Gord proposed this morning and I said YES!!!!! He surprised me in the living room. Tricky boy he is. :-)

I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick post to say I survived my experience in Los Angeles and am back in Austin, Texas. The past week was a stressful one - 8 days on the road, foul mouthed hotel guests, and the tradeshow installation from hell. I'm home for a week before I'm back out on the road.

I'm in Los Angeles right now for a trade show and the hotel that I'm staying at is hostin an "Adult Novelty" convention.

Of course, this is after I knit myself a Skully sweater. And after I finally finish my tank girl sweater.

So much knitting, not enough time. ;
