Hello hello hello!

I'm not giving up the blog, or the ghost, or what have you. Thank you thank you Carla, Peggy, and Beth for sending me emails to ascertain whether I had shuffled off the mortal coil and knit something shroud-like from it. I'm here, and mostly alive, but after this period away I realized that I really really needed some time away from the blog. I know I really wasn't posting a great deal anyway, but a break was in order.

Since I last wrote, I have completed a pair of socks, a sweater, a blanket, a pillow, and *gasp!* a bunch of dishcloths. I have also gone back to work, a task that involves very long and arduous 10-hour days (the primary reason for not blogging--simply too tired!). I also completed the Fall semester of school, and have been trying to rest before the Spring semester. Finally, I decided to get sick, which I have been for the past three weeks (but going to work anyway--it hasn't been as restful as I would like!). Today, however, I couldn't move a muscle when I woke up, not one, and so had to concede the victory to whatever illness I have and stay in bed. I have just woken up but I will be heading back to bed as soon as I hit "Post" on this.

I am also trying to get the new blog up and going so that I can close this one. However, although the new blog is going to be the barest of blogs, it still takes time I don't have or don't want to give at the moment. But fear not! School starts soon, and blogging will probably be my activity of choice for avoiding it.

I may be gone for another two or three weeks (but again, I may not...I'm a flighty creature). Here is something to amuse you for that time. It's from A Field Guide to Goblins: The Goblin Companion by Brian Froud and Terry Jones:



Sounds like some knitting groups I've been to.

And back to the sickbed with me.

Here it is, my ducks. Great googlymoogly, I was sick after this one. This is probably the last one I'll ever do, because I promised God I wouldn't drink ever again. I had no choice, really. It was that or die heaving into the sink.

This review turned out a bit long. It's about 82 minutes of drunken rambling, and there seemed to be a great deal of microphone-bumping activity, although I don't remember that happening at the time. Ah well. I hope you have a frosty adult beverage and the issue in front of you while you listen. Enjoy! And please let me know if there is a problem with the file. It's a bit large, so dial-up folks may need to wait awhile. Also, you may need to turn up your volume (it seems to play a bit too quietly.)
