in progress

here's some more of the diagonal ribbed sock i've been working on. last night i turned the heel and started on the gussett. i think it's moving along quite nicely. of course this is sock number 1. i've been very careful and try to make sure i pay attention to where i stop especially with the pattern.

here's another pic where you can (maybe) see the pattern a little bit better.

i knit a few rows at lunch time but was distracted by this....popcorn (my lunch) with dark chocolate m&m's added towards the end of the bag. if you like dark chocolate and haven't tried the dark chocolate m&m's, you should go out and buy some. we have this lady in our group who brings in a couple of bags a week. i think she's trying to keep on our good side or something. you can hear the tink-tink-tink as she fills up the candy bowl. then you hear the tink-tink-tink as people get some out. i try to resist, but it's hard some days especially when i'm stressing. i've got to get back on the no-candy bandwagon.... it's just so hard to resist that sweetness sometimes. :)

we're almost ready to open up the budget system for folks to use. my boss went through this little panicked phase for about an hour this morning and then she wanted to argue as to how data should be loaded. it's very frustrating b/c this is the 4th year we've used this system. we haven't added anything new to the system from last year to this year. i made some enhancements by alphabetizing some of the drop-down lists to make it easier to find things. she doesn't keep good records about how she does maintenance on the system, which is pretty scary. i keep stuff at least for a year so i can refer back to it. and she calls me unorganized....whatever!!

well, i'm going to go now. i have an early cleaning appointment with the dental hygienist. i've been having problems with the one tooth they worked on. it's been kind of achy. i hope a cavity hasn't developed! if it has, i blame it on the dark chocolate m&m's....lol.

kisses.....
