Internet woes and suchlike
So yeah, my Internet at home has been down 4 times in the past week and a half. Not happy! One of these times was during an outage at work so I had to get someone else to cover. Yeah that was a bad weekend all round. A couple of us spent the whole weekend on the issue tearing our hair out to figure it out ’since the network was fine’ and come Monday morning someone who didn’t get called over the weekend solved it in 2 seconds…it was the network. Um yeah…I want my weekend back.
Anywho….
My team at work went to see Iron Man today, that was pretty good. I enjoyed the movie and getting a chance to get out of the office a bit and hang with the team. We also have another reorg coming, but this time it does not affect us much at all and should be helpful all round. For those who recall the deal with Ma-Bell and the Baby-Bells….and how they all seem to be reforming…yeah my work is kinda like that. Hys-ter-i-cal.
I also saw Sweeney Todd at Gammage a couple weeks back. The evening before the above mentioned networking work issue from H E double-hockey-sticks. It was a great show and very interesting how they used the one set throughout. Now I need to see the movie.
On the crafty front, next weekend Candace and I are taking a sock class to celebrate my birthday. Woot! I am getting the hang of knitting but it still is much more scary for me than crochet.
I did also get another doll, this time another Dal. So at 4 Blythes and 2 Dal’s I think I am done with my collection. I did also do something that further shows how deep my insanity has gone…I took the dolls out of a bookcase in my sewing room and put them in the ‘extra room’. It at least got me to clean that room. But it is totally crazy that I have so many shelves for them now. I am going to craft little 1:6 scale rooms. I had wanted to do smaller scale miniatures long ago when we were gong to be making a train set but since that never happened at least now I get to put those ideas to use in a larger way.
Also, some of my new bags have hit the This is Blythe shop so do go over and check that out. I am still doing ones for my Etsy shop as well but have been taking it a little slow so I don’t burn out.
That’s really about it as far as an update goes. I was going to write up some thing yesterday about my dad since May 1st was the 15th anniversary of his passing, but as I started out this post…my Internet was down. So now I have lost the steam on that and worked through some of the annual sadness that comes will counting the number of years that I have not had him here and all the events he has missed.
