I JUST EMPTIED MY HOTMAIL INBOX!!! I’ve had this email address since late 2007 or so, and I had emails from back then. I still have about 15 emails in there, but they are things that require somewhat immediate attention, so they will be deleted after that.

I got rid of 4 pounds of garbage. Some of it was stuff from the fridge, the rest was stuff I’ve had sitting around for a while. I bagged up a lot of my yarn, and someone wants a bunch of it. She will be getting in in a couple weeks when she comes back from vacation.

I went to a show at phog. Some of my best friends are heading out on a mini-tour, and their first show was in Windsor. I met two awesome bands from Montreal and New Market. I got their CDs and I still need to add them to my library.

I went back to phog the next day for a Stitch n Bitch night. Met some really cool people, and made plans to yarn it up with a couple people in the near future.

I took a pound of stuff to Made In Windsor. It was probably more, but some of it will be coming back to me, so I’m only going to count one pound. While I was there, I tried some red wine that was made by one of the other consignors (the store was closed while this was going on). It was alright for the first bit, but towards the ned of the glass, I wasn’t so much a fan.

I’ve been knitting quite a bit, but haven’t finished anything in a little while. That’s okay, though, because I will be doing a few orders very soon.

It’s Tuesday and I got a bit of cleaning done. My baseboards are clean, the laundry is washed and dried, and some still needs to be folded. I started sorting my yarn (I have a vinyl “bed-in-a-bag” thing that is starting to be filled with yarn bombing yarn, I’m going to make another one with novelty yarn). I want to get the basics of the sorting done soon so I can start getting rid of some of it.

I knit an iPhone case for someone that ordered it through the FaceBook page. I’ll be giving it to her next week some time.

In between all of this, I watched Fargo. I didn’t enjoy it, at all, really.

I forgot to include the items I purchased at the thrift shops last week. I am counting the shirt, buttons and yarn as individual purchases.

Watched Up. It was adorable. We also went to see Salt because the power was out and it was getting hot in the house. Still working on the scarf. I’ll have it done very soon.

I almost died yesterday because of a bike ride and sun burn combo. I did get a nice walk in before that though.

Rick and I went to some second hand stores and I got a bunch of buttons to make stuff out of, and some yarn. $7 for 11 skeins of Patons Beehive yarn. Pretty happy with the loot, I must say.

We had bento from Koi Sushi & Japanese Cuisine. It was by far one of the best lunches I’ve had in a while.

We also went to Colasantis. He got a citronella plant, and I was unimpressed with the way that place has developed.

I finished knitting the brown scarf I started the other day. I then started a new scarf with some of the new yarn. I’ve been knitting it in the dark, so I’m not sure how well it’s going.

We watched Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. It was cute. Nothing great, but I did enjoy it.

Finished knitting a scarf this morning. Started on another one right away. Rick and I went to Michael’s and I didn’t buy any yarn.

I am calling my walking goal COMPLETE!!! I am going to continue to walk at least twice a week, more if I have the time/the weather cooperates.

I started a scarf the other day, and I’m still working on it. It should be finished very soon.

I am up to 20 posts on the knitting blog. I haven’t been keeping track of this goal very well.

July 15/16/17 (days 98-100)

Okay, so I fucked up on my day count, and today, the 17th is day 100 of the project!!!!
I have 3 goals completed, and a few that can be done quite quickly. The only thing stopping me is money. I think the Etsy shop will help with some of this.

I didn’t really get half hour “walks” in, but I did help my dad build a deck, which involved walking back and forth from the garage to the back of the house. Usually carrying some for, of lumber or tool or cold water. I’m going to count this, because it was crazy hot out and I didn’t want to go outside unless it was necessary.

I knit a couple inches of a phone case while I was at my parents. I am going to try to make a lot of those to sell in my Etsy shop. I also started a teal scarf after trying to make a cowl out of the same yarn and that wasn’t cooperating.

I just donated 100 grains of rice.

I went out for a walk with my friend Sean, possibly one of the last because he got a job teaching in Korea. We walked all over the place, and talked about all kinds of things. I’m going to miss these walks.

During that, I put up eight yarn bombs. I have a few more that can be put up in the next couple days for Fringe Fest.

I came home from that, and Rick and Winston were here to surprise me.

Walked to and from Made In Windsor today. Such a nice walk, and a really good day at work. I didn’t get much knitting done, but that’s ok. I did, however, finish the baby bib this morning. I just need to sew in the ends and add a button.

Nothing else to update about. I work every day this week, so I don’t know what else I’m going to be able to get done.

July 12, 2010

Just finished knitting another yarn bomb while watching Pulp Fiction. I wasn’t too sure of the movie at first, but I guess I liked it in the end.

I had lunch at Killroy’s today for my mom’s birthday. Fish and chips again. It was a bit of a dive, but my mom was surprised, which was a good thing.
