Have I mentioned before that the klutz gene is strong in my family?? I was out in the snow all of about ten minutes before I slid and sprained my ankle and knee. That was Saturday... Today is Tuesday and we went to an orthopedic doctor because it didn't feel any better. So now I have this:

lovely fashion statement! Fortunately it isn't fractured. Just a REALLY REALLY HORRIBLY TERRIBLE really bad sprain... The ace bandage felt a lot better... *sigh* it hurts! *sob* and the crutches are making my arms sore.

It hurts pretty bad right now so I think I'll go take a nap.....

OMG IT SNOWED!

The Forum Story

It all started several months ago when Jesse, Wendy and I were all on the phone. Wendy mentions making a forum for us and all our friends to talk on because no one seems to have the same IM/phone schedule.

fast forward to last week.

I'm checking the Risembool Ranger boards, and it hits me "This isn't 'their own board'... its from a sight! Didn't Wendy say something about a forum... I wonder if this will work? I'll have to send her the link...."

So I did and it started the whole forum thing over again. Apparently I'm the only one who even remembers her mentioning it. So Wendy and I decide that we are going to do it ourselves and then present it to the rest of our friends around Valentines day.

So while we work out the details (*cough*like what to name it) I made a demo forum to decide if we even like the site! We had trouble naming that one too.. "Just make something up its just the demo!" was all the advice Wendy had.. So, I named it after the song I was listening to Oh My Juliet by LM.C (only the greatest band on earth). It's actually not a bad name choice since Wendy and I are hopeless LM.C fangirls....

The point of this WHOLE story is that I decided the demo needed a banner... and I had never tried photoshop before.... I came up with this!

(Want my theory as to why Maya has weird faces in almost every picture he's in? I like to think its because Aiji refuses to have any expression at all, and Maya has to show emotion for both of them...)

Anyway, I'm totally proud of my first photoshop thingummie!

Knitting update for all of you who read through all that:

Knee socks:

There would be more to report here, but I'm to lazy to figure up my -Es... probably do that this weekend

And well, the baby blanket? well, we shan't talk about that...

Watch this space!!

I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE I will blogg tomorow. Padawan has been instructed to torture me until I do it!! I will!

New Year, New Knitter

Ok. First I'll say what I meant to say in the last post:

The clear shoes are comfy!! The flappy thing under the laces (very technical term there) takes a bit of getting used to, but other than that perfect! I love them so incredibly much!

And AJ asked how I got Bella to sit still for a picture with that hat. Well, I'm not sure if all kittys do this, but both of mine did. When I put it on them... It like, sorta paralyzed them or something. I don't get it, but they just wouldn't move, at all. I tried to move one of them (get them to pose better) and it was like they were a statue. I picked her up completely and she stayed in exactly the same position. It was really weird. But after a minute or two they snapped out of it and ran off.

I'm not really one for New Year's resolutions, so there won't be any posted, but here's what I did New Year's eve!

Well, Kaiti and Sara came over and shot fireworks!

We were having a Harry Potter wand battle with the sparklers here. There's a better picture of us with the sparklers, but I had a really weird almost demented looking smile on my face.... *recycle bin*

There we are just after midnight!
See us in out little hats?
Yeah we haven't undecorated Christmas yet, laziness mostly...





And I taught Sara to knit!!! I think she got a little annoyed with all the pictures I took of her and her new talent. I've made a new knitter! *wipes tear*


In this picture she is pointing to her slipped stitch. She was SO proud that she only messed up once in all that!

And it's officially 2008 so I can start the ribbed sock for the 2008 sock KAL I'm in on ravelry! I'll put up pictures and the patter/yarn later. But of course I have to meet my 10 rows of baby blanket a day before I can work on it. That thing is pure evil. Last night I had a nightmare about it. A giant half knit baby blanket chasing me through a yarn shop trying to poke me with its needles. Well, that's what I get fore watching Blood: The Last Vampire before I got to bed. *sigh*

Happy New Year to you all!
