Hodge and Podge.

Hey! I went to the wine tasting tonight and got to see friends I'd not seen in weeks! YAY!

I heart my friends.

Also, I heart my niece Zoe P! She is so wee, and already so expressive and packed with personality! I was so so happy to visit with her (though she mostly slept through my visit-- I'll forgive the faux-pas because he'd just new to the world and doesn't yet fully grasp our customs.), and super happy to see my friends again!

As a result though, I am ridiculously contented, and it is making writing the scene I want to post next very difficult. I find I need a lil bit o'angst to write productively. Lol. I thought sangria might substitute for angst, but all it is doing is making me sleepy.

I'm super impatient and find I'm writing alot of expletives, even for me, and so I think I'mma hit the hay, have pleasant, friendly, happy dreams and maybe take another crack at this scene again tomorrow.

If not, tough shit. Maybe I'll just forget it and move on to the next scene (which is, of course loaded and ready to go!), and there will forever be a hole there in the middle of fucking dinner. I kinda did that with Poker night, come to think of it.

Anywhoooooo. All i want to think about right now is friends and babies and life and the future and how happy and blessed I feel tonight.

Also, for those of you who have been following along, today at summer cap i learned to do the 'floss' as Andrea calls it, or just plain 'string' as my kids call it. I am learning the 'candy stripe' stitch and it is coming along beautifully!

Meanwhile Mr. Waite is becoming very skilled at gimp-- the kids are claiming that he is, in fact, "Beast at gimp", which means especially good at it.

He made me a halloweeny keychain. There aren't a whole ton of desirable colors left right now. Forrest Green and Flesh were the two colors in abundance around camp today and so I decided it was time to take up string, where there are tons of rainbow awseometastic colors to choose from! 

I'll keep ya posted!
