Oh fucking hell. I just wrote a MASSIVE update and then accidentally closed the window without posting it.
I sort of want to cry now.

Okay, I've recovered somewhat. Last weekend while visiting with my family in Portland I spent some time in the Japanese Gardens. My mother took a slew of horrible pictures of me and, knowing well her tendency to take pictures of me at the worst possible times, I posed appropriately.
Simultaneous nose-picking and flipping of the bird! YES!
Oh, and sitting next to me is my mother's boyfriend, Chris. He was to be found consulting a map every 10 minutes on Friday. Fortunately he roped his cousin (a Portland resident) into being our guide on Saturday and Sunday and was more than a little relieved to not look like such a flaming tourist.

Meanwhile, the shinier black yarn (as well as a single skein of white in the same brand) are becoming one of these:
Even though my sister bought a copy of Loop-D-Loop (the most awesome knitting pattern book I've ever seen) in Portland and promised to scan patterns and share them with me, I couldn't help myself. I bought a copy of it off of ebay yesterday.
Now I have even more things to buy yarn for.

Thats why I always go back every so often and copy and paste the same info in a new journal window.
Just in case.
