CountryMouse's Refuge

I should go finish eating my late meal.

Why do I think that sitting here at the computer will make my iPod charge any faster?

Rain has been tapping on the window. I hope we don't get heavy rain overnight or tomorrow. We still have everything moved as far away as possible from the leaky roof/ceiling in the living room, but I'd rather we not have ANY leaking. Who knows when it's going to be fixed?! I also hope we don't have any thunderstorms overnight. I've gotten to the point that any remotely "severe" weather scares me. I don't consider heavy snowfall to be "severe" weather, though. :-)

Okay, back to food.

We did get some heavy rain and some rumbles of thunder overnight, but no leaking! Yay! And it was the kind of thunderstorm that you just snuggle down into the covers a bit more and drift back into sleep. :-)

It looks like it's going to be a fairly cloudy day today, so I don't think I'll be working on anything ::mumble mumble mumble:: (secrecy required here--someone reads this IJ that mustn't know! hehehehe!) that requires good daylight.

Should probably do this morning: wash dishes.

Would like to do today: play "Disney Fairies: TinkerBell". I bet Fairy Mary is not going to be happy with me--I didn't play yesterday at all, so I didn't accomplish anything. No darts for me?

I must not start another knitting or crochet project until I finish something I'm working on now!!

I have three dishcloths moving along nicely. I have the super-secret project I need to start Real Soon Now (I don't consider this starting something new--this is an already-begun-in-my-head project; Scott Cunningham said that you've already started doing a spell when you've begun thinking about it and planning it out in your head). I have that crocheted bathmat I need to finish. I am not in a hurry to finish the knitted Mango Scarf. That's something to work on while Cat'r reads to me. I don't need it until autumn. I'd like to finish the Baby Banana amigurumi at some point.

Other UFO's: knitted mixed-media summer shawl; little pale-blue knitted fuzzy keyhole scarf; loom-knitted rib-knit warm yellow scarf; green-and-white Beth's Little Star afghan.

I have lots of yarn packaged up with labels as to what it's intended for. At some point I want to make a Jayne hat for Cat'r! hehehe He said he'll wear it if I make it!

BUT: after I finish Mama's two washcloths and ::mumble mumble mumble::, I want to get started on a hat-scarf set for charity. It'll be for winter, for Solomon's Porch. I have the yarn here and want to get started. I just don't know if I'm going to knit a hat in the round or crochet. For a guy I'm going to use one strand of black worsted weight yarn and one strand of army green WW yarn held together--homemade camo. Should be nice and warm!

So: lots of WIMs (works in mind), WIPs (works in progress), etc. Yeah: WIPs sounds *much* better than UFOs (unfinished objects)! :-)

I'm sure I'll knit or crochet on something today--I have the urge!

I got started on the super secret project today after all. I also knitted a bit more on Mama's Strawberry Parfait washcloth (I'm crocheting one for her also--I'm calling it Sunny Day).

I got the dishes done. I played "Disney Fairies: TinkerBell". I only got one dart. Oh well.

This evening Bunnicula and I got caught up on "Desperate Housewives" via the ABC site. We watched two episodes. We've been watching faithfully since the very beginning, in 2004. It's just a long-time favourite. :-)

Signed up with NaBloPoMo for March. Yeah!

What I have been twittering about today:

• 00:22 @KenyB Eek, we need to look online for the latest Desperate Housewives ep. Thanks for reminding me, inadvertently! :-) #
• 00:24 @clarekrmiller Your galoshes: where did you get them? They sound pretty! :-) #
• 01:51 Window open: steady rain, mournful train whistle in the distance. Crocheting now, bed soon. #
• 08:41 @clarekrmiller Oh! I'd never heard of that. I googled and found it's something like a Sam's Club? Anyway, they sound neat! :-) #

• 12:07 @FLNonficwriter Pretty! Springtime is coming! #

• 15:28 Been working on ::mumble mumble:: surprise. Need to get some lunch now, though. #
• 15:29 @FLNonficwriter Neat! That's one of the those fancy bookmarks, isn't it? I'm going to be carrying washcloths to crochet with me. :-) #
• 15:39 @ricksanchezcnn uh...don't you mean president in 2012?? Please don't hurry the election! #
• 22:49 Did *not* get enough sleep last night, nor get a nap today. Going to bed *now*. Tired tired tired. 'Night all. #
