Brrr

I don't think my doing this will have the same effect as my father would, but I'll give it a try.

*stern look at weather*

I am very, very disappointed in you.

Last night, mckitterick and I got to see just a bit over the first quarter of the eclipse. That is, we got to see it get a little bit over halfway dark, and just barely starting to turn orange, before clouds rolled in. By the time the moon was in full eclipse, we had total cloud cover and couldn't see anything at all. Very sad.

mckitterick did get out the telescope, though, so what we did see we saw right proper. By sheer luck, I happened to look into the eyepiece just as a small private plane flew in front of the moon. I happened so fast I barely registered what I'd seen, but wow! Very cool. I wound up doing jumping jacks and jogging in place to stay warm. Brrr.

And the continuing yuckiness *glares at weather* *weather remains unswayed* probably means that my lovely evening plans with bestill are cancelled, too.

I wore The Vest to work today and have already learned a valuable lesson. My office is Too Cold for anything with less coverage than a full sweater over a long-sleeved undershirt. I'm absolutely freezing. I had to put my cardigan on over the vest. Which totally ruins the effect. Alas. But I wore it! It's lovely.


This means, however, that while I won't stop working on the vest I started last night, I'm definitely going to get started on that long-sleeved cardigan/jacket--pronto.

mRRRRROW~!!!

J wants me to have one like it. He loves it. And so do I. Can I borrow the pattern? Or maybe I should try yours on first, since we're often so dissimilar in clothing fit. *sigh*

Where that hell is Rand when we need him? He was always good with the weather changing.

I got one lil crappy pic of the eclipse. But I'm happy I got one.

Hm. You know, this might fit you a lot better than it fits me. It's very straight through the waist and hips and I've got some fitting problems that I would like to fix should I ever make it again. Why don't you come over and try it on sometime. If you love it, just buy me another skein of the boucle. I might have to change out the buttons, though. I love these buttons a lot.

Remind me Thursday. Too bad you can't wear blues, I'd trade you the Dragonfly. The problem will most likely be the shoulders/rib area. We're very different there also, but that style.. well, we'll try it and see.
