saturday ALIAS marathon.

Greetings from the land of sickness. All I have done all day is cough up my lungs which, in turn, has given me a righteous headache. The only thing I have accomplished today was finish one hat order and started another one. The porch and sidewalk were sweeped as well, but that took all of my energy. And all the while, the whole first season of ALIAS on DVD was (and still is) playing on the boob tube. I'm not missing anything by typing this-in fact, I've watched them so many times, I think I can recite the dialogue verbatim. Sydney Bristow can wait while I empty my brain. After my hands were too cramped to knit anymore, I went through some old emails on my computer and found one about food from foreign countries, hence, the Big Nuts candy bar pic. There were some other funny ones, but I'll save those for another day.

One more week and the QEKNIT site will be completely revamped. Totally new look, alot less complicated and more cool stuff on there. We have enough orders to keep us busy through Christmas and hopefully we'll have alot of extra spending money to take to Europe. The wooden shoes are calling my name all the way from the Netherlands. And the British Museum is just waiting for me to drop some pounds on some crazy souvenirs in London. I just hope that Platform 9 3/4 is open at King's Cross when we get there. Call me a geek, big kid, dumbass or whatever for going Harry Potter on everyone's ass, but I don't care. Besides, we're only doing a few things pertaining to HP on this trip. The other stuff is strictly historical-Big Ben, The London Bridge, Stonehenge, Windsor Palace and all the oldest pubs we can get into. Hit up Ronnie Scott's (if we can get in), maybe shop on Portobello Road at the markets. Someday, I'll travel to Ireland and Scotland to look up some kilts or join the IRA- but for now, my money is spent.

Back to the needles. Have a well rested weekend before you head back to work on Monday. I'm over and out.
