ok. evil dragonfly story.
On Sunday Mr Wonderful and I went for a paddle in a little pond hereabouts. After our run we stuck the boats back on the car and headed home. Upon arriving home we discovered that a dragonfly had been inadvertantly stuck between the two boats, and his tail was…um, absent. There was a little puddle of greenish “bug guts”. He was frozen in death, just the little body with the wings. I began to admire the wings a little, noted his big green pop-eyes, thought how sad it was that I shoudl fear these poor little creatures. I reached up to remove him from the boat. HE WAS ALIVE. Fully, functionally, alive, FLEW OFF THE CAR. Landed on the ground beside me. I thought “that has to be a reflex…” but no, he was able to function in spite of having lost his body, and was basically just a head with wings.

I stomped the hell out of it. They have to be possessed.

I’m one of those people that loves dragonflies on jewelry and fabric and etc but loathe them in real life, freak ass things.

And what’s bugging mer today- vacation is over *sigh* miss the beach already… and of course I hate playing catch up with the online world after a week! That bugs me, so much to do! e-mails, pictures to upload and fix, blogs to read/comment on, my blog to update, message boards to update/maintain, the new HP book to read, and now I’ve been invited to Ravelry (I’m eatmyoxygen over there) so theres one more thing there doesn’t feel like I have enough time for!

Oh, I must confess….I almost had a shade of the Wollmeise and right as I was going to click to check out..the little notice came up saying it had been removed from my shopping cart. Ugh, utter madness. Plus, it made me feel like my stolen computer time was wasted…..:)

But I will keep focused on my Duets sock yarn and how happy I am that I figured out the magic cast on and how fun it is to have different toe and heel yarn! I will keep focused on the fun new flowers on the table that we bought this morning on our walk to the Farmers Market..sunflowers and lavender.

I try to not let things bug me..but you, know sometimes we all just have to have “buggy” days!

Oh, another thing?? This morning while my son was blowing bubbles? He spilled three, yes, three, containers of bubbles and even got the stuff in his eyes. Ugh..now that kind of bugged me!!

Not so fond of the dragonflies, either. They’re pretty, but I’ve gotten dive-bombed on the local rail trail. (Old railroad now converted to hiking/biking trail).

Pet peeve: Not being able to figure out how to put a Loopy link on my blog. I think it’s a LiveJournal thing. Grrr.

And it should be mentioned that I don’t suffer fools gladly.

It did occur to me, reading your last post, that the odds and ends from socks might be useful for tiny hats used in the Neonatal ICUs. My daughter went through several sized hats while she was there, and you wouldn’t believe how small the first one was. Just musing…..

About the Grande PM…is that with or without whip cream? With whole milk, 2% or lowfat?

I indulge in the Cinnamon Dolce’s a bit too often but I drop the whip (which is 100 calories alone) and rotate through either non-fat or 2% to lower the calories a bit more.

What’s bugging me today? My stupid cell phone is shorting out. The screen is completely white and still makes calls MOST of the time. Thankfully the new one should arrive today or tomorrow. (I think I need a Cinnamon Dolce to get me through until then.)

What bugs me?:
The black hole in which my Fleece Artist wool seems to have been sucked up into (or the customs official who is happily knitting away with my Loopy order)
or
Errors in knitting patterns. I adapt the patterns to use two circulars instead of dpns and there is nothing worse than thinking you are going completely batty and ripping back a section of your socks (several times), only to discover that the problem isn’t you or your calculations, it’s a printing error! Sigh…there goes the most socks prize in the Summer of Socks 2007!

What bugs me?

1. Applying for jobs online. It’s like a black hole where your resume goes and never returns.

2. Not having time to knit. Damn grad school.

3. Waking up with a kink in my neck so bad i can’t turn my head one direction.

I’m so glad I didn’t wait until I got home to check out the sneak-up! Even so someone snatched my Wollmeise in Red Hot Chili right out of my cart – dang! But I’m happy with Spritley Goods in Bluebells, Chewy Spaghetti in Lovely (can’t wait to try it with the pattern I bought) and Feista in Cosmopolitan.
