when, oh, when will i have another fo?

let's see - orangina is actually finished (except for weaving in the ends) but she is too small for me to wear comfortably - i was worried this would happen. what do i do now? most likely i'll rip her out and try again - i've got plenty of yarn leftover. but that won't happen for a while - i need time to get over the disappointment. the scarf for my sis that hasn't been mentioned in forever will probably start up again - maybe even today since her birthday is next week. and then there's the legwarmers. i really should never try to knit lace when i'm trying to pay attention to something else - i think it was a movie. now i seem to be missing a stitch, so i'll have to rip a few rows and try to figure it out. all this disappointment - i just want something easy and fast - i need a hat for fall. i've never knit myself a hat before.

hopefully i'll finally get to take my bike out this weekend. i put pedals on her (obviously not in the pic) and new tape. the boy and i tightened the brakes last weekend. now i just need a rack so i can tie on my milk crate for errands! doesn't she look better?



i've been going to the beach about once a week and i forgot how much i love it. now if only the freakin water wasn't so cold. i really, really miss swimming.
