I love Knitting Help. They have lots of good videos.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And the 10th Circuit Court refused to grant a stay to stop the same sex marriages in Utah. Party on!
Next step--which our lovely governor is preparing--is to ask SCOTUS for a stay--and our representing judge on SCOTUS is Sotomayor. Don't look good for the fundies.
At last check, this news has not been posted on the LDS-church-owned media outlets. Heh.

Holy shit. Karma is real.

Nothing like a little surprise communion at the children's service of your parents (used to be very laid back, certainly not comunion at a kids service, methodist) church.
Except of course if your parent convinces your child to go up and partake. Without consulting you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Sue -- sorry about the job.
Have successfully completed my big parts of Christmas! The whole family came over, including my newest cousin, who is amazing, obviously. We did hors d'oeuvres and presents in my apartment, and dinner in my parents', just like always, except of course it used to be my grandmother's. Somehow being in here with everyone and all the presents made it feel like my grandmother's place again. It was nice, though! Then singing at church, which more than one person said was our best ever, which is nice to hear. Tomorrow will be more low-key with mostly just us and a few friends here and there.

Oh! But my mother just said, "We aren't going to have breakfast together tomorrow, are we?" ON CHRISTMAS?? Of course we are! And you're going to make a strata and Christmas Scones! Just because I live downstairs doesn't mean we aren't going to have Christmas breakfast together!! Sheesh. (I did actually say all of that....)

Jesse that sounds like a really nice evening.
I'm not bothered by a church changing its rituals as much as I am by HPF taking part in one when she's not part of that community and doesn't know what it's all about. And neither Tom or I were consulted. I'm just stompy. The rest of the service was nice.

Jesse, that sounds really lovely
It's been ages since I put together a Lego set competitively, my feet are numb. (Boys get to open one present Xmas eve. Both ended up with Legos, dad-Josh was hunting down some paperwork for close.)

Yeah, that's something you'd think the parent would be consulted about.
Pies are finished and cooling. We shall see.
