Maybe my computer can resist crashing before I post this

Brady is coming to visit tomorrow from the great wild lands of WhereWeUsedToLive. We're excited to see him, and I have about a million things to do including clean my mess of a kitchen. Yesterday I pulled the stove apart and cleaned all the little parts and OhHolyNight the part underneath where all the little bits fall? I don't think it has been cleaned one bit since the oven was purchased. Circa 5 years ago. The thing about me, and dirt, and me and dirt, is that once I know where it is I'm not happy with it or me until it is gone. I can't always clean it right that second, of course. But I know it's there.

Gosh, I've been semi-MIA for so long that my knitting blogs folder in bloglines has over 400 unread blogs now. Boy. I remember when 20 or so was a good day because I knew I'd be entertained; then I discovered Charmed reruns on TNT.

Last week I attended a new knitting group at a LYS. It was absolutely refreshing, and I'll definitely continue attending. Although I got the feeling they were excited I was under age 40.
