prep wednesday

over the last hour i have been drinking this stuff that is supposed to help me get ready for my colonoscopy tomorrow. it tastes like really weak gatorade (i used the lemon-lime flavor pack). i don't think it would be so bad if i wasn't hungry. i have been on a clear liquid diet today and it sucks. enough about my procedure stuff though.

i just got off the phone with janelle. they are finally in chicago. they got a later start b/c the first bus had air conditioning problems. so another one came and picked them up at midnight. she sounded excited to be there and said she was going to call me later on.

i'm kind of stagnant on my knitting right now. i'm still working on the cozy shawl pattern from knitty.com. i just started with the 3rd skein of yarn. last time i measured the shawl, it was about 42-43 inches long. i'm probably going to make it at least 60 inches long or however long the skein of yarn makes it. i've got one more skein left and haven't decided yet if i'm going to use it or not. i just kind of feel like i'm never going to finish it.

i saw that episode of "still standing" again that had that really cool poncho judy was wearing. the name of the episode is called "still groping". i think i have found a pattern close to the one she was wearing. i don't know why all of a sudden i've gotten into the shawls and ponchos.

i think this weekend i'm going to hit the bookstores and check out the new knitting books. i'm hoping one of them will have the punk knit books i saw in charlotte. barnes and nobles usually carries the eccentric type of books like that. i want to look at them again to see if they are something i'd like to buy.

this stuff isn't working yet....

back to the knitting...i also want to make that shrug for janelle. i might go look for the yarn this weekend for it. also, i'm going to be near a hobby lobby when i go to pick her up monday. i might swing by there and see what yarn is on sale that would be suitable for the project. i want to make it for her and have it ready when she comes back from world changers and sc business week. she'll be gone almost 2 straight weeks.

oops...i'm going to have to go for a while. i'll write more later on....

kisses....
