b. is very good at photo stuff, and getting better. he took some amazing pics of the kids the other night. every day i think i should have my camera with me and i haven't managed to do that.

so much drama lately. it's absolutely overwhelming. (for anyone thinking 'oh my god what happened' - don't panic - it's not mine, but it's everywhere and wrapped around me like a wet wool blanket.)

i like to knit, you've probably figured that out by now. but i can gauge my stress level by how badly i crave a comfy chair by the window for six or eight uninterrupted hours of knitting. getting out of town into the trees would be really wonderful beyond words as well, but we're without the rolling party bus right now. so sad. i really need a break.

the good thing is that i'm a lot more motivated when i'm busy, so overall things get done. we finally got on one cell phone plan and i no longer have any connection with at&t wireless. how sweet is that. vonage or lingo is next.

everyone is fine. pain levels are down, i just want some quality time with B. he is my rock.
