Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Sh*t, what a ride!"

Has the stash reached SABLE???
Here is some of the gang on a really cold morning...From L to R we have Killer Shrew, Fromage, Boris and Dust Bunny... Remember that cute little kitten from January 9th??? That is him, all growed up...
Have you ever had one of those days where you were too freaking tired to go to sleep. Today is mine... Been working like a fiend on a problem we detected at work. Last night, I got about 3 hours of sleep total (2 hours the first shot, got called about an issue, solved it, went back to bed then got another hour...) Back to work at 5:30 am for the first meeting of the day, then to the "Explaination to the folks who are really high on the totem pole" meeting, then an hour to herd cats for the problem meeting, then 2 hours in that meeting, an hour to prepare for the next meeting (this doubled as lunch), then the problem detection meeting, then the "this is what is going on this weekend" meeting... All this after being told by my boss's boss to leave early today... (Hmmm, now THAT didn't happen...) Came home to take a nap and I couldn't get to sleep... GRRRR... I will be hitting the hay early tonight... After I head out with my girlfriend, Shaelyn, for a little pre "girl's shopping day out"...
As I was tossing and turning, I decided I needed to organize my stash so I had a better idea of what I had... First, I found I need to get another storage tub for the yarn... So, I have one tub with sweater yarn and the other tub for sock yarn... Has the stash reached SABLE yet? (SABLE = Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy) Not even close... If I went on a yarn diet, I could knit through both tubs within 18 months... That is good... But man, I have sock yarn that I totally forgot about... One of the great things about having ADD: You find yarn you didn't even know you had :-) This concept also applies to money, socks, husbands, etc... Yes, we digress because we are sleep deprived!
So, what has been going on this week? Tuesday, went over to the Flying Star Cafe with my SnB gals. We were all knitting on our Jaywalkers... Well, except Beth, she finished her pair :-) She did 2 socks on 2 circular needles... That will be the next project when I finish my second Jaywalker and Hubby's scarf... Everyone's socks looked great!!!!!
Wednesday, I stopped by Village Wools to pick up one of the circular needle holders that Scout told us about in her blog... This bag is GREAT! I now have all of my circs in one place! Yippee!!! Looked at the yarn but nothing caught my eye...
Well, time to hit the road and go out drinking... Since I have the luck of holding the weekend on-call pager, I am drinking Pepsi... Watch out, Officers, I am going to be a menace on the road tonight... LOL!!!
