Distraction

I had an exceptionally awful day.  That had some really awesome moments.  My brain is racing, but I’m exhausted emotionally.  I can’t quite bring myself to step away from the computer due to a task I took on, but one can only refresh a screen so many times without going insane.  So, I visited a couple blogs that I’ve been behind on lately and found this on D’s page.  Figured it might be good for a few minutes down time.

 

 

If you’re on my friends list, I want to know 36 things about you. I don’t care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine… you’re on my list, so I want to know you better!

Post on your journal!

My response to D:

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship?  Yes.  Many.  None are romantic, thankfully.
02) What was your dream growing up?  To be an author.
03) What talent do you wish you had?  Mind-reading?
04) If I bought you a drink what would it be?  Tonight, I need rum.  Lots of rum.

06) What was the last book you read?  The Amber Spyglass.
07) What zodiac sign are you?  Aquarius.  All the way.
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.  Both ear lobes, both tragus (traguses?  tragusi?), left helix.  6 tattoos, 2 being removed.
09) Worst Habit?  My amazing ability to hermit.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?  Since it is unlikely that I’d have the Weenie Wagon, I could always give you a tow.  ::grin::
11) What is your favorite sport?  Birth.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?  Ask me on a day that someone I care about didn’t die.

Really?

I can’t believe it has been nearly 2 months since I’ve updated!

I’ve been a busy girl, what can I say?

New full-time job, which I mostly enjoy (how many people stright outta college have a boss that earnestly asks, “What is your passion?  What do you want to do?  Tell me because I want to support you!”????)

A couple trips West.  LA and Vegas.  Going back to LA in a couple weeks, San Francisco in November, and I’m hoping to make it out to NOLA for a long weekend and maybe NYC.

Kid started school, then changed schools.  We’re much happier now.

I finished a really cool class and have since started a couple more that aren’t so cool, but, if I take them as opposed to testing out then I can put off paying interest on my student loans a while longer.

Debating working on a Master’s.

I want to move.  Bad.  I’ve got a serious itch to get.out.of.here.  But, I’m here for at least a year.

We also have babies!

 

How many do you want?

Not much to report in crafy news.  I’ve been a little too busy for that.  But I’ve done a bit of work on some long-term projects. 

I did find this in some O-Wool Balance I was working with… How cool is that!?!

Oh, and don’t hate me, but…

Oh!  I did make a hat for my acupuncturist’s baby girl.  Also O-Wool Balance.  Lot that yarn.

I also got a very cool gift from someone very special to me.

If you didn’t hate me enough for the Wollmeise, hopefully you can keep your head due to the lovely Sundara Silk I got my hands on…  Just gorgeous.

Well, that’s about it.  I haven’t done justice to anything at all, but, well, I wanted to catch up so I can do better from here on out.

And remember:  What happens in Vegas eventually airs on NBC!  Tune in to NBC on 12/28 to see what I was up to!

Peace Soup

I’ve been blogging for several years.  About my life, about…  Everything.  I recently took down my personal blog due to the pernicious behaviour of someone who got his/her hands on my password.  Not worth it.  But I still felt the need to chronicle the less personal aspects of my life.  You know, for posterity.

So, a little about me.

My name is Lynlee.  I’m a single mama of an almost 7 year old, quite precocious, darling daughter.  I just graduated college with a Bachelor of Arts and landed myself job that I am hoping is going to be a pretty interesting and successful endeavor.  I’ve been a gestational surrogate 3 times.  I’ve delivered 4 children and created 3 new families (all lead by gay daddies whom I adore).  I’m always happy to talk about surrogacy so if you’re interested, please leave a comment and I’ll email you.  In my spare time, I crochet, knit, read, and sometimes watch a little tube (um, posting in the 30 minutes before the next episode of Battlestar Galactica.  Wee!).  I just signed up for Netflix and have 85 disks queued.  I’m way behind on my movies ever since I learned to loop thee yarns, but I have a lot of simple projects coming up so I figure I can catch up on some movies. 

Things I love:  Laughing.  Hummus.  Fair trade.  Stuart Townsend (totally underrated – have you seen his abs?).  Browncoats.  Ben and Jerry.  Cotton yarn.  Norway.  Growing new humans.  RENT.  Documentaries.  Irish music.  Traveling.  Smart, open-minded individuals.  Tori Amos.  Parallel parking.  Learning.  A couple drinks with good people.  Acceptance.

Welcome to my new blog.  I hope you will all pour a cup of coffee, grab a seat, pull out your hooks and needles, and stay for a while.
