Procrastination in Pink

I'm on vacation this week so that means lots of sleeping in and general lazing-about, mixed with short bursts of productivity. Yesterday I finished a pair of socks (Mom's orange safety socks, sorry no picture - the camera is packed) and sewed in all the ends of my dishcloths for the new house. Then I watched two movies and read a whole book. NICE!

Today I caught up newsgroups and blogs, and saw that Teresa had added this avatar-thingy to her blog, and I thought, "that looks like fun", so I just made one myself. It looks a fair bit like a cartoon-me, except for the figure. They really should have options other than "anime porn princess" for figure type. Note to Teresa: It's sheer coincidence I came up with the same outfit as you. But it's okay, we're in different provinces. :)

Well, the avatar-thingy didn't look right with the old blog format, so I decided to pink things up for awhile, just for a change. Which is helping me avoid the last two assignments of my correspondence course (only for awhile, they have to get done today, period). But first there will be - SHOPPING! I have to buy new bed linens (for the new bed, woohoo), and a few odds and ends of householder-type stuff, because moving day is coming up fast. Still a few things to pack but I've run out of boxes, so they may have to wait for a later trip.

Unfortunately, all the knitting is packed, except for the red&white headscarf, which I frogged back to zero (didn't like the way the edging was coming out), and the beginning of a blanket in White Buffalo, which is hardly 30+ humidex knitting! I could go dig something out of the bins I suppose, but I'm not really motivated to start anything new right now. I had to frog my second purple sock back too - messed up the heel turn and it didn't fit at all, so it's frogged to zero and re-balled as punishment for misbehaving. ;)

Mostly I just feel like sleeping, which I do have the time to do, but opportunity is something else again. Hard to nap here (the old place, aka Mom & Dad's) and we don't have the keys (or a bed) yet for the new place. That's something I'm greatly looking forward to, actually, is being able to have a nice quiet nap in my own home. Provided, of course, that the neighbours are reasonably quiet too - the guy on one side of us might be a problem, but then again maybe not.

Which leads me to another thought - rather than clutter up here with non-knitting content, I think I'll start me a second blog. Ooh, inspiration has struck. More to come...
