Since I do have gauge issues with crochet, it's not as wide as I was hoping for, but it's still an appropriate size.
You can also see the next block for the Leisure Arts Sampler in the picture. 2" to go on that one.
For anyone who missed the announcement on MTV last night for the Xbox 360, I Tivo'd it. You're welcomed to come over and watch it. Or you could just read all about it here. It's pushing game consoles to more of a multimedia center... not just for games. I will say that I'm not really interested in the game titles that have been announced for launch. I'm willing to bet more will be added.

I've been thinking about this a lot and part of my problem is that I don't want to be any of those things. Even a painter (which I went to college to be). I guess I just want to be a knitter or a gamer, or a housewife. Or even better: I just want to be Cindy. I realize that that isn't very acceptable today. Women are supposed to want it all, and quite frankly, I don't want any of it. I don't want children, I don't want a career, or even a job. I'm happy being just Cindy. No "thing" describes or even defines who I am. I'm just me. And I like it that way.
So I've spent several days thinking about what I would do if I had chosen any of those careers, and quite frankly, I don't know. So here's my smart assed answers:
If I could be a musician: I would have to practice more.
If I could be a painter: I would have someone else clean my brushes (and a side note to Dan Horne, a professor from college: I would also leave those brushes in my turpentine... so there).
If I could be a gardener: I would have a staff to take care of them for me (just like Martha Stewart!)
If I could be a chef: I would have to have someone clean up after me (I'm a messy cook)
If I could be a world famous blogger: you mean I'm not? damn and I thought everyone read my blog....
So it looks like I have no plans on changing the world. I just want someone to clean up after me. Hmmmm. While we're at it, can we get someone else to vacuum the dog hair in my house?

It was a long day yesterday. A little road work on our street made getting to and from the grocery store a challenge, then of course the dogs had to try to scare off the huge pieces of road work equipment. I think they think it worked (as they did eventually leave), but it stressed them out that every car that drove by got a warning bark. Made for one very long day. Finally, some rest:

In the example of how I live a sad and pathetic life: For the last couple of days I keep trying to remember why May 12 is stuck in my head. Do I have an appointment that I forgot about? Someone's birthday that I need to get a card out? The date is important, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was. Until yesterday. Xbox will be announcing it's new console on the 12. Now that's sad.
Further proof of my sad and pathetic life:
Carissa tagged me, so tune it tomorrow for my answers.
Oh did I also mention that my hard drive crashed on Thursday? Don't worry, Matt was able to recover it. We also got a nice clean backup just in case it happens again and we can't recover (if I can't boot in safe mode: I panic.... but my hero got it fixed for me).
So between feeling under the weather, having a wonky computer (which means no game playing until everything is fixed, updated and checked), I decided that I needed a new project. Specifically an afghan (being sick I'm sure made me think of snuggling under an afghan). However, I was a good girl and didn't start a new afghan. I pulled out my Leisure Arts Sampler Afghan and got a few more blocks done.
I have started the next block and I'm about halfway thru it. I did mostly simple, easily memorized blocks, but I think I'll do a more complex one for the next one. Just to keep it interesting.
I also continued working on Matt's Cable O's Vest. I've started the armhole shaping and should get all the decreases done today. Then it's just straight pattern stitch until the shoulder shaping. It's a really lovely vest and Matt's keeping me motivated to work on it (positive re-inforcement does wonders....)
