I’ve been waiting patiently for my laptop’s battery to recharge. I’ve been waiting for three whole days. This laptop is 3 months old. That’s it. WTF, mate, WTF? I got on the phone with tech support last night and talked with a guy named Vicki while I’m pretty sure was Indian (India Indian, not Native American) and we stumbled around trying to fix this without relaly knowing what each other was saying. Very nice guy. Loaded some newer version of a "BIOS" on my computer. Whatever that is, it was supposed to fix my battery problem. Yeah, not so much. So, he is going to be calling me probably tomorrow to check up on the battery situation and I’ll be able to tell him that it’s not working out. Which means they may end up having to replace my battery. Arg.

Knitting wise, I wish I had pictures for you and I do, but not on my computer yet. Why, you may ask? Because I’m a lazy bum. They’re not even all that impressive either. On the baby sweaters and this Knitting World Cup, I’ve represented America well. I followed in their footsteps. I lost. But I’m baking brownies with cinnamon. So I win! On the sweaters, I’ve got two backs, one and a half pieces of three total front pieces and no sleeves. So I have one and a half front pieces and two sleeves to go. That’s not too bad considering both babies are due in September. Right??

I also started swatching for my Mom’s Grannie Smith Cardigan. Did I tell y’all what she did? She saw the cardigan on here and liked it so much she went out and bought the pattern. She actually searched and bargain shopped the kidsilk haze (and got a killer deal. She bought at $10/ball. I’ve seen it as high at $15. Way to go Mom!) and bought the amount needed + one extra and get this. She’s not a knitter. So she emails me to tell me that I need to go buy the yarn for her and gives me all her info and tells me that I will need to knit this up for her and does she need to get anything else for me to make the sweater besides buttons. The woman has got cojones. I don’t know any knitter whose family actually tells them to knit something up for them. Asks them to, yes. Tells them to? No. Cojones. So what do I do? Do I retrain her and instruct her in the art of wheedling a knitter into knitting for her? Nope. I email her back to let her know that I"ll start the sweater as soon as I finish the baby sweaters.

But I’m baking! I have completed cinnamon brownies. Very yummy. I swear I’ll post pictures soon. How about I leave you with a joke instead!

What lies on the ocean and twitches?
