    @AusVintageGrrl @knitabulous Thanks, I’ve seen those linked on some running blogs. Too bad I’m not much of a runner these days!


    Three workmen jammed into the kitchen. Chaos.


    @imdominating That show is starting here soon. Should I watch?


    @RoseRed_Shoes None of these guys would be in that movie. Trust me.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @zephyrama Count me in as surprised as well.


    Benchtop man says the 2 week estimate from Harvey Norman was wildly optimistic. SONOFA–


    .@dailylifeau has an incredibly stupid article about #paleo today: http://t.co/9qHepWJo. It appears @StephieAWood1 didn’t do much research.


    @knitterjp Oh, just that it’s going to take longer than that. No set date. Something vague about the public holiday making things tricky.


    Two weeks. Write it down. That’s officially how long it took me to be fully OVER this whole renovation thing. Never again, I swear. #fedup


    RT @bazarazzi: Final tally on the House of Reps #marriageequality survey: 276,437 total, 64.0% support @AdamBandt’s bill, 36.0% oppose.


    @witty_knitter Even if it hadn’t been delayed, I’m still over it. I can’t deal with chaos and dust and being out of control. I’m stressed.


    And the final insult on my shit of a day? Google have finally forced the new GMail theme upon me and taken away the option to switch back.


    @creativemercury I’ve had my own domain name for a decade. It’s not a technical limitation. Just annoyed.


    RT @venks79: Back from holidays and raring to find my next big challenge! // You should hired Venks to be your CTO. Trust me!


    Silver lining to today’s clouds: got confirmation that one of my best friends is joining the team at @sitback in a few weeks!

    RT @Y7News: Only 4% of Aus women view having a baby as a top priority, below family, friends and relationships. http://t.co/lflIn3WP // Yup


    Just made guacamole stuffed cherry tomatoes for knitters party today. 🙂 #paleo #virtuous


    @drkknits HOLY CRAP. (I’m just hemming my dress right now, so I’ll probably be a little late…)


    I finished my dress! Very, very pleased with it. http://t.co/MHIxWs0l


    @Yarna_ The neverending scarf? Hooray! It looks beautiful.


    @drkknits Heya – did some of this Pear Tree fall out of the bag? I’ve only got 7 skeins…


    @drkknits I think this is enough to do what I want. I was just confused because your label said 9!


    @drkknits Excellent. Sure, would be good for safety just to make sure I’ve got enough!


    @drkknits I’m thinking… Catriona. It’s been on my list for ages. http://t.co/pK1KECAr


    @drkknits And for the Mad Tosh, I’m thinking Kernel… possibly even WITH BEADS. WTF. WHO AM I?! http://t.co/AgC5GePZ


    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits But as I said to Rodd just now – NO TRIANGLE SHAWLETTES, AS GOD IS MY WITNESS.


    @drkknits Freezer. Save for later. Be strong!


    @carriekalia Thanks! Actually still a little big as a sundress, but good if I want to wear a shirt under it, I think.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitdra @mrs_sockvictim Now you guys are making me want to go. But really, I don’t need more wool!


    SONOFA. Just realised it’s *two* weeks til the benchtop arrives. Two more weeks of not having a proper kitchen. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU.


    @Opheli8 Stainless steel. They have to weld it together so it fits perfectly.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Nah, we can’t use the cooktop/oven or even put things in cupboards til it goes on. Bugger.


    People on Twitter who don’t know how to spell cologne: http://t.co/aNfpVIdd. I’ll admit I laughed out loud.

    Kitchen install done for the day. Check out the money shot! http://t.co/hBmJImpN


    @that_alison Oh, that’s not staying. The splashback is “smoky mirror”, and everything about that will just be painted white.


    @jasony Unfortunately it’s a time of mega work stress, so that’s detracting. But they’ve been pretty flexible, so I can’t complain!


    @jezfletcher @sarahhazelton Bring It On is the poo. Take a big whiff. LOVE IT.


    @imdominating Meh. Cairns is way far away. My biggest fear in Sydney is getting a bad latte. 🙂


    Cutting out booze has boosted my #paleo efforts. I’m down 3.3kg in 21 days. Not bad – and that’s with NO exercise too! (cc @drkknits)

    @jasony Stainless steel! They measure it up on Monday, and then it takes a week since they have to custom build/weld it to fit.


    Why am I the only person who EVER reads the documentation?


