A Blog Is Born!

Why am I doing this now? Boredom? Could be. This is certainly helping me to keep my hands busy, when they'd much rather be playing with Klaralund. Oh sure, there's always TiVo to occupy me (The Avengers are always good for fighting boredom...and crime!), but I'm just not in the mood. Apparently what I am in the mood for is exhibitionism. Not that I really think anyone will ever look in my dusty corner of cyberspace (God, does anyone really say cyberspace anymore, besides B-movie writers & "hip" seniors?), but there's always that miniscule modicum of possibility.



So, in respect of that possibility, I'll do the friendly thing & introduce myself, just this once, in case anyone should ever care to look.



Me: Gina

I work in a local (Richmond, VA) library, full-time, benefits & everything.

I am engaged to a man who is too deluded to realize he is too good for me & that I am just a cruel joke that life thought he would've gotten by now.

I am the very happy co-owner of 3 cats (Aleister, Betty & Cole...not named alphabetically on purpose, really) & 1 dog (Dharma, who was named alpha on purpose).

I live a mostly boring, but generally pleasant life in a town I was not born or raised in, but somedays fear I will be laid to rest in.

I like most things Japanese, French & British.

I am currently losing a staring contest with 30...it wins in October.

I like to knit, I admit it. It currently rules my life, but who knows what'll come up next? I'm ADD like that.

Anything else?

Nope, that covers the essentials, I think.



Well, my day was good. Minimum amount of stupid patrons.



Got a little swatching done for Klaralund. Definitely going to go with the size #10 needles. I am really enjoying the #84 colorway of the Noro Silk Garden. I think it'll be ok to wear against my skin, but if the V-neck is a bit low, I'll probably wear a tank or something under it anyway. Not that I'm so very prudish, more like I have a tendency towards being blemished on my breastbone area & that kind of ruins the lovely effect of the sweater. Dontcha think?



Well, that's more than I thought I'd spout off with for the first time. Good job. Hope I keep this up.
