In which trek uses a lot of "tags"

We are feeling totally random and disorganized here tonight, which is a little odd, honestly, since I just spent a bunch of time folding laundry and getting things ready for Number Guy's bagpipe band events scheduled for Saturday. Let's go with a Thursday Night Bullet Post, shall we?

• The weather around the country has been pretty weird lately, or so I hear. Minnesotans have been laboring under dry heat conditions more suitable to the Phoenix area, while Down Easters have been coping with conditions more appropriate in the Amazonian rain forest.



• I think the weather weirdness is contagious: all of June was chilly and rainy, right up until this week. We hailed the mighty burning ball in the sky with great joy and appreciation, baring our skins to better absorb its warming rays.



• I got a bit rained on this morning whilst taking my walk.



• Have I mentioned that when I am not kwitting, I like to read while I walk?



• I wouldn't have minded as much if I'd been carrying one of my own books instead of a library book. I had to tuck the paperback into the front waistband of my shorts.



• Yeah, it did look funny.



• But they were old, loose shorts and the book stayed dry and I didn't happen to see anyone I know.



• I like my (near) daily walks. I like to walk alone or with companions.



• I put another few quarters into the tea tin today.



• We are now in the second week of knowing what our cholesterol numbers really are here. With the exception of a tiny sliver of birthday cake last Saturday, I haven't caught even the slightest whiff of a cookie, cake, brownie, nor pie.



• I told Number Guy that the doctor says that we can eat all the fish that we want. His response was immediate, "We already do."



• No, we don't eat much fish at all: neither one of us likes it all that much. Other than canned tuna, that is.



• There is a package of tilapia in the freezer. I plan to grill some of that early next week, despite the complaints.



• I'll just sprinkle it with loads of Old Bay and we shall all gag it down enjoy it.



• I think that all of this virtue is slowly killing me.



• Laundry seems to pile up just as much in the summer as in the winter. There may not be sweatshirts and sweaters to be done, but the bathing suits and pool towels make up the difference.



• I worked turned the heels on my SIPs last night. Just need to pick up the gusset stitches and begin the race down towards the toes.



• Usually, I knit a flat toe, but I am thinking that I might do a short row one this time and use a contrasting yarn for grafting the stitches across the top. Wouldn't navy blue look good against the raspberry?



• Speaking of raspberries, I'm hungry.



• I'm going to see my new student this weekend. I've got some green and some brown wool in my bag for the next lesson.



• She hasn't called me in a panic, so I am assuming that the knit stitch is going well enough. Maybe we'll purl on Saturday?



• Neatnik has completed book #80 and she's already well into book #81.



• Why, yes, she is still a book or two up on Mommy.



• Despite this morning's rain, this afternoon turned out to be beautiful and many of Neatnik's classmates joined us at the pool for a few hours.



• I swatched for Neatnik's anklets while at the pool but ripped it all out when I got home. Cascade Fixation has a different feel after it's been washed and worn. Might have to rethink my strategy on this one.



• Number Guy and I are re-watching The Matrix. Great movie.



• We spotted a dozen bunnies over the course of the day today. The other day was even more impressive: we counted up thirty-one cute little furballs.



• Tomorrow is the last day of Son Rock Kids Camp. Neatnik has enjoyed it thoroughly and is looking forward to the next one in a few weeks.

Well, look at that: the addition of the VBS reference brought my label/tag count over ten. That's some sort of record, isn't it?

See, I told you I was using a lot of tags tonight!
