  I'm hoping I get some work to do this millenium. Everyone is antsy today. People are biting each other in the office next to me. Others are planning weddings (three bands! Three! ) and watching soap operas.
Fridays - why even bother? Me and the little mouse played last night. We're getting to be buddies, although he still enjoys peeing on me. He's just a baby, I think, so I'm not too worried. He's so soft. I got him some bedding which looks like cotton candy and he made a very cozy little bed.
He sleeps in the middle of it and must close up all the entrance holes to it before he settles in for a nap. I can just see the cotton going up and down, up and down with the breath of a little mouse. I love that little guy. I kind of miss Ralph, though. He was so cute and managed to keep me entertained for three days straight. He was a wily little mouse.
Maybe I'll go by the store this weekend to say hello. I will not repurchase him, however, because he's a killer. Penny is very glad that my mom's home. I miss my Peep. I could have used her 70-lb body on my lap last night while I froze during television time. I started my knee socks.
I'm doing a knee sock knit-along, and I would put the cute button here, but a) I can't figure out how and b) that would be a lot of work. They're from the Stitch and Bitch book. I'm using lime green, hot pink, turquoise and a bright sherbet orange. They're made out of baby wool, so they're not really super hot, but they'll be very soft. AND machine-washable. I'm trying to find a large quantity of inexpensive yet soft yarn to make a two-person sized blanket for my big couch.
I only have one-person sized blankets in the living room, and I'm not taking the Gay Pride Blanket off my bed. I don't think I would be able to sleep without it at least near me, if not on me. I found some good stuff on a discount site and it would be about $20 for 10 skeins (an incredible deal), but they require at least a $30 order. Maybe I can find something else I like, but the site just sells those Hobby Lobby yarns, not the good stuff I've gotten used to. And there's really nothing else I'm dying to make, since I have these socks, a pair of Regia socks, some cotton yarn to experiment with and the gorgeous Candy sweater to work on. So I don't know.
Tragedy struck one of my Sim famlies last night. Lizzie Dorfmann, daughter of Alex and Jemina, sister of the newly-born Josie, came down with some horrible coughing disease and died. The grim reaper came and Jemina made a plea for her daughter's life, but the Reaper was like, F-that. So she died and there's a gravestone outside and the whole family cries, like, all the time. So I sold the gravestone. Enough crying.
And their new daughter, Josie, looks like neither one of the parents and is kind of butt-ugly. And the mail person is a girl! And they don't have a milkman!
