in other news. i have got to log in here more often.

i miss some of you too much to bear any longer.

it's so funny. i was looking at the FAQs to see if i could automatically update my blog here, via RSS feeds or whatever. it appears that i cannot since i don't have a paid account, but looking through the lj FAQs i was taken back to all the time i spent reading through the helpful tips on one topic or another, several long years ago. that reminded me of all the time i used to spend changing my journals' appearance, messing around with html, and while it seems like a big waste of time, in retrospect, it was also time spent learning new things :)

missed you guys. facebook only gets so far, you know?

gonna catch up on your lives while printing labels and waiting for some dude from a rental management company. we're likely going to rent our house since selling, at this point, is unlikely. oh stress!

oh if i cared any less...oh what's that? see, i don't even give enough of a shit to come up with a witty answer. boo.

for whatever reason i never, ever got into watching lost. i can't remember if i was just disinterested or too busy when the series premiered but i felt like once a certain point had passed, there was no way to just jump into it and get absorbed. so i didn't.

throughout the years, i kept up with friends' entries and gathered bits and pieces from previews and whatever, but i was still not ever super intrigued.

recently i discovered the entire series was available for instant viewing on netflix and i decided to take the plunge. i can safely say i was hooked pretty much right away but now that i'm in season three, holy crap! i didn't expect to like this show so much.

it is so much more creepy and intense than i ever imagined it would be - and i can seriously overlook all of the predictable, overly set-up comic relief bits.

it's also been good for getting my knitting mojo back. i am a pretty avid knitter when i have a good series to keep me up at night. first it was sex and the city, then six feet under, then scrubs. i don't know what i'll do when i'm through with lost, but i think i want to start six feet under all over again...that's really neither here nor there, but it deciding on lost was a good idea. i needed something, since i recently partnered up with a waldorf doll maker and i just knit her four doll cardigans that i have to send out tomorrow. i felt so compelled to knit, even after knitting nine cardigans total, that i picked up the unfinished soaker i started for evan three times now. it was supposed to be a pair of shorties last summer, then longies last winter - at this point i'm going for board shorts that will fit him like manpris this summer/fall and hopefully he'll get a bit of use out of them before potty training next year. i feel so bad because i'd reserved so much yummy yarn for him and i've knit him all of four things, maybe. and i've just about had it with wool - we're using AIOs and pockets nearly all of the time. but still, i felt like knitting even after my "work" was done and finishing something i started long ago felt better than starting something fresh.

part of me is wondering why i'm posting this here...or at all. what a boring entry, no? for some reason i'd become all sure that i could start blogging, like for serious. and then i let even regular updates here completely sputter out and now it seems all preposterously weird to pop in and be like, hi, i'm like six years behind the trend in television and i'm knitting furiously.

i'm not manic, i promise.

god, i have an awful lot of reading to do. i've missed you my dearies, even though i keep up with most of ya'll on facebook...not all of you, i fear (and even if i did, things do get lost and shuffled around there, no?)

i have an awful lot of other things to do, too, and there are no words but things are good :)

our costco has hanna zippers. they're the new, tighter ones (of course) but they're $12. if anyone would like some that doesn't have a costco around, i'm taking orders and heading over to both of ours tomorrow and sunday. i know that, as of right now, they have sizes 60-90 in a good assortment of girly, boyish, and GN patterns but most seem to be prints on white backgrounds (not a lot of stripey colors) so let me know. if you're not picky, i can get gender specific pieces and ship them :)

wow.

i'm tired.

was going to produce one heck of an awesome-TMI-sort of updates but my bebe is teething and clingy and hurty and will sleep but not let me put him down even to pee.

so, no sharing - though i did catch-up reading on all of you, my lovies.

if my bridal shower/birthday party and evan's birthday party are indicative of the attendance at my wedding, i won't have to worry that we invited about twice as many people as we intended because only half will show up.

i am still in the midst of dress drama and a new one will be arriving tomorrow. i hope that it will be perfect but it will likely be too big. hopefully big in a way that can easily be fixed because i'm getting married in three weeks and what kind of bride is still without a dress with just three weeks to go? i might look too casual compared to what everyone else is wearing but at this point i'm okay with that. and it was only $28 shipped, from j.crew. that in and of itself brings me joy.

last month i "won" or earned over $800 worth of products from facebook giveaways or promotions. no shit.

i started this entry hours ago, tried too much to multitask, got bored when i came back, and now i have to go run errands. so.
