A Day in the Life of Sachi

Ellen, dear… Apparently, there’s a bit of a cult following for those ski masks. Someone has actually made one.

(Thanks to Amy for posting links to all of this.)

Do you remember that I promised to share cute “Luna bonding with Mommy” pics if I didn’t take too many pictures at the S&B? Well, I didn’t take too many pictures. I took one picture. One amazingly, awesome, once-in-a-lifetime, I’m totally proud of it and may never take another picture more beautiful in my life type of picture.

Oh, yes, I will still share the adorable kitty and me pictures. I will share them, indeed. But I’m afraid it will do no good. Because after seeing this picture, no others will ever matter in your life. There is truly nothing more sacred and beautiful than the very beginning of life itself.

Cats, no matter how cute, have got nothing on what I’m about to show you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you Sam.
Annika and Will made him special, just for you and me to coo at.

(Why yes, that is a beer bottle behind his left shoulder. I assure you it wasn’t his.)

So you see, no other cuteness I could possibly offer at this point would even matter. Here are the cat pictures. Go ahead and look if you feel like it. But if you don’t feel like it, I wouldn’t blame you after seeing the beauty that is Sam.

I’ve never done a music meme before because most of them center around an Ipod. But here’s one’ yoinked from Miss Kendra.

Nothing substantive to enter today. With things winding up for my leaving at work, I’m finding it more and more difficult to stay focused and do what needs doing over the next few weeks. I haven’t yet had a panic attack about not having any income for a few months until I get up to Washington. I’m sure it’s coming. All I can do is brace for impact.

My dad called me today to inform me that house guests he though were coming in August (which was part of the reason for our September arrival date) are no longer coming, hinting that this means I can come up any time I’m ready. I’m ready. M isn’t. Nor is the house. A huge part of me just wants to pack up the clothes, the critters and leave everything else behind tomorrow. I’m trying really hard to be a good girl and stick with the plan.

I’ve been fighting a battle with Tasia’s socks, working out the whole toe-up gusset thing. It’s not working out very well. Although I know I have the right idea, it’s not quite spot on yet.

S&B is Thursday. I’ll be there with bells on. Look for some cute “Luna bonding with Mommy” pictures Thursday or Friday night, depending on how many pics I take at the S&B.

I finally broke down and purchased the new interchangeable needles from KnitPicks. I was doing sooooo well at resisting until I read a handful of reviews yesterday. And, lets face it… purple cord? I had no chance.

I love my baby, Luna.

Here are a few more pics from S&B Wig Night courtesy of Mr. Larry Underhill and his lovely wife, Ellen Bloom. Please go check out Ellen’s main site for more lovely pics. Also, Crazy Aunt Purl has posted the pics she took that night so pay her a visit too!

Tami and Me

A FANTASTIC picture of Tami! LOVE IT!!!

And just so you can see my fall in its full, ghetto glory, here I am helping Laurie Ann with her first pair of socks.

Some have commented recently at my being master of short posts these last couple days. I won’t mention any names but his initials are Dave Daniels. Oh, wait… Oops.

Bloglines wasn’t communicating well with Blogger for the whole weekend so I decided to keep it light for those who only check blogs during the week. Plus I ripped a pair of sock about 6838567 times over the weekend and I didn’t think anyone would be interested in my chronicle of frogging. I’ve been working on a sort of picture chronicle of a pair of basic socks to help Angel do her first pair. The OCD KAL was started so that I could do a KAL with my friend Christine but she sort of got sidetracked trying to earn an income. (Imagine that… money taking precendence over knitting.) So I figured I’d work on a huge photographic diary so that I could just point to a picture when anyone got stuck. So many people are afraid of DPNs, I thought it would be helpful to explain them as highly detailed a fashion as possible.

OMG!!! Where’s his head?????

Oh. There it is.

Stepherz is in labor!!!!

*Update*
It’s a boy!!!
