I've approached ribbing for Orangina the White. Will I forget how tediously boring ribbing can be and believe I can finish this all by today? Yes. Yes yes yes. My judgment in estimates will be clouded by my extreme desire to finish and wear this right the f now. I sewed one shoulder seam (one scallop) and tried it on to see how it would fit, and man is this a nice sweater. Must finish today MUST FINISH TODAY!!!!

A couple of people have asked if I have an rss feed. I've been hesitant to publicize it because if I know people are subscribing to my site, then I will start to sweat and blink nervously, and nothing I type will be good enough to warrant a subscription to, and you'll all hate me. Why all the drama? I have a web site which I both do and do not want people to see. Stupid. Anyway, subscribe here.

For all you fellow Americans I hope you have a lovely Independence Day this weekend. I will be showing my patriotism by finally finishing my application for an Irish citizenship! This applying-Irish-citizenship-through-marriage 'loophole' closes this November, but there were a lot of other requirements that needed to be fulfilled before then, like having at least a 3-year long marriage. We just had our 3-year anniversary in April, so we are making the deadline just in time. I took this opportunity to finally change my name, and just now received my updated passport. This weekend when we go to Duck's family we will pick up all the other necessary paperwork - his grandmother's birth certificate (she's a natural-born Irishwoman, making all this possible), marriage certificate, his mother's marriage certificate, etc. etc. Lots of documentation to gather before we can make an appointment at the Irish Consulate...We're almost there though, and once my citizenship is approved and I can apply for an EU passport, I will apply for a Taiwanese one. One day soon I'll be strutting down the street wearing my Orangina and carrying three valid passports and how hot would that be?!

The lace looks lovely in white, can't wait to see it. I have the same ambiguous feeling about who is reading my blog, knitters are most welcome, but the rest of the whole wide world is a little bit disconcerting.
