boring.

i am listening to menomena and i'm pretty sure i like them. at first this guy's voice was driving me nuts. but the longer i leave the album playing (you can stream the whole thing on their website) the more i like them. they kinda of sound deathcab for cutie-ish but not. perhaps i say that because the reason i learned to love deathcab was because drew used to play it in the office at work and it sort of worked it's way into my brain. i didn't love them at first either. ok that was a boring post about music.

um. grrr! i washed my coat last night at emily and david's and the butter did not come out! i'm going to have to try something else. hmmm now i'm posting about laundry/stain removal. this post was doomed from the start.

our living room is back together again! he finished the ceiling and painted it yesterday and all of the furniture/decorations are back up. well except the pictures...i should work on that today. i was fine last night when i got home around 9:30 but i've gone rapidly downhill since then. i think it's the paint fumes. i'm insisting that i'm having a reaction to the fumes. i don't want to believe that i've acquired a cold. although hot tea/allergy pills/vitamin C/and some airborne has alleviated most of my symptoms.

lessons learned today: don't post if you have nothing to say. heh.

i know! i'll redeem this post by adding pictures of things i've crocheted in the past week. yea that probably won't help. oh well.

i started this blanket last wednesday and finished it saturday. it is for Samuel Clay who was born two weeks ago. now i need to visit the kid. must plan a trip to see them. this is what happens when you buy yarn that is supposed to make stripes but then you work it in a diagonal pattern that starts from the corner of the blanket instead of the edge. kinda weird/kinda cool.














i liked it so much that i bought more yarn and started another for Samuel's future neighbor who is due in April. Stripes this time.
