I’ve always been an erratic blogger. At the beginning, I was like tewtally into it, dude. Then I slowed down, I stopped, I started again slowly, I slowed down even more, stopped and well, I forget how many times I’ve stopped and started. I’m starting again, but as usual make no promises whatsoever. Not that anyone is reading to make promises to, but maybe some day I’ll have a blog buddy or two again.

Biggest show stopper right now is I want to find an efficient way to take, download, and upload pics to the blog. I can’t seem to find the right code in Flicker to paste into my entries and I don’t want to blog from Flickr. I’ll keep playing around with it.

Mainly I want to have some chronicle of what’s going on in our lives. The Boy was born nearly 3 years ago, and in that time I’ve struggled with depression and it seemed like there was never any energy to keep up with this, or do anything really. Lately, I’ve been doing better. A lot better. I find myself with urges to do things that are not accompanied by the thought, “Fuck it, it’s too much work.” Until a few months ago, that was my prevailing attitude. Nowadays, I’ll have an urge or idea, and actually feel jazzed about doing it.

I’d like to write about what I have on my knitting needles, what I’m growing in the garden, what the Boy is up to, what the Rock Star and I are doing, you know…all the usual blog fodder. So yeah, here’s an entry about nothing, unless you count intention. I have intentions, folks. Not big intentions, those almost always disappoint, but little intentions. The smallest really. But they are definitely intentions.

We got back from camping on Sunday (7/22) around 4:00 pm. I picked up my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at 8:00 pm. I finished reading it 29.5 hours later at 1:45 am on Tuesday 7/24. Not all that time was spent reading. I had to put the book down to sleep Sunday night and to work on Monday. I’m tired but very happy, I’m completely satisfied with how it all turned out. I’ve spent my driving time thinking it all over today, and I can’t wait to get the CD version in the mail so I can listen to it. It’s definitely worth a second go.

Go here: http://www.shellykang.com/2007/07/contest.html and make a comment to win a copy of “Victorian Lace Today”. oooooh, I hope I win!!

It’s the weirdest thing…I’ve been trying to blog for the last couple weeks, but the blog software was all wonky and wouldn’t let me post or change the sidebar or do anything at all really. I kept coming back and wasting time trying things out…

Tonight, without any real hope, I tried again…and what the fuck!? It works now! I can make and delete posts. I can edit and delete items in the sidebar. I can blog from Flickr. Woot!!! To bad I’m to tired to do anything else tonight.

I’m gonna knit a bit on my hemp skirt (more on that later) and then go to bed. It’s been a rough day. Rupert (my little white dog) had her teeth cleaned and a couple of them extracted this past Tuesday. This morning when I woke up she was yelping in pain and spent the morning talking to the vets and trying to calm her down. I gave her a pain pill and she started acting normal within an hour, but it was still very, very stressful. The rest of my day looked bleak as I had to take my mom for some medical testing. It didn’t go that badly, though and I even got a little knitting done. So I’m tired. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to post a couple current pics of us and the Boy, plus my many finished knitting objects.
