Update

Back safe & sound from Ulster. Pictures are downloaded onto computer, need a little sorting and then will be posted for your viewing pleasure. Amazing trip! I have a newly piqued interest in the IRA/Irish history concerning loyalism v. republicanism. Also, Sam says the Guiness really is better in Ireland. I hadn't actually had it before the trip so I couldn't comparatively comment, but I thought it was quite delicious.

Gave Sam a hairchop last night. He told me to hurry, so... I did! And now its short. But, it looks surprisingly cute still! I like it short or shaggy, it turns out.

Wrist aching from too much knitting on trip. I was just trying to keep my mind on something other than my nausea from the extra windy little country roads and I guess I overdid it. On the upside, the sweater now only lacks about 8 x 12 inches of stockinette on US8 needles plus a strip of seed stitched collar, yay.

Check out these beauts for the collection, woo. Just when you thought me talking about knitting was getting boring.... whoo boy, let me tell you about my stamp collection...

T-minus 18 days before I depart m.o.e. It will be so nice to see everyone again! And my little house, and my banged up poor car.
