Itching to knit...

I'm sitting here in my painting clothes looking at knitting blogs, procrastinating going back to painting the kitchen, wishing beyond hope that I had a little bit of sock yarn so that I could cast on and knit something. I want a pair of socks, for me not to give away. I'm wishing that I had some semi-exotic yarn, not too exotic, just something that can't be bought at Joann's or Michael's.

This one goes out to Jim Miller...

I dedicate this post to the memory of Jim Miller, though I never knew him in life; he left me all of his math books. Were it not for his passing just before I joined the IT dept at Hood, I may never have acquired his books and saved them for this day when I would need a text on matrices and linear algebra. If it weren't for him I may not have solved the final problem and finished , beyond reasonable doubt, the homework for this semester. So here's to you Jim Miller, wherever you are :)

I'm DONE! Now I can amuse myself with other things like painting my kitchen and dining room and laying bamboo flooring and assembling and installing cabinets and appliances!

Wooo hooo!

Kiss Me I'm Irish!

I just got a letter from the Irish Consulate saying that my application for citizenship has finally been approved! I had actually given up on it to be honest. Now just 127 Euros and I'll be officially Irish :)
