Mental Speed Bump

I've written several witty and entertaining posts in my head this week.  Oh, you'd have loved them.  It seems like the only time I have to sit down and transfer the posts from my head to the keyboard is after 10 p.m. and well, I guess my creativity shuts down around 8:15.

I also make drafts in Typepad, sometimes only with a few words or phrases to remind me of what I want to post.  So if you ever see a post that says something like "Toenails.  What I need from Harbor Freight.  Boxes.  7 pounds.", then you know I've accidently hit Post instead of Save as Draft.

I do need to share some disturbing news.  I have only unpacked one Ravalium sock.  The other is MIA.  I'm hoping I'll find it hidden away somewhere, but I've got a bad feeling about this pair.

To make matters worse, we went to the pool yesterday and found a notice:  "Pool Closed Due to Broken Water Line".  There goes several good hours of knitting time.  I wonder how long a broken water line takes to fix.  I can't even imagine the horror if it stays closed all summer.

And if bad things happen in threes, then hopefully I'm done.  Because my Christmas present is gone.  El Paso seems to have a fondness for some brutal speed bumps and they don't paint them so they take you by surprise as you rattle your teeth driving over them.  Apparently I hit one the wrong way and my beautiful trailer skein I was so proud of got whacked off.

But I started the Snake River socks for my mom in Cherry Tree Hill and that's a happy thing.

This weekend I'm planning to tirelessly dedicate myself to unpacking, organizing, and healthy eating.  We'll see how that goes.

Oh no! Not the trailer skein! And an MIA Ravalium sock and closed pool on top of that? Booo!

Eh, screw healthy eating. I'd have my face in a bowl of potato chips. As it is, I'm counting down to when I can snarf down the leftover chicken wings in my fridge. Is 10:45 too early for lunch?

Man, what a bummer. Maybe you'll find the sock. I hope so. My hands hurt too much to knit, so we can cry together. Glad you got a start on those River socks. They are going to be lovely.

You'll find that speed bumps the size of Mt. Everest are a Texas thing and not just confined to El Paso. Remember, everything is bigger and better in Texas.
