Bad Blogger Gail

I keep trying to blog, but I just don’t have the energy lately. And I need to get back to all of you who left me such wonderful comments. It really made me feel a lot better.

I move out on July 26th to my fabulous girly girl apartment in Naperville. So, I’ve been packing like crazy. So far, I’ve packed 4 boxes of knitting books, 9 boxes of regular books, and 3 boxes of cookbooks. I probably have another 2 boxes of books left to pack. That just leaves the magazines, which I need to organize. I’ve also got all the everyday dishes packed, my great grandmother’s china, and my crystal. Oh, and the pocket dragons.

So, that leaves other kitchen stuff, the computer, my desks and clothes. Oh, and the bathroom. Plus all the other stuff that randomly appears at 2 am the night before you move. It’s as if random crap from around the neighborhood hears you are moving, and it just all shows up, wanting to be packed.

In happy news, though, I got a kitten! Well, I’ve reserved one. He’s too little to come home, but he’ll be ready by the time I’m moved into my new place.

He’s a total mutt cat, but he managed to inherit the siamese gene that gives kitties blue eyes and their siamese markings. I think he’ll have medium length hair - its hard to tell, since he still has the kitten fuzzies.

Finally, Monica, Lynette, Dee and I were all talking about how we need a web site where people could post designs that we rejected by other magazines. I happen to have the hugest hosting plan ever, so I registered a domain name, and set up a web site - its the Island of Misfit Patterns. Go take a look, and send us your lost, lonely patterns! We’ve already got a few up. They don’t actually need to have been rejected - the scarf pattern of mine was one I just never bothered to send anywhere.

    Oh what I wouldn’t give for a girly apartment. I’d paint every room pink and have laceyness everywhere. Ohh and a kitty too. Definitely a good start to a new life.

    I love the idea for the new website too. I’ll go check it out :)

    I admire your willpower. There’s no way I could get that close to a little kitty without just squishing it on my face.

    The best cats I ever had were mutt/Siamese or 100% Siamese. Looks like you got a good ‘un!

    Best wishes in the new place! Moving sucks, but soon you’ll be able to kick back and relax and enjoy.

    Thinking good thoughts in your direction…

    What a cute kitty!

    I bet he’ll love all the boxes when you unpack at your new place.

    I was going to suggest that maybe you should consider a dachshund in your new apartment, but the kitty looks a lot more manageable……….what a cutie!
    I’m off to the new website to see what wonders were unappreciated by those who purport to know what is good and what is not.

    I can bring you copy paper boxes if you need them. We go through tons at work and they’re a great size for carrrying. I can’t take your moving day off, but I’d be happy to help you pack ahead of time or help you unpack at night. Let me know. BTW - the kitty is absolutely adorable!
