I thought I had another post

Or maybe I dreamed I had another post. You know I can never tell when I do these things. Lovely weather that past few days. Nice to see the sun for a change.

Monday

We've had a busy start to our week. Brian had his first day in high school He went by himself on the bus. Wouldn't' let any of us go with him. He said the day went well. Of course kids never tell you anything.
Heather got her wisdom teeth out today. She is sitting on the couch getting waited on. That is they way she likes to be treated.
I'm off this week. Will probably go up to my mothers on Friday. I hope to get Brian's sweater finished this week. Then I can work on my shawl.

Sept 11, 2005

4 years later. Makes you think.
I am consumed with the sadness and loss of life from The Gulf Coast.
I contributed my money like everyone else. The kids and I will get our used clothes thogether and call up the Salvation Army.
At this point in my life it is all I can do.
I am very happy for my little life. Even if it does anoy me from time to time.
I will also update our disaster supplies. Then try to figure out how I would be able to get myself and my kids out of the city if we had to.
I do not drive and do not have a car, so I guess the kids and I better learn how to walk with a pack on our backs.
My biggest fear is that I will be at work. I work on the other side of the Bay. On a normal day it takes me 90 minutes to get home.
I guess we need to sit down and plan out what we will do in the event of a disaster and we can't make it home.

September already?

I can't belive that summer is already over. San Francisco hasn't seen much sun as usual. This is suppose to be the start of our good weather. We did have a few nice days last week, but the past few days have been foggy.
I am waiting for the sun and they tell us we may have an early autumn. I don't want that. I want an Indian Summer.
Still trying to knit Brian's sweater. Started a shawl. I should wait until Brian's sweater is finished, but I didn't.

Another month

I can't not keep up with time.
I still haven't posted my vacation pictures. I"m still knitting but I'm not finishing anything. I just go from one project to the other. Spend time on things I don't have to think about.
Yet time still passes.

Life

Terrible how quickly life takes over your life.
I am slowly getting my pictures developed and put on disk. They came out great. Hope to have my vaction esay up sometime this week with pictures.
Oh and I've been blog spammed. First time.
Don't these people have anything better to do?

What I did on my summer vacation

I'm back. Also back at work. First time I came home from vacation and went to work. I can do it.
So when I get the chance I will write more about vacation.
My digital camera broke so I had to buy disposable cameras. I will get the pictures on CD's and then I can post them here.
We all had a great time and are glad to be home in the fog.
Did I tell you guys Stephanie will be in Berkeley tomorrow night. I am unable to go. Boo Hoo. I am so jealous of those that can go.
Oh well another time.

Wednesday

New roof on the house. Yea.
I just did some cleaning and hanging out on the computer. Not very productive.
I have been having a hard time knitting. I may try it tonight while I am watching TV.
I've been reading blogs lately that show that I am really out of touch with what is going on in the world. I thought I read a lot. I guess I need to pay more attention.

Another Week

I tried to knit on Heather's sock last week. I think I finished 2 rounds and then put it down.
I have yarn to make a BSJ. I'll take that to work tonight and see If I can make one. There are a few babies at work and it would be nice to make some sweaters for them.
I don't think I'll go up to my mother's this week. I think I need to get healthy and this traveling between the fog and heat isn't helping me.
Then the landlord stopped by they want to put the new roof on this week. I think I need to be home for that.
So hopefully I can get some much needed rest this week.

Life as I know it

I've had a cold. It has been unbearably hot in Elk Grove and I've survived. I have to make a month full of Dr. appts between myself, my parents and my kids. Then I wonder why I haven't been knitting.
Oh, well. Things can only get better.

Stern Grove

If you live around San Francisco you've probably heard about the Stern Grove concerts. Rachael(yarn a go go) had pictures from a concert a few weeks ago. There was sun. My momories of Stern Grove have always been cold and foggy. Which is why my kids didn't go to summer camp there. Brian and I went to listen to the Symphony Orchestra. It was a lovely concert. We left early because Brian was freezing. Poor kid.

Happy 4th of July

I hope everyone has a great weekend and be carefull with the fireworks.

Happy Gay Pride

Hope everyone who is out in San Francisco enjoys themselves this weekend.
Tomorrow is the big parade. I will not be out. My parents use to go and watch the parade every year when they were mobile. Everyone stay safe.

Weekend

I'm working this weekend. The weather has been great. Foggy in the morning and then the sun comes out later in the day. I love it. Not to warm, but sun.
Finished a 5 hour baby sweater. Took about a week. I have a friend who can make one in 5 hours. I guess I don't knit that fast. Need to finishe up Brian's sweater.
We had an ok trip up to my parents. I had a migrane on the trip. Not a good way to travel. It wasnt' to hot up there so that helped.

Saturday

Other then rain on Wednesday which is not normal for us, we have had very nice weather. Also not normal for us. Sunny today. They say it is 69.

Earthquakes and Tsunami's

I live 6 blocks from the Pacific Ocean.
I hear we've had a few earthquakes in California this week. Didn't know about any of them or the Tsunami warning we had on Tuesday.
So I guess I'm not worried. LOL
We have a system im place so we can be warned about these things. Of course the people in power are suppose to know about the warning so they can warn us. System doesn't work if those is power know nothing.
On the knitting front. I am almost finished with the second sleeve of Brian's sweater. I will shorten the first sleeve before I start to put the sweater together.
