A little Friday (the 13th!) fun

Hee hee, I got tagged!

1. What were you doing ten years ago?
It's funny to think that exactly 10 years ago today I was recovering from jetlag and exploring London. Guess it's time to renew my passport! I would never have guessed then how my life would turn out 10 years later.

2. What are five things on your to-do list?
Hmmm. Some weeks I feel like I have a to-do list, but not really right now. I guess I should do the following: (1) I've got to get knitting on a cami I put down because it was getting complicated.
(2) I need to return some library books by tomorrow. (3) I should go clean up the bathroom (guests coming). (4) I should mail a CD of photos to my cousin Shelley, and another one to my friend Kristi. (5) Oh yeah, I need to finish up that sock pattern.

3. Where have you lived?
Suburban Portland; then Eugene, OR; then Washington, D.C.; then Sacramento, CA; then Bend, OR; then Portland. I have come home to roost.

4. What would you do if you were a billionaire?
Frak, what wouldn't I do if I were a billionaire?!? Besides the obvious stuff, I would make sure my husband got a big, bright art studio - on the five acres of beautiful wooded property located 5 minutes from downtown that I would buy with my billions. And, yes, acres of wooded property available 5 minutes from downtown is completely unrealistic, but so is me being a billionaire. And, I would buy my dad a pony. (Sorry, inside joke.)

Since I would hate to single anyone out, consider yourself tagged if you feel like it. If you don't have a blog (you should get one, but also) you can put it in the comments.

At some point, I promise

Oy. I know, it's been almost a couple of weeks since the last post. All but one project on the needles at this point is unbloggable. The sock pattern is ready, but the socks have no name and I haven't been able to get decent pictures (stupid Portland weather).

The only bloggable project right now is Venezia and I've made negative progress on it. There is nothing in the pattern that explicitly (at least I don't think so) says to purl the seam stitch with both yarns, but I think you are supposed to and I was only using the main color. I ripped it back to the cuff and in so doing, realized I had started on the wrong row of the colorwork pattern anyhow - I used the starting row for the smallest size and I'm making the second smallest size. So it was good that I frogged, but it was a setback.

I hope to have something more entertaining to report sometime soon.
