New Socks - and Stuff

Not that I didn't already have enough socks on the needles already, but
I was in the mood to start a new simple pair after finishing my state
fair project. I grabbed a random ball from my cotton-wool blend stash,
and so far I'm loving the colors.

By the way, I'm typing this post on my new Sidekick 2008 phone, and the
attached pictures are from its camera. While still not the quality I'd
get on my Canon Powershot, they should be improved over the lower-res
camera that was in my old Sidekick 3. I've mentioned my love for these
phones before, and the new model is more of the same goodness, only a
little better. By the way, if anyone is interested in trying out a
Sidekick 3, I've got one for sale cheap - if you use T-Mobile and are
willing to sign up for the data plan, then it's pretty slick.

I'm including two more photos - one the scene from this morning when I
came out of the shower - the girls cuddled together in Julie's bed. The
other is Sophie petting the neighborhood cat Pip, who she claims is her
own. Truthfully, he was once a stray and one of the neighbors (not one
of the regular cast of characters, but a good one just the same) took
him in, so he roams the neighborhood in good weather but is well fed and
cared for and has a loving home when he wants to be in. He's a very
friendly animal, and generally well-loved except when he brings over a
dead bunny to show off or gets himself trapped in a garage and makes a
mess.

I apologize for what I'm sure is going to be another poorly-formatted
post. Something happens in the translation when I use Blogger's e-mail
interface. Still, I figure this has to be better than no update at
all...

Yay, socks! Sometimes it's good to just do a mindless thing. Congrats on finishing your fair stuff. I just got mine back from the county fair, and now I'm trying to finish up some more things for the state fair. Cascade is sponsoring a class their this year, and the prizes are... Cascade yarn! How can you go wrong there, seriously? I'm trying to enter 3 things. Good luck with yours!

I hope your entries do well. I'm planning for next year, just couldn't get the item done in time for this year.

Your neighborhood cat looks just like my cat Nehemiah, who was also a neighborhood cat until we took him in.
