I survived the switch upgrade, which didn’t finish until 5 am. I didn’t have to work yesterday, but I ended up only getting 3 hours of sleep because I had a plumber coming by at 9 am. At least I got to bed early last night and feel pretty darn good today.
Danielle won a big ol’ bag of yarn from Mason-Dixon Knitting and is celebrating by having her first contest! Leave a comment for her, guessing what she’s knitting (toadstools maybe??) before noon on Tuesday, August 29.
Norma’s gearing us up for the Red Scarf Project 2007, which will have its own blog this time around. Anyone who knits a red scarf to donate to the RSP and posts a picture to the blog will be eligible to win prizes, such as a skein of handdyed yarn from Scout! Both Norma and Scout have great explanations of how to save one of the many button choices to your own server and get it into your sidebar. That was something which completely mystified me when I started blogging, so take advantage of the info!
Cheryl’s having a contest to guess who will win the Wing of Moth shawl knit-off.
SRP Update
Mallets Aforethought by Sarah Graves, 294 pages. Another Home Repair Is Homicide mystery. I enjoy this series, but I’m not making any effort to read them in order – which I would if I felt passionately about them (like the J.D. Robb mysteries… mmmm… Roarke…). Anyway, I think this book had a relatively large “continuity” gap near the end. Hmm.
And now, the rest of the bib story alluded to yesterday…
Yay, a victory for Chaos against the evil bib monster!
Poor Chaos! You should give him the blankie for all the torture you put him through.
now, what is a switch upgrade?!
poor chaos : (
Chaos handles the bib with grace and class. 😉
Three hours of sleep, eh? Kinda like you had a baby or something.
I have the urge to knit a bib just so I can see if I can get my cat to wear it.. and that’s really, really wrong.
Again, poor Chaos!
I’m with Mouse on this one. But then I’d have to start sleeping with one eye open. As I suspect you may have to soon…
Ha, well, I think Chaos looks good in pink. He was especially handsome in the sunbeam photograph. And is that Moderne which I spy underneath Chaos?
PS–did you get the Patio Pink locally? Or online? I’ve been admiring the newest colors for SnC.
Pretty in pink springs to mind but Chaos’ fur isn’t long enough to be Molly Ringwald!
Pesky bibs. How DO they keep ending up around Chaos’ neck?
Poor, poor, Chaos! LOL!
Chaos, you should see the wisdom of the bib. It will protect your lovely fur from tuna juice. Would you like the bib if it was sparkly and red??
Congrats on surviving the switch upgrade, whatever that is.
Poor Chaos. It is girly, but pink is his color. And blue. And purple come to think of it. Hmmm. Does Chaos have a color he can’t pull off?
Yay for sleep! Don’t tell Chaos but he looks good in pink.
Sad that I not only know what a switch upgrade is, but have sat up throug many of them – both from the customer perspective and the vendor perspective. Either way – they SUCK! My record was was 72 hours at a site.
Looks like you almost had Chaos for good in that second-to-last photo! He’s such a good sport!
See you tonite…
Chaos, real men wear pink well. And it coordinates so nicely with your sleek black fur.
I heard switch upgrade and started getting a twitch over my eye. RM has had to contend with those.
Chaos, Wiji and Hazel cover their eyes with their paws in horror.
i think chaos looks very handsome in his pink bib! He needs to me more confident about his masculinity.
Chaos is truly the master at big removal.
I think I can see a real look of disdain on his face in that last picture.
Glad you got a day off—-knitting or reading, tough choice, huh?
Chaos – Gandalf says he thinks you’re so cool for getting that girly bib off in record time! Black cats rule! (Although Atticus and Mae may have something to say about that…)
I love the Atttack of the Bib series. lol
Congrats on surviving the switch upgrade! How much coffee was involved? 😉 Really, it sounded like a tedious job, glad you made it through and are rested!
Hehe, I’ve been showing Chaoudini around the office – Chaos, your fan club is growing! C’mon and admit the bibs are your new gimmick, all magician kitties need one ;o)
poor Chaos, the life of a model, he doesn’t know how good he’s got it. By the way he looks great in pink, love the bib!
hahaha, poor Chaos!!!
Go have a glass of wine, and then take a nappy.
Chaos has to be the coolest internet cat, ever!
I think I need some Peaches & Cream!
LOL at Chaos, does he never learn, I’m in the red scarf 2007.
Poor Chaos, always with the bibs 😉
Hehe You could make a Chaos flip book!
I think Chaos deserves his very own, smaller bib. With maybe a tuna embroidered on it.
Chaos I told you to RUN!!!!
I’ve only got your best interests at heart you know!
Silly Kitty!
Poor Chaos!
Hmm… maybe you could tell him the girly bib just provides a greater contrast to his evident rugged masculinity?
I also put up this link thanks to my buddy Bruce, my webguru.

He rocks!
I would like the bib pattern please.
I haven’t found one like it yet.
Your site is fun to read.
PINK! CHAOS! It’s so far beneath him he isn’t even too concerned UNTIL the very bitter end…
[You never cease to amuse me…]
THANKS!
You are totally rocking with all these links – I needed some “news” for the upcoming Pointy Sticks episodes, and *bam!* – you completely hooked me up! Red Scarf project!
