today Bill and i a reading out for about three days in the greater Albany area to go apartment hunting.

well actually, we'll be staying in Albany but will be apartment hunting in Troy, (you know, where he's going to go to school.)

Bill has a stack of hopeful printouts, so our hopes are high.

wish us luck!

for all those weirdos who don't read my husband ([info]oaksong)'s journal, I have a little announcement...

I'm pregnant!

unfortunately I'm also suffering from an abundance of morning sickness (or as I like to say, every freaking time of the day sickness) which is why I haven't really been all that active the last couple of months. (it's sad, Bill actually bought me my own special little bucket that I take from room to room with me in case of a puke emergency)

we don't know the due date yet, I have a really messed up menstrual cycle so going by my last period is unreliable. we have an appointment with the obgyn on the 14th of July for the official examination, and we should know by then. Rough estimates put it around mid January though.

ok, time for my nap. (oh yeah, pregnancy has turned me into a cat, I sleep 12 hours, get up, eat, go back fro a nap, get up for lunch, go back for a nap, and then maybe stay up for a little bit before going to bed. but you know when I'm asleep is like the only time I'm not feeling sick. :( )

calling all Wavy gravy Ice Cream fans.

I'm working on putting together a copycat recipe for the ice cream that my husband describes as "it tastes like god would taste if you made it into an ice cream"

so far I have the description from Ben & Jerry's flavor graveyard, and a general idea as to how to proceed, but I need more info:
I need to know what it tasted like to you, more cashew or more Brazil nut? lots of caramel, or not very much? how many roasted almonds were in it? was it overwhelmingly fudgy, or was there only a modest amount of swirl?

once I start making test batches I will need testers, if you live close enough and used to love Wavy Gravy let me know and I'll pass some along.
(please! Bill and I should not be eating a lot of ice cream! although I will warn you, the ingredients are not cheap, so I don't know how many batches I will be able to afford to make)

many of you may have already seen this over on Bill's journal, but i want to make sure everybody sees it, because this guy is just amazing.

Arthur Hinds ([info]kingofthewho ), whom you may know from the most awesome Pagan Celtic band Emerald Rose, will be performing here in Clayton on July 26th at the Lyric Coffee House (where I work)!

Parts North

If you'll be anywhere near the area then, you have to come listen to the most excellent Mr Hinds! Bill and I will be there, we wouldn't miss it for anything.

I've started a new knitting podcast.
I'm focusing mostly on music, with a few little knitting tid-bits now and then.

It's going to be (hopefully) weekly and about half an hour per episode.
I've called Whiskers in a Twisted Stitch, which goes along nicely with the Etsy Shop I started earlier this month (or vise versa.)

If you want to listen and promote me, please do!
The show notes are at http://whiskersinatwistedstitch.blogspot.com/
And the first episode is up.
It's rather rough, but I'm happy with it for a first episode.

Feedback is very welcome as long as it's constructive.
Tell your friends!

For [info]ourika:
"Please note that Knit It! is published once per year and is not available on subscription!"

this is all I could find.

I have the 2005 and 2006 issues which were given to my by [info]riki_kiki_taco when she worked at Micheals. I only just recently found them after we put up the new bookcases.

I have started a new knitting blog.

I originally started it so I could join a community on blogspot, but then thinking about it I decided to make it an actual blog, I find I post a lot about knitting and I'm sure not everybody here wants to read those posts (if you do, I started a feed, link below), but when I want to point something out to people on other lists or groups outside of LJ it is difficult to be sure they are directed to the purely knitting content.

I wavered on weather to duplicate post my knitting posts to both journals, but I think it would be easier and neater to just make one post to the knitting journal alone. There is already new content there if you would like to read it.

My new knitting blog is at:
http://akittenknits.blogspot.com

if you want to feed it directly to LJ you can do so though here

Posting over here on lj should stay relatively the same, and I'm going to try to post about my knitting more often, in an effort to keep myself going. (Hopefully this will cut down on the number of unfinished objects)

I made a list of things I needed to do today, because they need to be done, and if I didn't write them down I would forget.

Here is the list.

1-morning class
2-homework
3-get box and packing materials for keyboard
4-clean back room
5-clean bedroom
6-get color cartridge for printer, install it
7-pack up and send out keyboard
8-send tracking # to support
9-homework
10-evening class

I got 1 done, and part of 2, and 6 was easy, 10 won't be until 6:30.
Nothing else is finished.
I suck.

Ok, UPS doesn't open till 3:30, and the post office had a line a mile long when I stopped in. and I'm just a lazy slob when I comes to my room.
Still it's no excuse.

Ok, ok, I'm going to go clean up my rooms now, and maybe I'll go take care of the keyboard thing on my way to class...

{edit}
Numbers 4 and 5 now completed!
Yay!

And She Was
Hey!

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
And she's drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all
And she's up above the yard

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
(Hey, hey)
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was

Hey, hey, hey

She was proud about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure about what she's done
No time to think about what to tell him
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

Hey hey, hey hey, hey!

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions
Oh, oh oh

Hey hey hey (repeated..)

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
Hey, woo hoo
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
Hey, hey

Joining the world of missing persons and she was
Missing enough to feel all right and she was

Ha ha
And she was
(repeated..)
