Where's the knitting?

The last two posts are a bit of a hint as to where most of my recent time has gone. However there has been knitting. It is just the photo taking in the daylight hours that is lacking. So, as a teaser, I will promise to eventually share photos of:
-Dark Victory in action
-A hat or two (In fact a brought an Unoriginal hat as part of a Stingy Santa trade and the 18 month old who liked my pretty gift bag put the hat on (it fit nicely) and then wore it for much of the evening. Very cute. If I had remembered my camera you could do more than just imagine that, but oh well.)
-A convertible
- A Mr. Greenjeans, once again demonstrating my love of crazy colors. Still need to get to the yarn shop for yarn for the collar band...
-I'm working on a shrug sort of inspired by a couple other patterns out there
That's all my brain can come up with. Perhaps when I whip out the camera more will be discovered.

Signs You May Be Working Too Hard

You may have eaten today...
You are pretty sure you know what day it is because it says in the corner of the computer.
The writer's strike doesn't seem like so much of a problem.
You have fond memories of this place called the grocery store.
Laundry...isn't it easier to buy new clothes?
You are drinking tepid tea because to get hot tea would mean getting out of the chair.
You discover it rained outside by reading someone else's blog.

It All Makes Sense Now!

My apartment is a wreck. Working fifty to seventy hours a week might have something to do with it. You would think telecommuting would help, but no, it makes it worse. There are no elves or menehune who show up to vacuum and empty the trash. And it turns out eating more meals at home leads to more dishes. (Shocking, I know.)
But I was recently reminded of The Borrowers and it all became clear to me. I must have had some borrowers and all this stuff that seems to accumulate, well, they have apparently decided to return my stuff en mass which is very nice, but there is a truckload of stuff crammed into my apartment. So, please, little borrowers take some of it back. Well, maybe not the yarn. Or the books. Or - maybe I just need the menehune to build me some shelves. Come on, please, guys?
