The cable person came today — the problem still is not resolved. argh!! It seems that this person’ field of expertise is from the cable box to the house – the problem is in the wiring on the street and that would fall into another field of study. They have promised to have it all taken care of ‘no later than noon tomorrow’. We have had intermittent phone & cable service throughout the day.

I have taken advantage of one such moment just now to read emails & blogs. Just as I was settling in I was greeted by this:

This is three of the four poochies. Please bear in mind that a picture is a still life — this photo was snapped amid some raucous yipping and panting – together, they have raised the humidity level in the office by 5%. Everyday I feed them dinner at 4:30. Without fail, they begin harassing me around 3:30. Of course, the Pug is their ringleader. Despite her girth, she is convinced that I might starve them to death. So I must away and feed the hungry beasties ….. before they turn their awesome fangs on me!

literally — cable thread!! My internet connection comes and goes – it is tormenting me. Hopefully this will all be resolved by this afternoon. So let me get to it before my fickle cable decides it has had enough:

1. White Lies top is ripped

2. New Swatch is hanging to dry

3. Seaming of The Vest today

4. In addition to blisters, now my back is sore from too much yard work

5. College meeting with C’s guidance counselor this afternoon – expected sadness & melancholy

The votes are in! I will rip it. I knew I should rip it, even before I posted that entry. I just needed to hear other people tell me! : ) In the comments, Jessica sent along a great link for a short row tutorial, with pictures! Check it out – it is very helpful! So it is off to the frog pond!

In other news, our cable is acting up. This is disastrous news – not only is my computer internet connection affected, but also my phone!! (we have Optimum Voice) It is only through some weird glitch that I am able to post this entry! Anyone who knows me can appreciate how this turn of events will cripple me! I am addicted to both my phone and the computer!! They are sending someone tomorrow to check the line. pray for me.
