Remote blogging
It’s the funniest thing. Sometimes, because our DSL is stupid, I can’t post. What we’ve discovered with the help of a friend, is that I get wireless network reception on my driveway. It isn’t ours. I don’t know WHOSE it is, but when my computer is down, I can sit in a lawn chair on my driveway and post on my laptop.
Cool.
What’s NOT cool is that the reason I’m sitting in a lawn chair on the driveway right now isn’t because of temperamental DSL service. It’s because last night I spilled water on the keyboard. How lame is that?
Ok, knitalongers, what’ve you got? I know that a certain miss Katie is working on hers. She has a brand-spanking new blog, too. Check it out!
Uta has finished hers! Yay!
I have done a little more on Cable-Eight, but not enough to warrant a photo. I did a little bit on the cable doll dress yesterday, but spent most of the day running errands. Now that I have enough energy to leave the house, I have a heck of a lot to do. I took Veronica to the hardware store yesterday afternoon and bought a bunch of stuff to start growing my wheatgrass in force and start a composting worm bin. I bought a couple of toys, too, like a new set of hand tools (gardening) and a PINK pair of gardening gloves with a rose on them. The green pair was cuter, but I figured if I bought the pink pair, Nate would be less likely to steal them.
I bought a fabulous pair of red gardening gloves a year or two ago, and he swiped them. Now they have holes. I told him what I had done yesterday and he said that the pink itself isn’t enough to dissuade. The rose is what got him. Hehehe. MY gloves. It isn’t like he doesn’t have his own pair, or three.
