When stressed, spend money

seeing as how i am very stressed, and the last time i was this stressed i got very sick, i am trying to keep it happy and light.

So I spent MORE money today. Shhh don't tell my husband! I read the Sweet Georgia blog and actually bought some of her yarn. I thought stripped socks sounded fun, because I don't like mottled socks!! So i got the second version of it. It's fairly close to pixie colors (speaking of that, I need to re-design this blog sense i updated to the new MT and lost my template).

Sweet Georgia's Handpainted Sock Yarn RIVER (Stripping)

100% Merino Wool is handpainted in vibrant colours with WashFast Acid Dyes. Approximately 400 yards of fingering/sport weight yarn. Recommended needle size is 1-3 US to give 7-8 sts/in. Handwash separately. This one skein will make a pair of women's socks.


So I will be at work till 9 or 10 tonight. 12 hour days RULE!! For a living I do Information Architecture and Human Centered Design, so today we are testing out applications on cell phones, with randomly selected real life users. It's really neat/fun stuff to do, but the hours this time are fairly laborouse (is that a word?). I also have to fly to Seatle in another week or so (I can't even remember).

I spilt a gigantic glass of sweat tea in our lab, near some very expensive equipment. Then I knocked my lip really hard with the big headphones when i took them off.

I am just trying to laugh and keep it fun as I can manage.

knitting? I finished the glove last night! I'm still not happy with it, so I am going to continue to change the pattern and make it my own until I am happy. It was a lot better though, just still had some holes on the inside of the gusett.
