Ravelympics
If you weren't already convinced that my sanity is zapped, I offer this proof for your consideration:
I've joined the Ravelympics on Ravelry.
Now, lest you think I've really and truly lost it, let's read that sentence again. I've joined it. Realistic hope of finishing said project does not figure anywhere into it! I'm making a (very easy) fair isle vest for my youngest. It was meant as pure therapy, and a diversion from all that is going on in my life (see previous post), and I do feel some guilt that I put aside my mom's afghan to do it. However, dealing with my mom's situation (a daily barrage of phone calls with doctors, social workers, family/friends needing updates, and 100 mile (round-trip) trips to see her roughly 3-4 times per week), I wanted to work on something that didn't have all that attached to it, so I could "escape" just a little. That strategy isn't working out so well, but I'm making a Gold Medal Effort!

Almost Means "NOT!"
OK, so most of you know I'm an idiot! Those who don't...now you know! Most of you have your coveted Ravelry invite...except Moi, who, as most of you know, couldn't get it together enough to type my own stinking e-mail correctly (and yes, I have Mozilla, so what's up with that? Did I keep typing over the pop up thing-y? Do I have so many e-mail accounts it had no idea which one I wanted it to fill in?). And, yes, I wrote them...I haven't heard anything back yet (like they aren't busy enough sending out thousands of invites per day without a goof-bucket like me pestering them for a screw-up I made!). And the anal in me had to go and check to see if they sent my invite (to the wrong addy), and here's what I got:
Your invitation was sent on October 14, 2007. We just sent you a new copy of the email (from invitations@ravelry.com) in case it was lost or eaten by a spam filter.
ARRRGGGHHH!!! Couldn't you just die????
When I do get my invite (I'm 4-something thousandth on the list now), just look me up under OneStupidMama!!!
