And here I was, afraid I wouldn’t have anything to blog about tonight. But look! A delivery from Amazon, just in the nick of time!

That’s Alterknits, a book of some very unique patterns that I’ve barely had a chance to flip through yet. A copy of Occasion by Harry Connick Jr and Wynton Marsalis–all instrumental. It’s playing right now, very mellow. Also Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, the newest album by Paul McCartney, which has been getting some really good reviews. He apparently leaves the comfort zone he’s been coasting in for a while, and I’m looking forward to hearing it. That’ll be tomorrow, in the car

And, what’s that other item? A book called Yarn Harlot?? Hmm . . . who would buy such a thing??

Well, only just about everybody!!

That one I’m starting tonight, and I’m very excited about it, too. Especially after Saturday’s disappointment. Thank you, Stephanie! I haven’t even started reading, and I’m enjoying bookbookbook2 already!

Now, about this whole pressure-to-blog thing . . . Now, I know some of us have, at some point or another, mentioned that they felt pressured to blog by the ravening horde of readers out here in the internet. But . . . I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve never felt this kind of pressure.

And, lest we forget, there are still victims of Hurricane Katrina out there who need our help. Just because things are getting better doesn’t mean it’s good!
