what is a girl to do?

Posted by sherriknits

Oh my, I have had my nose buried in bookwork all day today.  For the past 2 months, my computer woes have continued and today it finally kind of came to a head.  I could not get my home computer updated because my work computer has no way to get data out that will communicate with my home work computer.  Last month, I was carrying home the work computer to do the work.  This month, I just let myself get way behind because I didn’t want to figure it out.  I finally figured out a way I thought was ingenious (back up the data to a flash drive, put the flash drive in my laptop, burn a cd, put the cd in the home computer and transfer the info)…well, it worked but…the work computer was never updated at the end of last month so I still didn’t have what I needed.  I ended up calling our programmer who took my home computer to his house, updated it and inspected the usb drive that burned up my flash drive last month.  This is a new computer.  He found no problem which leads me to believe it was our hub that did all the damage.  So, that computer sits on my living room floor by the door waiting to be hooked back up so I can do that bookwork.

In the meantime, I spent the entire day wading through my own shop’s bookwork that I have neglected.  I feel close to crazy right now.

So…last night and this morning, I did get in a bit of knitting while my brain was turning at what to do.

The Lucky Lurker sock is coming along.  It’s an easy knit as long as the stitch count is right. 

And I am still considering if I want to knit this sweater.

 The only hard part of this one is that it’s hard to see at night.  I have made a few mistakes in knitting the wrong row, but didn’t get too far so it was easy to frog back.

We went for a little drive yesterday to get some ideas of a wedding location.  We’ve had a few ideas but here was one idea.

I honestly think this one is out of our price range (a ballroom upstairs but they do knock off a lot for having an alcohol-free event).  It’s an hour away so not sure we want to do that but will keep it in mind.  It made for a great Sunday drive and when we were heading home, the sky was beautiful.

It felt like there was going to be a thunderstorm, but we never saw one.

But, what did this girl have to do today to relieve stress?  Shopped for shoes!  Actually, I need new shoes for work and I had seen some I really liked in black and today looked online to see if they came in brown and tada!  They should be here Wed.  If I like them, you’ll see them then.  They will be great for handknit socks!

Ok, back to the grind.  I told hubby I felt like crying I was so tired of this.  He had to go back to work tonight, too. waa waa
