OK, I have an excuse: I have been unbelievably busy at work, for, yes, months! I finally feel like I'm somewhat caught up so of course I have scheduled a vacation. Yay, Mexico!
Now the computer problems have come home to roost as well, although things are looking better than they did right at the end of the year it is still a challenge to do anything, so pics are going to be a little hard to come by. I can't find the cable from my phone or I'd post from that. Shesh. One thing or another, I swear.
Gary the wonder tinkerer currently has my laptop, which apparently does work, and the laptop's hard drive, which may or may not, and the monitor, which likely does not but if it does I probably will give it to him anyway for helping me out. That would leave me at home with Sissy Princess's computer with Kubuntu operating system and Gary's creaky old CRT monitor, which, of course, snaps off periodically. I'd really like to update my Ipod with new music, but since my external hard drive is malfunctioning I can't update from my music. I could put some new podcasts on, but at work they limit downloads from itunes. I can't really blame them on that though, it is a lot of bandwidth. Kubuntu doesn't support itunes so I can't do it from home either. I'd like to just use winamp to manage my ipod, but I can't seem to get the stuff currently on there deleted either. I'd be willing to wipe and reload the ipod, but that requires a download from itunes...
See what I mean? Now quit complaining about my lack of posting. At least I'm knitting! (I started fair isle mittens with Heather's white and my green Lambs Pride, but was working waay too large so had to frog. Got distracted by finishing - YES, finishing! the Noro tam and have started gloves in the yummy, but slightly scratchy handspun wool.)
Unless you can claim this many computer problems, I expect more posting from you guys!

Yes, at least you're knitting! Now you do remember that I recently bought a new laptop and installed Ubuntu (like Kubuntu but better. JK). And then I dumped coffee over the keyboard, although it was fine in a few days (and the Alt key works - YAY! how else am I supposed to toggle bet. programs at super efficiency?). Oh, and Rob and I recently moved our photos server... so I'm busy too - but OK, not nearly as pathetic without a computer as you.
Look. You're forgiven - just don't forget about us. We need you. =) Hey - bring your stuff tonight and I can take photos of it - upload and such. I'd be happy to do that for you.
Huh. Wait a minute... (*Secret message to SissyP* - is she trying to trick us to do her work and post here and on ravelry FOR her?)
Want some cheese with that?
