Crafty Girl

B & I went camping this weekend with 2 of my co-workers and their families. We had great fun! We camped at a very nice state campground and broke most of their rules…We were loud after 10 PM. We used the pump station for something other than filling up water containers (rinsing the coffee pot). We washed small children in the “Camp Sink” (dishes only). We had too many people staying on one site. We picked green vegetation and many other things. We are bad campers.

We were about a mile from Lake Michigan and hiked through some sand dunes to get to the beach. Fun! We also talked inappropriately around children. We were making fun of the Sales Manager at work and how he left a DVD with about 8 hours of Japanese Gang Bang porn in it when he gave it to our department for some new software to be loaded on it. My coworkers oldest son was still up and he mis-heard what his father said (It was 8 hours of Japanese Gang Banging) and busted out with “I want some Japanese Cake”. We laughed and laughed about it. Loud enough for the neighbors to ask us to quiet down. Japanese Cake was the joke for the weekend.

The first one was OK, but one I’m working on now sucks! Look at how all the color pooled on one side! Yuck. A spiral is finally forming now that I’ve turned the heel, but I’m only finishing these out of some weird sense of obligation.

Who am I obligated to? These socks are for me and if I hate them, I’m not likely to wear them. So why finish? Why not abandon? I have no idea except I won’t move on to a new pair until this pair is done. So I suffer on.

After an eight month hiatus, I feel the need to blog again. Part of what drove me away was the massive comment spam. Despite the fact that I installed a comment blacklister and attempted to close all old entries to comments, I was spending a ridiculous amount of time cleaning up every day.

Hopefully this new version of MT and some other changes will help.
