The Bright Side.

Cue Monty Python music. Actually I’ve had a wonderful weekend. Both of Shawn’s shows went well. Saturday I met a slew of new knit bloggers and had a grand time. I had to leave early – the greasy food, sun, and a really bad folk singer all banded together to unsettle my stomach something fierce. I turned the heel on Wyvern. Then tonight I cooked up a storm. In the process though, I managed to back up the kitchen sink. I had forgotten my roommate’s warning that our garbage disposal can’t handle even one potato peel. Back-story, since we’ve moved in to this new place the garbage disposal went out, we’re on our third washing machine, and our second stove. I swear it’s nothing we’re doing! But come the third washing machine the landlord was convinced we were overstuffing it. (We aren’t!) There was a bit of an altercation, but we smoothed it over and he did get us a new machine. So when I killed the garbage disposal, the last thing I wanted to do was call him. I groaned and contemplated calling a plumber. I did not want the landlord to have any fuel against us. The bright side? Now I know how to clear out a clogged kitchen sink pipe. And really, it’s so not a big deal at all! Go me!

Edited to add more on the knit gathering: I didn’t circulate much, but I did get to talk to Julia and Meg and the blogless Snowden and Nancy.

Atendees included, but were not limited to:

Angie from I Stalk Knitters, Chris from skittermagoo!, Amy from Isaac Kniticus, Julia from Yarnmaven, Meg from wine me up, Caro from splityarn, Kristin from Yarn & Order, Jo from Half a Sheep, and Nanc from toys are good food. Kittens tempted us to take them home. Pictures were taken (though not by me). Much fun was had by all.
