting" encounter with someone who was trying to be funny.  o.O
• Panic attack inducing last night emails
• Followed around the grocery by slightly creepy old dude
• Beloved friend dealing with horrible medical stuff.  She'll be fine, but wow...
• Blood moon
• Full moon
• Taxes
• Dudes casing the neighbourhood.  (Rash of break-ins in the area lately)
• Not enough Tums on the planet
• Not anywhere near enough sleep

Hai.

There's lots of good stuff, too.  However, good stuff distracts me more than crappy stuff does.  Does that make sense?  Oh!  And I typed up 2 different versions of that sock pattern.  I still want to call it Give Me $6 but I know some folks are so concrete that they would actually try to give me six bucks.  *L*

Speaking of good stuff...

Is Irohan Bkack wgat in supposed to watch?

Text of a text I got the other night.

I read it.  Lowered one eyebrow and read it again.  Then I raised the other eyebrow and read it again again.  Then I got it.  Thank goodness a certain someone I love used to be a typo queen before auto-correct became a thing.

Yes!  We are watching Orphan Black.  We are very excited about the new season, which starts Sautrday.  Yes, I really am that good.

Gosford Park has become my happy place.  I am not looking at that one too closely.

Did you know I knit socks?  (Someone asked what I was knitting.  Blame her...)

 

Exciting, right?

Happy Friday, everyone!

Gimme $6 would be perfect! At least I didn't ask you to eat that pizza I had last night. :D

So glad it's Friday and that your wheel is fixed and that you're eating black berries and that overall there is happy in your life.

Apparently Typepad is borked. Your photos won't show up unless I open them in a separate tab. Chris (StumblingOverChaos.com) emailed me because she couldn't comment on my blog. But now TP is working partially -- still no photos in your post (have to right-click and open in new tab) but at least I can comment.

Anyway. Blackberries! One of nature's ambrosia fruits, imho. So hard to get them when fully ripe here because the birds are always two steps ahead of me. Is that Kroy self-striping yarn? I made a pair of socks from the same stuff and adore them. MIght make another identical pair.

Broken typepad, fixed.

I am beating myself around the face and neck because the Orphan Black disk I got from Netflix is disk 2, not disk 1. Oy.

Happy dance for the fixed wheel and bobbin.

I am so glad that you posted what you did (thought/felt) so that I could have a big sigh - and know that i wasn't just me - and therefore - (big leap here) - probably not MY FAULT! Huge gianorous sigh of relief. And...this too shall pass - just like the blood red moon. Thank you, Lovely Lady. Best wishes for a lovely weekend and week following. Or, something better.

Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Irohan Bkack! Wasn't even wine induced! That's why you sent me to short row hell! ;-) xo

Maybe it should be "Give me $6, Hee! Hee!" (or your favorite words to represent a cackle). You could always give any money received to a favorite charity.

Busy times...glad the wheel and bobbin are mended.
Yummy looking blackberries in such a pretty bowl.
You knit SOCKS???? :p Love the stripey yarn!
xoxo

Love the socks. Otherwise, I am in my normal place......totally confused. Hugs, Dumplin.

You need to come sit and knit with me. Gosford Park is one of my favorite movies, and Dan is a total Clone Club member (Tumblr is a hotbed of OB stuff)

xoxoxo

I just succumbed and watched Ep. 1 of Season 2. Now I have to go find the first season.

Socks are good and stripey socks are wonderful.
