another Friday approaches

May is passing far to quickly... It's already the 21st and I haven't posted since the 11th! Ok, so my work and social life have both been pretty busy lately. But I haven't even been sending out many tweets and that's just silly. Think about it, I haven't had time to type 140 characters or less? A few times a day? Ridiculous I know, especially since I'm sure all my followers are mourning the loss of my witty comments of life, the universe and everything. My twitter even updates my facebook for me, so I don't have to do both... so the ultimate in social laziness has occured!

Anyway, I really just wanted to post a quick hello and tell my blog buddies and other various media followers that I haven't forgotten you and nothing of note has happened to me other than being so busy I became slightly anti-social. Until the next post, tweet or update!

our little helper

Recently I have started putting Molly up on the desk when I get home from work becuase she generally hovers around my chair and meows at me as I am going through my usual "I just got home from work" ritual. Within the past week or so, I thought, " why not have her up here on the desk where I can pet her more easily?" I can check my email, look for new patterns, log a little Wow time.... how can this be bad?

Well, today she apparently decided that I needed help playing WoW and jumped right up on my chair and the desk while I was over talking with Brian on a mini gaming break. It was so weird... Strange cat, but we love her soI guess it works out ok in the end ;-D

yarn... what yarn?

So, anyone else think I bought too much yarn? Nah......! I've been working on the bear, but there isn't enough difference in what I've done to really post about it. So I focused on all my cool yarn instead. I just keep on buy it as a see (and feel) stuff I like.

So Tara let me know about this really cool site called Ravelry.com which is a knitter's dream. Once you get approved (which can take several days) you have access to hundreds of free patterns, a project tracker, and a place to catalogue your yarn stash (complete with your own uploaded pictures of each yarn). They also have a bookshelf where you can list your related books and seem to have a pretty extensive online community forum and a messaging system. It's kind of like Facebook for knitters. So, if you like that stuff, join in. My username is jjphotoftw. if you want to friend me.

I also discovered that Facebook now has an application called Networked Blogs where you can link your blog into Facebook and have followers. Neat huh? So if you're on Facebook, add the app and start following my blog. I heart you Facebook!
