little buggeroo
one of the cruel jokes i've noticed about being an "adult": now that i can afford to buy whatever cool toys seem to be screaming my name, i can't fit into all of them...an i'd really like to fit into this one:
man-o-man, i always loved the mini-my-size riding toys!!! when i was little i had a little purple car with white trim that was made out of some kind of metal. there's a picture at my parent's house of me in a wicked early 70's paisley print dress with white sandals and i'm riding on the sidewalk. my brother also had a metal riding toy, but his was a mini-airplane. it was a steel grey color with blue and red trim(if i remember correctly). you know, my brother also had a red plastic motorcycle...that was one you didn't have to get inside of, so i liked riding around on it, even though i was like 7 by the time he had it...
speaking of toys, there's a new addition to potterland.
no, no, no, not dumbledeedore's office; IT'S FAWKES!
although this IS supposed to come with the chamber of secrets set, i bought it seperately. actually, i have about 5 or 6 more sets to get, and then it's gonna be all about spare parts! a totally exciting thought for me....
another exciting thought is that i've finally gotten back to knitting sox on the BART. i started these yesterday
i don't know that i'll be able to whip up a pair by monday though. not only cuz i just started yesterday, and my home knitting is the fairly easy fair isle along with a couple other presents i still have to make for some friends, but also cuz these are the first "full length" pair of sox i've attempted for myself. they're also lace. which reminds me that i need to bring some dental floss with me on the train tomorrow. when i went to hear the yarn harlot speak a few months ago, i wound up meeting a couple of women, one of whom is really into knitting lace. she told me that i should thread some dental floss accross the row, every few rows, as a "life line". (when you're knitting lace, there is no ripping back; there is only starting over...and many tears.)
i think i'm getting sick. my throat is BEYOND sore, and i have a low grade fever...what is with this?!?!!? it's not like i'm burning the candle at both ends...i've been eating really well(both healthy and homemade), getting lots of sleep(at least 8 hours a night), and actually getting some exercise(i've started a new program)...maybe it's cuz i ran out of my airborne last week, and didn't replace it....hmmmm thankfully tomorrow's friday....
