Wow. I'm In A Good Mood.

The meds have kicked in, apparently. And my upcoming trip to France is kind of organized. All I need is a train ticket and a set of wheels at my destination. And I have new kitty shoes, and a new purse, and a couple of tiny new hoops for my ears, and one or two other new items (see one of them here).

But life is not all about material goods, no way.

Allan and I have a couple of new friends that we met at Radio Paradise: local people who are VERY cool. We've been out with them a few times in the past couple of weeks. It's great to expand your horizons, and I really feel that A. is a kindred spirit.

And then there's the knitting. You can see my creation here; I have decided that I need to cast on some more stitches and start another practice swatch. My goal is to become dexterous enough to knit with ease. But, hehe, I'll never be really dexterous, because I'm sinister. I kill me.

I'm so out of practice with blogging; I don't know how to write a coherent post anymore. Forgive my blathering. It feels good to want to blather, though. It's been a long time.

I love the way you blather me.

[sandra]

Blathering is underrated! Blather on!

[Melissa]

I've finally found the right combo of meds that are working, and actually was writing a post about that tonight. It feels good. As am I am sure it does for you do.

Sinister. As in gauche? Left handed? I'm glad you are feeling good about life and relationships. I would give myself a pas mal on that.

[Alison]

Yes, sinister as in gauche and left-handed. :-)

[sizzle]

hey, i'm just happy to hear you're in a good mood. :)

[Catheroo]

Welcome back. I'm glad to see you :-)

[token]

I think about it, but then I don't do it. I'm still so tired, yet plugging along. Have a good trip. I'll be thinking of you!

[Elisabeth]

Sinister - Haha, a lefty! Made me think right away of the Belle and Sebastian song "If you're feeling sinister." No real connection, except for the word "sinister."

Glad you're feeling better. I love that sign you found in the knitting store. I want one!

[Denise]

You know that I, your fellow Grammar/Spelling Nazi and Vocabulary Lover, absolutely ADORED the "sinister" reference. It kinda made my morning. ;-)

[Katherine]

Glad things are looking up, even if life isn't all about material goods those kitty shoes and knitting thing are damn good purchases!

[heath]

Good for you!! I hope you like knitting as much as I do! I have to say, though, I hate wooden needles. Metal are much smoother/faster/shinier/better. And you have to get big ones. It's much more satisfying!
Bon Voyage en France! Dit bonjour pour moi - le pays me manque un peu.

YAY! I love knitting! And it's a good way of keeping my workaholic self away from the computer when I hit the house. ;-)

Have fun with it!

[Calista]

I am sinister also ;-) and knitting proved to be a little interesting for me, but they have loads of instruction books with the lefty side planned out in detail. I still can crochet much better than I knit.

[rebecca]

YAY!!

[ALY]

I'm just so glad you feel good! And blathering or not, your wonderful mood came through in your post, which certainly cheered me up.
Happy Friday!

[cassie-b]

Have a wonderful trip. And don't forget to take your knitting.

It's fun to knit with multi colored yarns.

How lovely to see you being happy and witty here again! Yay, hooray!

Do you remember the cartoon "underdog"? The villain was "simon Bar Sinister", and it was a heraldry reference. On a family coat of arms, a bar dexter (bottom on the right) meant a legitimate heir. A bar sinister (bottom on the left) meant a bastard. Proof positive that old cartoons weren't just for the kiddies.

I want to learn to knit!

Love the kitty shoes. Soooo cute.
