I am at a point where the whole moving thing gets annoying. I don't want any interruption of my routine anymore. I want the sweetener to be where it is supposed to be when I open the cupboard to prepare my morning coffee for consumption. I don't want to have to open several doors before I find it because yesterday we packed dishes and Rolf moved the stuff we still need around. I took out a dinner plate before I realized I can't use the dinner plate in my hand to sweeten my coffee. I put the sweetener back in its place - a place where it belongs for three more mornings.
'Nuf said.

Poetry in motion
Or so.
That was supposed to be a picture of Anny, whom we got to meet for the first time yesterday. I have more. All of them are flurry. (As if I haven't told you before that the camera is not my friend, being in front or behind the lense doesn't really matter.)
If you want to see some more pictures, go to Montreal Knits and check them out!
Thanks to Nikon coolpix swivel action: Lee Ann and I (yes, she's cute and petite, I am not - petite, that is).
If you have the impression that we enjoyed the meeting you could be right, at least that's what I've read on our group talk afterwards.

A week from today
I'll be rambling about in our new apartment and trying to find everything to put it away or think about where to put everything. Makes sense?
A WEEK! from today. EEEEEEEK. All I want to do is sit down and start a knit marathon, all I should do is packing more boxes. (I promised myself I'd stop with the "should" thing, it doesn't work on me anyhow, and here I go again.)
Anyhoo, all this won't keep me from going to meet other knitters tomorrow. Maybe I'll be complaining a bit about the inconsistency between the "that's what I planned to do" and the "that's what I actually did" - but I can do that in the knowledge that I have secured the most necessary things in life: a new phone number, the cable tv and the internet connection. Everything else is secondary and just lots of work that can be done at 3 a.m. in the morning, if I have to.
I think I made my point.

"And what am I supposed to do? Knit?"*
*Quote from yesterday's new CSI - and the lady wasn't overwhelmed by the prospect. She don't know what she's missing!
I spend my birthday money at amazon.ca last Friday and the order arrived Tuesday, including two knit-related books:
I had wanted the Scarf Style book since it came out - now I am thinking that my timing is a bit off since summer is around the corner... The other bookbookbook is mandatory when you are living in Canada, don't you think?
Wednesday night Véronik and I "crashed" the knit meeting from meetup.com. We figured it would be alright since meetup starts charging (19.95$ US/month for being able to arrange a meeting and have a member list? What are they thinking?) and we can offer the new yahoo group as a good substitute to arrange further meetings. It was very entertaining and we met interesting new people, some of them have already joined "Montreal Knits". Can't wait to see how many will turn up at our next knit-out, the more the merrier!

Help and win - please!
HELP: Julie Demole, a member of our "Montreal knits" group is going to take part in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, a 60 km walk through the neighbourhoods of Montreal. It looks like we have to jump in and pump up the volume a bit, so she reaches the goal of 2000 CAD needed to participate.
Click here to donate your bit and you might WIN something Véronik Avery has knit! To enter the draw just send an e-mail to the address mentioned on on the Montreal Knits blog after donating.
Everyone everywhere who is willing to make a contribution to Julie's effort is welcome to participate and get a chance to win the "Perfect Pie Shawl" from Melanie Falick's "Weekend Knitting".
The shawl is handknit by Vèronik with the original materials as seen in the book.
So, please, if you're as attached to your breasts as I am - literally and figuratively speaking - go, donate what you can to the good cause and enter the contest. I've seen and touched the shawl and say it is well worth whatever you are able to give.
