Valentine’s Bear

Category: FO, Knitting, Personal, Xangalittlewit @ 6:26 pm

So I decided to make my boo a knitted Teddy Bear for Valentine’s. So I set to work buying the yarn and collecting my needles. I worked many hours and the first bear came to life:

The first bear didn’t turn out so well…

So then I went back to my knitting and gave it another whirl and after a few hours hours the second bear was born:

Bear #2 looked better but he was still a little off. I was quickly beginning to run out of time as Valentine’s approached. I set to work quickly with my needles and yarn clicking away. Wouldn’t you know it? Around noon on Valentine’s Day I finished the third bear:


And he was just right!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Catherine Woods, update

Category: Personal, Xangalittlewit @ 8:50 am

November 27, 2005, Catherine Woods, a girl from the neighborhood where I grew up was brutally murdered in her apartment in Manhattan. Yesterday, February 13, 2007, the jury went into deliberation to decide the fate of the man who murdered her. If you or anyone you know needs an update or some closure on Catherine Woods here is a link to the Columbus Dispatch article: http://dispatch.com/national/national.php?story=246501.

May Catherine rest in peace, may her murderer be brought to justice and may her family have closure on the loss of their eldest daughter.

RoboHelp isn’t “Help”-ful

Category: Xangalittlewit @ 12:31 pm

I must rant. This is one of the greatest contradictions of my life. I am trying to utilize RoboHelp for a client to create a manual for their software from some GREAT Help files that they currently have. However, the program is old, non-intuitive and well not helpful. I find it odd that a program designed to create Help files has such absolutley terrible Help files itself. Their Help files have answered maybe 2 of my questions. This leaves 20+ questions unanswered and does not allow me to accurately answer my client as to whether or not I can perform a task for them. Argh! Software companies, stop buying each other out if you are not going to put forth the effort to make the product good. Yes, Adobe, that means you!
End Rant.

And for your entertainment, I have a picture of why you should not allow your teens to dress themselves…the shoes are an ox blood round toe kitten heel. :) Quite beautiful with the “too big ex-boyfriend Structure t-shirt”
