Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Soy, Soy. The musical fruit. the more you eat, the more you toot
Like you need that insight.
I've got the first of 3 xmas parties this afternoon. Giving away pottery and that Nessa vest. This will be the best xmas party as far as Moira is concerned. No, its not about gifts, this one is the only one where she will have other children. Its sad, I remember when I was a kid and we had a family xmas party there were tons of kids all over the place. Well my brother has children but they live in hawaii with his x wife so I haven't seen them in over 3 yrs and Jay's sister doesn't want kids and until recently really hasn't seemed to care much for Moira. So today will be good for my little only child, getting to see her cousins, second cousins actually but they might as well be called cousins as my cousin Bob is my "adopted" brother since his mom is a bitch - long story, but she's the reason I have a fence in my yard. Even longer story. My cousin is getting pottery (they are collecting a whole set of my stuff) Jacob is getting a Bruins hockey jersey and hat and this really cool Quesy bake oven (yes its suppose to make really gross things that you may want to eat) his sister Nessa is getting a barbie doll as well as her vest and some earrings 
Ok so she's not getting this barbie but I still would have liked it as a kid. I altered many of barbies any way - some say destroy and I say decorated
On the knitting front - The shawl is almost done. Thank god. I had put in a life line, I'm not sure what made me think of it because I rarely ever do that. I ended up frogging to that 3 times and decided to say screw it and not do the last 4 pattern rows. Instead I added 2 garter rows, then did the eyelet row and now all I have left are the 10 garter rows to finish it off. Piece of cake. I only have one sock finished for my dad. ah - he'll be ok with one sock and I'm sure after the hell of the holiday stress I can finish it right off next weekend. I was going to take pics but I left the camera downstairs in my sewing room.
Jay's computer died and we tought this one did also. Stressful day. Who needs that at the holidays. We both use our computers for business so its not just a pleasure issue. My "Willdelplato" died in October and Jay bought this one and we were going to try and fix willdelplato but we aren't sure that we can now. Yesterday his is officially dead (hmm I dont know what he calls that one). Unfortunately his died before he could back anything up, so many irreplaceable photos and other info is gone. We thought this one "otherwhitemeat" was gonna kick it too. It is in fact laboring pretty hard , especially for a brand new computer (but at least its warming my lap). We thought we got some uncharted virus. We've ceaned it up best we can but there is nothing charted for what we think we got. It will be interesting to see if something comes up in the next few days. We seem to get viruses before they are even known, which is why I rarely ever open attachements unless I am expecting something.