    RT @drkknits: @web_goddess cough *hermione* cough // I suspect that’s it, frankly.


    @quietdiscourse The sad thing is I’m not even talking about my docs, but instead a fairly detailed brief provided by the client!


    @henrytapia When you say it like that, it’s obviously less of a superpower and more of a curse.


    Call from builder. He’s ready to start install NOW, a day early! What universe is this?! Rushing home…


    @drkknits @knitdra Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt.


    It’s happening!! http://t.co/M4QOS5Db


    I’ve been putting more kitchen pics into an album on Facebook, by the way. So check there if you’re curious! I’ll blog them when it’s done.


    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @knitdra I am never, ever gonna live that down, am I?


    @that_alison @knitterjp @dancingman Thanks! I’m really happy that it’s living up to the picture in my head. BUT SO MUCH CLEANING NEEDED.


    Macbook backlight has died… one month after AppleCare expired. Sonofabitch.


    @henrytapia Yeah. Genius Bar only has appointments a week out from now. Will check in the morning and cross fingers for a walk-in.


    @myindodotcom Awww, thanks. Be warned – they stop dead after ep 10! Life got in the way. 🙂


    Installed the new Appstore Tweetdeck to my work machine, and I HATE IT. More clicks to ban spammers, can’t read conversations, stupid UI.


    @henrytapia I used to use the standalone version before Twitter bought them. The new version you have to get from the Appstore. It’s blue.


    @henrytapia Never used web or Chrome app. But on old one, you click “in reply to” and see the whole conversation. Can’t seem to do that now.

    W00t! Office Manager is setting up a brand new MacBook Pro for me. This is a good day.


    @creativemercury Heh, I wish. 🙂


    In terms of snacks, bananas are as bad for you as cookies! Thus spake Sydney Uni, of all things! 🙂 http://t.co/CG90ZKwm (cc @drkknits)


    @stufromoz @drkknits The infographic admits bananas have other benefits. But in terms of satiety, they’re equivalent!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Rodd sent me the link. I told him I tweeted it and said, “Incoming tweet from M-H in 3… 2…. 1…” #troll 🙂


    @mudsurfer I didn’t actually eat one. But the Abercrombie Hotel had them. They had lots of stoner food.


    @redambition Say Hi to Dr. Chin for me! 🙂


    I put in a zipper!! 4 buttons and a hem and my dress is DONE. http://t.co/QKvt167u


    @zephyrama Thanks! It’s the Colette Parfait. Fabric is just some cheap poplin from Lincraft! I mostly meant this one for practice. 🙂


    @witty_knitter That’s ’cause I mostly cropped out my thick woollen socks. Very glamorous indeed. 🙂


    @zephyrama Their patterns have a reputation for being busty. I had to resize a bit under the arms, and cups still aren’t full. Close enough!


    @zephyrama Digital is coming soon, they said in last newsletter! I cut a 16 to fit waist but really needed a 14 in boobs.


    Whoa – kitchen delivery guys are here NOW! The early-ness is welcome but unexpected.


    The red kitchen is finally here! The delivery guys are bring in many, many pieces. They like the red. 🙂 http://t.co/tmNGbjb4


    @laimelde They said themselves that “everybody else just gets white.” 🙂

    Update from @the_snook: Tiles are nearly all down! http://t.co/tXAMdexg


    @dancingman That’s what @the_snook’s research indicated as well. Sounds like he’s leaning towards grey.


    @gizo Yep. http://t.co/kfS8bYPh Haven’t tried it though. Use ours to just make plain fizzy water, which I love.


    @crumpet @gizo Well, technically. I’ve heard dark rumours about people using it to carbonate milk, etc though… which doesn’t work well.


    @crumpet @gizo Huh, it’s just opposite the QVB. Sure, will poke my head in next time I’m there!


    @drkknits Nice! We had purple carrots last week. They will stain your fingers a little bit if you hold and peel them, I found. 🙂


    Even my new cheery gumboots are no match for waiting for the bus in cold rain at night after a 10 hour day. #sad


    We have a floor with grey grout. I do love it. http://t.co/sPVxaLCm http://t.co/EwmlD7de


    My skirt now has pockets with actual buttonholes! First time I ever used auto buttonhole foot on machine. Magic! http://t.co/ZvKDiaXP


    RT @the_snook: He likes it because it matches his tux http://t.co/JGRdMzqa // Kitty camouflage!


