Oops! I almost forgot a title

Wow! So not only is no one reading my blog (phew!) but that means no one is commenting on my thoughts regarding the self-absorption that blogging (and other web related publishing outlets, including Friendster, MySpace, and personal web sites) encourages . Now I am sad. I wanted to have a discussion with someone who is "into" these kinds of projects. I am curious. I'd like to know why some thinks it is a good idea to publish some of their most personal thoughts on a mechanism meant to display these thoughts to the entire world. Isn't that kind of egotistical? I truly am curious.

I took a few days off from my knitting project and shockingly enough, I could still purl when I returned. Sweet!

Yesterday I bought a box of wine from Target. I had totally forgotten that Target was going to start selling their own brand of boxed wine. So of course I had to buy a box. I chose the Pinot Grigio over the California Red because it is almost summertime I do enjoy a nice cold glass of fruity white wine when it the sun stays out until 9 o'clock. Although I must say that nothing will beat the relaxation that comes from drinking a glass of Vino Verde, a crisp bubbly fruity white wine that I can only find at Trader Joe's.

So I think my plan for the summer is be the Drinking Knitter. I'm going to sit outside in my garden with a bottle (or box) of wine and knit. Now my garden, that is another project that initally sounded like a good idea, I had fun buying the seeds, the bulbs, and the pre-started plants, and now I just can't seem to find the time to actually plant anything. Of course, for now, I am going to blame the crappy, cold, spring weather of where I live. Grrrrrrrrrrr

The rain has made the dying flowers look sad

Margarita Friday has finally arrived. Unfortunately, there will be no margaritas for me this weekend, but that is another story with which I shall not bore my dear nonexistant readers. How do bloggers keep up this process? I find my life to be so boring and have no idea why anyone would want to read my musings or thoughts or what I do during the day. I mean how lame would it be to have a life so boring that you think that what I think is interesting and fascinating (don't mean to offend). If anyone out there is blog world is actually reading this crappy new blog, please comment to me on why you blog or why you read other people's blog. The whole process seems completely narcissistic to me.

P.S. I purled a row. That's right 1 (one) row last night. And that was the first row in a few days. This scarf had better be awesome when I am done with it. Maybe I'll try to the knit the shit out of this weekend.

Knit none, Purl some

So last night, in an attempt to remember how to do purl stitches, I did a few rows. After a while, I got bored and put down the needles. That made my cat happy. Betsy, that's my cat, doesn't like when I am not giving her my full attention. At least she doesn't attack the yarn. That would suck. Yarn is not cheap, or at least the yarn I like is not cheap.

Are We Having Fun Yet?

Ok, so now that I have figured out how to update my profile and such, we can start having some fun. As I stated in the description of this blog, our purpose is to encourage craft slackers to not feel bad about leaving their projects by the wayside. Sometimes crafts are boring. Sometimes a tv show is much more entertaining.

My particular craft of choice at the moment is knitting. Sometimes you just don't want to finish that scarf, do you? Maybe you no longer like the color. Maybe you forgot how to purl. Maybe it was just more fun to go shopping for the yarn than to actually make anything. Don't let craft people intimidate you. Some of us just aren't that into it.

So lets put down our bamboo needles and unite in our craft-y slackerdom. I think it is time for a glass of wine to celebrate this new freedom.

P.S. Just a warning, to anyone who bothers to read this blog, I may get bored with this project as well and move on.

Test, Take 2

Again, no one needs to read this post since I am still playing around w/ the software.
