Excuse me miss? There must have been a mistake - I asked to be seated in the No Assholes Section.

Girls' Night Out was derailed by an invasion of youngish males - most were very nice . They really were perfectly okay as a group. I happened to end up sitting with a couple of major, world-class, cartoonish assholes. I won't bore you with details but they were really sad. So I left early but that was no hardship. We must reshape this whole GNO thing to actually get the G part right, or at least limit the male participation to grownups. I'm not a woman who has to have "girls only" social events, but damn, I do like interesting, intelligent men. I outgrew going out to bars and meeting morons when disco was still in. The first time.

Tomorrow night I must bake. I have to bring goodies to the picnic on Saturday, so I can make things I can't eat and palm them off on unsuspecting strangers.

The wrist is still an issue, it twinges and twangs at odd moments. My hand aches at times. It's a flare-up of RSI, I know there's not much to do for it so I'm not freaking out over it, but it's annoying. It won't kill me but I'm thinking that striped pillow will never be finished, since the needle size, yarn and M1 increases conspired to bring this on. Not that this is a great tragedy in the knitting world. It was a way to use stash, I have no emotional attachment.

I'm looking forward to the next few days - staying on the beach in Miami, a picnic, major relaxation. I'll be back Sunday for a pit stop, then I'm off to the Mothership. Sorry the posting is so spotty and the knitting is a joke, but whoever's reading this can't be reading it for the knitting. I'll try to catch up soon, on knitting and other things.