    I officially like Show Margaery way better than Book Margaery. May or may not have something to do w/ idea of Renly-Loras threesome. #genius


    @randomknits I had some difficulty due to thickness of pocket, so one is a little messy. Do you put nail polish on them? I read that once.


    @supercres Yeah, I already loved the Grandma! Glad now her granddaughter is less boring.


    Holy crap, fire at the Abercrombie last night?? No more deep-fried Golden Gaytimes for a while, it seems.


    Me: “Mob-related drive-bys and arson attacks? When did Sydney become Gotham City?” @the_snook: “Since they cleaned up Melbourne.”

    DIY cat barriers. And a fan bungee-corded to a chair. I am my father’s daughter. http://t.co/2DzUF6nM http://t.co/pi6tT2Gm


    @drkknits Hahaha… Do I have the context right? Are you considering dog names? AMY FARRAH FOWLER WOULD BE AWESOME.


    Got new headphones as my old ones (bequeathed by @chrisgander) were falling apart. These are “for DJs”. I fe http://t.co/ytjr5Uu0


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits And I would film it and put it on YouTube and she’d see it and THEN WE’D GET TO MEET HER.


    @drkknits How about Sookie? 🙂


    @chrisgander I looked on eBay. It was pretty much either A) complete shit, or B) $250 Dr. Dre headphones. I went for the $25 Sony.


    I looked for a felt tip eyeliner pen yesterday and they were SIXTY DOLLARS. Is that expected? (ping @redambition, who knows these things)


    @redambition Cheers. I saw a YouTube tutorial for doing “flicky eyes” and they suggested the pen is better for beginners!


    Wondering if the cats have managed to get into the concrete… or if my jury-rigged fan has fallen over into it and ruined it. #anticipation


    @randomknits @redambition This one? http://t.co/kG6i0HbL Sweet! What colour? My eyelashes are brown. Does that preclude black liner?


    @imdominating Never underestimate the grossness of Theon. (Have you read the books? I shall say no more otherwise…)


    Hooray! Fan is still upright, and no visible cat footprints in cement.


    @redambition My Mom is coming out to visit end of July… She’s usually happy to play courier. 🙂


    @redambition You can always order and have em sent to her house early. Just have to wait a few weeks to get em though!


    @imdominating I am of the opinion, just between us, that his peener got cut off. I felt sorry for him a little bit!


    @goldfishgeorge Ooh, thanks for the tip! Will check it out.


    Holy crap, knitters. Did you see FB? Bex and Jakk got MARRIED in New York!!


    @stufromoz I actually bought my first ever wellies on the weekend, and I am SO EXCITED to wear them today!


    Forecast is for three days of epic rain, but me and my new gumboots don’t care! http://t.co/i5RPIJrt


    Left @the_snook at home with builders. The floor is happening! Can’t wait to see it complete. http://t.co/doSGTpQE


    @redambition Got em at Target on the weekend. $24! But larger sizes pretty much sold out. 🙁


    @Justacogitating Unfortunately the Australian release isn’t til JULY. I am going to be spoiled; it’s inevitable. 🙁


    Second-guessing our decision for black grout. Tiler recommends grey instead; says black is hard to keep clean. Any thoughts?

    Running late for the damn Easter Show. Finally waiting for the train. Why are my weekends busier than my weekdays?


    This appears to also be the train to “SupaFest.” Kill me now.


    @miss_reecie We need to work on your posing. Needs more attitude!


    @knitness @miss_reecie I think she was actually there yesterday, unless she’s been living in that Rav agree shirt all weekend. 😛


    Floor tiler is here! I predict by the end of today, it’s going to look a lot more like a kitchen and less like a concrete cave.


    @witty_knitter @Kat13v @merrinmez webmaster@ email address will reach her. Susan’s not as 24/7 online as I am though.


    …And I was wrong. This is going to be a two-day affair, which means I need to figure out how to keep 2 cats out of cement for 24 hours.

    @witty_knitter I am, but I will likely be a bit late!


    @imdominating At the salon reading trashy mags, and this made me laugh and laugh. R FATZ. http://t.co/m6S1YxVE


    Hair drying has commenced. Heading to Guild soon!


    @AusVintageGrrl What surgery? Did miss something? You okay??


    @drkknits I’M COMING! I got up late and had no time to eat before getting my hair did. Catching a cab RIGHT NOW.


    Got my hair done and made it to Guild! They gave me a sash for my 2nd place socks. 🙂 http://t.co/LQcAvlCL
