Here’s some more thoughts. They’re trying to make a break for it, so I better write them down first. I guess I didn’t empty my head well enough yesterday. You think after almost four years of blogging I would know better by now.
- I updated to WordPress 2.7 this morning. It was surprisingly painless. I only had to deactivate one plugin and I did that before I upgraded. I like the interface MUCH better and I feel like I can customize everything a lot more to my wishes (and demands *cackle*).
- Of course, now I feel like my blog needs something new and shiny as a result. After all, now that the “backend” is looking so spiffy, that change needs to be reflected on the front end as well. However, I still love my design so I’m not sure what this would entail. A new plugin? Hmm. Must think about this one some more.
- I’ve got about nine inches of red scarf finished so far. I’m making this one for Harry, on some soft, acrylic yarn that he picked out at the craft store. I’m doing a rib knit on it (K2P2, for those in the know) and it’s looking great and all but DANG, it’s getting a little boring. Whenever I get too tired of it, I switch to working on Kile’s cap (in a heathered dark grey acrylic yarn), but his hat is in the ribbed stage as well. SIGH.
- This could be why I’m knitting in my sleep these days.
- I’m also spending a lot of time on the goodmama thread over at Diaper Swappers. This could also be why I was buying diapers in my sleep last night as well (when I wasn’t knitting, that is).
- I think I need a life.
- Mah birfday is tomorrow! However, I don’t think I’m in any way going to get the kind of attention and adoration Rhi got for her birthday with all the posts that sang her praises. Whatever. Attention hog. *wink*
- I need a shower and with both of the wee ones taking naps right now, I could take one. But I’ve sorta grown to enjoy taking one at night after I get Evie to bed. It’s a very relaxing way to finish the day and my hair has enough time to dry before I go to bed myself.
- Kile did not mail off all our packages yesterday. He stopped after three because the cost started to scare him. SIGH. This is officially going to be His Deal, not mine. And on that note, why does it cost so much in this day and age (and yes, even with the gas prices which really aren’t so bad right now anyhow) to ship something across country? It’s goofy! Overnight, Two-Day, Priority… those I can almost understand. But First Class and Parcel Post should be a LOT cheaper than they generally end up being. Makes one wonder why they don’t have a “Strap to the back of a passing burro” option. I’m thinking that could be a lot more affordable.
- And while I’m ranting about the Post Office… It happened AGAIN yesterday. Kile brought home the mail from our box (we have one of those “community” box thingies down around the corner from our house) and in it was a “Sorry we missed you” package delivery slip. Normally, they give you those when a package is too big to fit in the little locker thingie and you aren’t home when they bring it to your door and it needs a signature. But no one EVER came to the door. Our mail man has been getting VERY lazy. He doesn’t even TRY to come up to the door to see if someone is home (and yes, I’m pretty much ALWAYS home because I’m a total hermit). He just puts that slip in the mailbox and we have to go down to the post office (a good ways away from here too, down the interstate) to pick it up. I tried last night to go on the website and arrange for a redelivery but they wouldn’t even give me the OPTION to have it redelivered. I even tried to send them a pointed note saying “STOP IT! BRING PACKAGES TO MY DOOR!” and that “failed” out. Grr. The Post Office is OFFICiALLY On Notice.
Ahem. There. I feel much better now. Hopefully this brain-emptying will stick this time. I really don’t have a lot of room to spare in there, you know?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Well, unless you’ve gotten the box I sent you guys, it’s probably my fault that you have to go to the post office to retrive a package. Sorry.
And on a brighter note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARILYN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
