Rally time!

My mother in law changed her mind and decided that she wanted to go to the Obama rally so I went with her. The turnout was crazy. This only makes sense if you are familiar with Cleveland, but the lines were from the Keybank building down to Gund Arena at Tower City. This was more people than would ever fit in the venue, so they shunted the rest off across Lakeside which is where we were. You could still kind of see, but they did have a big screen up to let us see. It was crowded, and far away from Obama, rainy, and we were getting the stink eye from the people in nicer cars than I can afford who were leaving the Browns game, but it was still awesome. I'm glad I went.

Early voting achieved, now I'm contemplating taking the day off on Wednesday so I can stay up and watch the election unfold. I may or may not. I still remember thinking all was right with the world when I went to sleep the night of the previous presidential election and then waking up to wrongness in the morning. I really don't want a repeat.

Baby camo blanket

Finally finished the baby afghan for my coworker. Bernat camo yarn in the baby camo colorway. Turned out nice. The tan is less pronounced in reality, I promise :)

There's this old wives' tale that the baby won't come until the knitting is done. I had to take pity on her.

But yay! It's done! I can move on :)

Garden of Eden

It's the Garden of Eden for you!

Well, this is about as cozy and simple as life can get. We hope you like it here. The real estate is not well developed, but the garden is top-flight.

Your answers indicate that you basically want to just coast through life. You don't want any trouble, and you don't want any special privileges either. That's fine with us. It's entirely possible to live a pleasant life without trouble or strife, and Eden is the perfect spot for it, as long as you don't... well...

Just try to behave better than the previous tenants. Evictions can be rough.

Camo time!

I finally found the baby camo I was looking for to make the baby afghan for my coworker. Woot! Now all I have to do is make the blankie. I started it, but I've been too tired/too busy to work on it much. Maybe I'll get to do some more tonight. That would be nice :)

And maybe I'll actually, update lol.

More meme :)

You Are a Visionary Soul

You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings. You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer. Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Waves hi and adds yet another meme, lol

Your result for The Color Code Test...

Color Code: BLUE: The Social Butterfly

Here is the basics: For a more in depth analysis, I suggest you look up the Color Code, and take a more intensive test.

BLUE MOTIVE: Intimacy

BLUE NEEDS: To be good (morally), To be understood, To be appreciated, Acceptance.

BLUE WANTS: To reveal insecurities, Quality, Autonomy, Secuirity.

SUMMARY: Blues are motivated by altruism. They love to do nice things for others. they look for opportunites to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. selflessness rather than selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Blues seek intimacy. They want to be loved and to love. A true blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Blues crave being understood. They are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. Blues may have thier hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love. Blues are directed by a strong moral conscience. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgements, and their leisure time. A blue would rather lose than cheat. Ethically, blues are people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.

Don't fear the seaming ...

Yay! Bear is done. Forgetting to take the brown to start knitting another one was kind of an impetus to finish.

It turned out cuter than I thought but this was still a lot a practice bear. Maybe it's because I'm really not used to seaming (I've avoided it for years, rectangles and rounds for me, woohoo!). I'll see how it goes for the next one. I need to find a thicker yarn to do the face. She really does have a smile on their. Then again, taking pics at midnight ... yeah.

So huzzah for the bear! :)
