sopranos

After I joined Netflix a few months ago, I decided to start watching the Sopranos. I never watched a single episode of this show before this past few weeks. With teaching and doing all the family stuff- I just never had time to watch TV. Plus we did not have HBO.

So I am on a Soprano watching marathon.This past few weeks I have watched all the 1999 season episodes and there should be a Season 2 DVD waiting for me when I get back from knitting camp. My plan is to get thru the first 5 years by the end of the summer. Of course,I can't watch any of those episodes on A&E because I want it to be in order..No gaps in what is happening. The final episode news I have been avoiding because I don't want to know yet.

No wonder so matter people followed this show.The writers are so clever and the characters are so funny. Little things like when Tony was on too much Prozac and the music was slowed down make it hilarious. It is definitely an adult show with the naked pole dancers and the episodes with Junior and oral sex conversations.

Knitting Camp

My clothes and knitting supplies are getting gathered up so I will be ready to take off to Bradford , Pa this Friday. It is my second time attending this Knitting Camp with my sister from Lancaster, Pa. The theme this year is miters and includes a Crayon Box sweater -which I may pass on because it is not me. But I did gather yarn from stash in pinks and greens just in case I change my mind. Bradford is where I was born and I still have relatives there so this is a special place to visit .

This is how I pack.My method includes piling things in my computer room a week. Then it will be sorted out and half left behind . space is limited because I am taking the Mini Cooper not the Honda Element.

So far:

wine

birthday present for sister (big 60!!)

bags of fiber to spin and share with my sister

spinning wheel and accessories.

needles of all sizes

The Knitter's Handbook ( for added help )

show and tell stuff ( mobius, oven mitt - not much else I am brave enough to share

Idenity theft

I am scared.. I feel so violated.My credit card bill came with 3 unknown charges today. I hope that is the only place that I find this. I called CapitolOne 3 times today and finally got through. One charge is to a pet store called Pandyshop in NY for $546. Like I need another dog with 3 already? The 2 others are for some music down loads of sort at 58$ and another for 99$.I am basically deaf so I don't do that.
The only place I have charged recently with it was at the Woolery to buy my Lendrum bag and extra bobbins. Usually I use my checking account for most things like EBay and Pay pal.It makes you paranoid thinking that somehow some evil person would do that.
The credit card had to be cancelled and now it will be another 2 weeks before I get a new one.The nice man with an accent said not to worry - right!
