I have won the Internets, again!
Wow, it's been a while.

July's been a really intense month and I've been away from LJ for around the past three weeks, just coming in off and on but not being devoted to reading my flist. I acquired a Bell's Palsy and I've been in and out of doctor's offices and stuff. I'm almost 100% back to a full recovery, although my ear still feels like it's under pressure and my left cheek isn't at 100% full feeling or mobility. Hopefully, I will start physical therapy sometime next week or so and things can get back to normal in August.

My birthday has come and gone, so I'm 33 now and Mike's 40 and we've been kidding around that our bodies decided to really show signs of wear and tear. Hee hee! Thank you for the fabulous birthday greetings, y'all are really great.

I wanted to give a shout out, especially, to my good friend PP. She sent me Five for my Jelly Baby swap. Now, she's given me a little friend to go with him!

The Doctor, The Master, and Me

YAY! (Methinks I've got a new OT3.)

Isn't he adorable? She also got me a lovely skein of this gorgeous Cherry Tree Hill yarn called "Foxy Lady". Mrowr! I really love her so very very much. (She's on LJ as [info]awoods5. She's awesomesauce!)

We've been spending a lot of time together, along with a number of other fans and friends at Plurk. (Thanks to Ceej who got me into Plurk in the first place.) It's fun and I've made a number of new friends, mostly knitters and friends of knitters. A number of us are into Who too. And speaking of Who...

I am 1 of 100 I am 1 of 100 I am 1 of 100 I am 1 of 100

Those of you out there who know what that means, yay! I am proud to be 1 of 100 and I can't wait until the pictures of all 100 get released.

So, yay, I'm back and hopefully will throw myself back into my flist and friends and all the folks I've missed.

Aww, that's one helluva OT3. Hope the recovery and physical therapy go well!

Thank you so much! I don't think it will be a lot of PT, just enough to get my face more symmetrical than it is now. It was much more lopsided when the Bell's Palsy was in full-effect. Now it's not too bad, thank goodness!

I am SO tempted to just roll around in them all!

I was also pondering if I could get away with setting them all up in the road outside my flat and photographing that!

Personally, i think it would be awesome if you waited until you had the full hundred, then recruit a couple of your friends to do a photoshoot of you (as Matron) on the road surrounded by all 100 and they'll be your extras all pointing and stuff in the background.

THAT WOULD BE COOL.

The little crocheted Master goes perfectly with crocheted Five! And I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.

My Adipose is going slowly, but it's getting there. I probably should have picked something a bit easier for the first major knitting project I've done in 15 years, shouldn't I? Oh well. It'll be cute when it's done, mistakes and all.

The knitting has never been a problem but I'm not the best finisher in the world. Alas. This is probably why I like knitting stuff that has very little finishing... it's just easier for me to handle because I'm just so bad at finishing anything.

I think it's in the nature of knitted Adipose to be cute. Hee hee!

Just wanted to say Hi....I added you to my LJ friends list a while ago. I think I saw a reponse to a mutual friends (moderngypsy)LJ and noticed some similar interests. Anyway I wanted to let you know that I added you to my Plurk friends list too just in case you're wondering who this strange person is on you Plurk's friend's list. ;) BTW I'm a fellow knitter.

Oh, sweetie-bean... Sorry to hear you've been ill. That Bell's Palsy is rough. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Sorry I missed wishing you a hippie barfday!

You look so beautiful in that picture, and the dolls are quite catching as well :)
