Otherwise Occupied

I've been busy cleaning, knitting and reading. Life's been pretty quiet and I've been tired.

Yesterday was especially trying--but it got loads better when Jamey came home bearing 2 dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Then I followed someone's advice and downloaded the Firefox browser from Mozilla. Wow! The difference is amazing and immediate. I was tearing my hair out waiting for web sites to load...given that I spend A LOT of time on line--I was quickly headed toward baldness. I was beginning to feel like I was on dial-up again. Shudder. I haven't tried out all the Firefox features yet, but I love the speed and the tabs. Note: Firefox has a spell check built right in--and as I mis-type, it underlines it--fantastic.

L. lent me The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold to read. I was extremely naughty and read the book in on sitting--I finished it at around 3 pm yesterday and starting it at 9ish. It's a very interesting read. A different sort of story. I also joined a blog (yeah like I need a another--but ya know blogs are addicting), but it's a Harry Potter AND knitting blog.

I am slowly getting better at this cleaning thing. Not where I want to be--but my house is looking better. Only problem with having a clean house--the kids take the clear spaces and march in them. The marching is driving me nuts.

On the knitting front, my socks are a centimeter from the heel shaping--I am so excited. I can't wait to wear these babies. All this cleaning business my knitting is being neglected, sort of. I need to start some new projects, but by the end of the day I am so exhausted I have no energy to design.
