No Camera, No Topic, No Knitting
....no service. Non-sense? Something like that. I just finished twelvish days or so off of work and accomplished NOTHING. It was lovely. Of course now I wish I'd knit more - it's COLD today. Why didn't I finish up my cardigan? other than it's been in the high 70's and why didn't I finish reading Queen Isabella: Treachery, Adultery And Murder in Medieval England over the weekend? Because she's putting me to sleep at night. Treachery, adultery and murder has never been quite so dull. Maybe it's all the minutae.
Oooh, I did manage to knit TWO dishcloths. But then I managed to delete my ENTIRE photo album from Adobe Photoshop file. It must've been duplicated though because the pictures didn't disappear. I think. And I can't find my camera....but I think I left it in the trunk of my car. So you'll have to wait to see the pictures of the groovy yarn stuff that I won from Deb's contest and what La sent me out of the blue. W00t!
raidergirl3 is doing a clever fun little book meme It's Tuesday, Where Are You? (that I found via Book Mine Set.)
Yikes! I hope your pictures are all still there and that you find your camera... You needed some veg time and it sounds like you got it!

You more than deserved days to do nothing! Don't worry about the woulda/coulda/shoulda of life. Just enjoy what you can do now!
Looking forward to your pictures whenever you post them.

Adultery - dull? No wonder I've never tried it. I need excitement in my life!

I was wondering where you were!
I guess sometimes they put things like adultery in the title because the book wouldn't sell otherwise!
Hey, you're reading something by the same guy whose book I'm reading right now!

Vegging out is OK. Vegging out in front of the TV is better! So, where's my run down of things that have happened and what to look forward to?

Sounds like you've been busy to me!

Sounds like a nice long stretch of doing nothing. Plus you won groovy yarn stuff! So do you think Jericho is going to get picked up by another network?

If I lost my photos, I would curl up and die. But, that's just me. :)

Cold...bah! You don't know cold. Sounds like a fun time off to me! (Minus the disappearing photos.)

Sometimes there's no better activity than loafing. It sounds like you needed it.

Hope you still have your photos. I lost some once but found a rescue program for them. It worked!
Must be that rest is what you needed -- or at least a change of pace. Hope your time off was pleasant. And two dishcloths is much progress in some weeks!

OK, so there are no pictures, but still - we're glad you took some well-deserved time off. You time!
OK, that's too bad about the book, it sounded like something completely up my alley.

Carrie- Nothing wrong with a marathon veg session- I do a wonderful cabbage impression.
My choice of reading material has been very disppointing of late.

it's just such a disappointment when treachery, murder and what? adultery? are a bore... what can one count on these days? (hope you find all your photos)

I'm with Marina. There is no rule that you HAVE to knit on your vacation. Just chill and take a well deserved break.
But.... as for the running tv commentary we're used to. I need updates!!! ;)

Sometimes you feel like a veg, sometimes you don't --
either way is fine.

Technology can be more stressful than it is helpful sometimes! I hope it all is well.

12 days without work - sounds like heaven. I'm slowly approaching my own Nirvana - vacation starts May 9th!
I'm trying to remember why I wanted to be an accountant...
Posted by: Cynthia | April 30, 2008 at 03:22 PM
Bliss! I WANT 10 days of NOTHING. I'm jealous.
Posted by: tiphanie | April 30, 2008 at 07:54 PM
Yay for getting absolutely nothing done; quite an accomplishment!
Posted by: Kim | May 01, 2008 at 04:37 PM
I'm so glad you enjoyed your vacation. Sometimes you just need to kick back and veg.
