Rule of Thumb

this morning i drove into boston for a doctor's appointment. (by the way, if your thumb gets a sore on it that doesn't get better in a day or two with antibiotic ointment and a bandaid, go to the doctor. don't wait for two months in the hopes that your super-human immune system will fight the infection. it won't. and the doctor and your husband just end up thinking you're crazy. all's well though. nothing that 14 days of oral antibiotics won't cure).

when i got back home, J was out front doing a little exacavation work. not a shovel and hoe for J. nooooo, when he excavates .... he excavates.

by the way, i'll be lucky if i can get him down from there ... ever.

i also have a new neighbor. her name is sarah and she's 5 days old. i finished her blanket just in time.

by the way, don't tell anyone, but, um, i made it out of acrylic yarn....shhhh

Wow. I go away for three days, and you finish a baby blanket (very cool, not pink and blue), take a quiz, praise Gore and Clinton, bash Bush and in so doing piss off a republican with spelling trouble, and go on a two-week medical binge to heal a neglected wound. I'm impressed!

Very cute blanket.

Even though my last blanket was made of cotton, I make most of mine with good ol' Red Heart or Bernat acrylic yarn. I have a big stash of acrylic, and I intend to use it.

ALL baby blankets should be done in acrylics. What parent with a newborn wants to be handwashing and blocking wool blankets?

Hmm... Does that same rule apply to your big toe? Because my stupid piranha shoes have left a sore that hasn't healed. I was sort of hoping the super human immune system was going to kick in any day now, but... Crap.
