I stole this from Amanda.

30 years ago I……
was in kindergarten, learning to read.

20 years ago I……
Was in 9th grade, and I believe doing rather badly in biology. That was also the year I was elected president of the French Club, which my circle of friends somehow thought was a major coup, because I beat Jason Schusler, who was one of the “in crowd”. We weren’t so much part of it. I’m not entirely sure how we thought the French Club was the key to popularity…

10 years ago I……
Was just starting to date Kris. It was a bad fall for me, and he helped me get through a lot. I was also working on a production of “The Man Who Came to Dinner”, which was the last show I did at the Academy Theatre.

5 years ago I……
Was working for Circuit City, probably tearing my hair out getting the last few new stores opened up for Black Friday.

2 years ago I……
Was dealing with the news that FOUR different people I knew (including both of my cousins) were pregnant. It was not a good fall.

1 year ago I……
Was preparing for Thanksgiving dinner at our house, which included us, my parents, our friends with their 18-month old and his folks, and other friends of ours with their 7-year old son and 6-month old daughter.

1 month ago I……
Was at Stitches with Betsy! And prepping for my Rhinebeck and SAFF trips.

1 week ago I……
Was working on the Passin’ the Dress Code capelet.

1 day ago I……
Was watching Cameron and Edyta get eliminated from Dancing with the Stars while working on my Cherie Amour.

1 hour ago I ……
Was beating Kris at Scene It on the XBox.

And right now?…
I’m watching The Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 5, listening to Kris snore on the other end of the couch, and talking to my buddy Steve on Google. It’s an exciting night. (This is what happens when I lose track of time and realize I’m going to be late for my knitting guild meeting, so I decide not to go at all.)

I’m glad that our adventures with the plumbing amused all of you. No long-term issues going on, and we’re waiting for the estimate from the plumber to find out what’s ahead for the spring and the repairs. Oh, and I don’t believe that ANY of you wouldn’t have thought of the alternate meaning of “Kris’s Python”. I know y’all better than that.

Spanish Dancer is making progress. According to the calculations I’ve made, I’m about 45% of the way through the shawl, but that seems just insane. I’ll double-check myself, but if I’m right, woo hoo!

Monday night, I started another project - Cherie Amour from knitty.com, using the Brooks Farm Solana that was featured in last Friday’s Yarn Pr0n post. (Hmm… I’m sensing a pattern here. I’ll have to think carefully before I decide what to post this week!) I started Monday night, and made it almost to the waist ribbing. By last night, I had finished the body and had picked up for the right sleeve. I’m doing my sleeves differently than the pattern calls for - top down, in the round, and without the cuff ribbing. I’ll either do a bell sleeve or a straight sleeve. I’m not sure yet. The yarn is just wonderful to work with - soft and snuggly, nice stitch definition, and superwash to boot! If this keeps moving this quickly, I might even be able to wear it this weekend!
