If I could bundle...

All the time I spend waiting for my damn computer to do things. It's ridiculous. I joke that if I could store it up every day- the time i sit here, watching things load or pinwheels spin... I'd have at least 3 hours to do what I wanted to everyday. That's a whopping 2,000 calorie workout... or an entire drive back to Dutchess county... or a damn good sunbathing session...

Anyway, today was no different than any other in that sense.

I did start a new fun project. I was doodling yesterday and wound up liking it so much i wanted to turn it into something to put up in my apartment. It's well on it's way to being finished... but here's a sneak peek.

Next knitting project?

It's that time of year that I start to think about knitting. I go down to michaels, buy a crapload of cool yarns, a few new needles, maybe a book or two... $100 later i'm sitting in my living room with a ton of ideas. Once I start the creation journey... I never finish. Perhaps this year instead of making a one armed sweater or a 1/4 of a blanket... Maybe I try a project like this stabbed bunny? Or this unicorn?

I think that might be getting in a bit over my head. For now, I think I'll start a project that's finished, without really having the whole completion process... like fingerless gloves. Finished, but missing something. That's more my style.

Is there a better way to celebrate the end of summer?

No. I don't think so.
Dave and I had a fun filled weekend. We headed to Old Orchard beach on Saturday to get in a quick camping trip... and one last beach day before things go sour and the cold moves in. Dave was in charge of the campfire... it was the fire of all fires... massive, 5 foot flames. All the other men stared with envy.

The water was warm enough to jump around in... so we did. We also stared in amazement at the hairy women sunbathing on the beach. Who knew you could grow that much hair on your hamstrings... and other places.... and be fine flaunting it on the beach.

Then it was off to the Hopkinton Fair.... with the main event being the DEMOLITION DERBY!!!!!! OMFG. this was absolutely crazy. I had so much fun I was jumping up and down in my seat. Next year, I'd like to lay the smack down in my own trashbucket... how much fun would that be? toooooo much.
