Are you right-brained or left-brained? According to the spinny dancer, I am left-brained. EXCESSIVELY LEFT-BRAINED. I been focusing on that thing for five minutes and for the life of me, I can’t even imagine how you’d begin to see her turning the other way. (I wonder if this has some correlation with my geek score below…?) (Link courtesy of Danielle.)
I’ve been slacking off on the first week of the Southern Summer of Socks, mostly because of all the babies y’all keep having! As previously mentioned, my cousin Tony and his wife Molly just welcomed their daughter, Bailey, into the world. As this is the first GIRL I’ve had the opportunity to knit for, I jumped at the chance to pull out my pink yarn. I was gifted some glorious hot pink Manos del Uruguay Cotton Stria by my Secret Pal last June, and I decided it was just begging to become a Baby Surprise Jacket. I had just enough to squeak it out. I also found the most perfect big pink button in my button box:

cursing all these stupid invites and notifications. Seriously, guys, knock it off!
Knitted Skull Tights. Oh man, imagine if I entered those in the Easter Show next year! HA!
So… I just finished interviewing with two more people at the Company-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, and I feel like it went really well! I was relatively confident since I figured that they wouldn’t have invited me back if they didn’t like me. I gave the HR chick the low-down on the house situation (basically, the mortgage company doesn’t like it if you change jobs before settlement, so I can’t start for several more weeks) and they were really cool with that. I’m excited!
Oh, and I got to ride in an elevator with a bunch of guys from YouTube, who pretty much define the term “scruffy lookin’ nerf herder.”
See? I told you it looks like Vegas. What a waste of money and electricity! None of the shops around it are even open at night.
