gabba gabba hey

has anyone watched this new show on nick Jr. called yo gabba gabba? it's a cross between Krofft superstars and donkey kong and deeee-lite with trendy bands and famous people thrown in. i can't figure out whether i like the show or not. the boy on the other hand has me replay the whole thing after watching each show so i guess he likes it. it seems to have good messages - trying new foods, making fun for yourself, so that's not a bad thing. it's just very WEIRD. i can't tell if the show's got 60s or 70s or 80s influence in it, it's like prego, it's all in there. the funny thing is that every time its on I FALL ASLEEP. that's gotta mean something.

throw some prayer vibes my way - my grandmother is having balloon surgery on her spine today and needs all the good vibes she can muster. she's been in terrible pain for months and i'm so relieved that she's finally getting proper surgical treatment - not "nerve block and a bucket of meds" that her previous doctors have been suggesting. i'm so grateful that this doctor can do the procedure on such short notice - g has a consult appointment at a "big box hospital" for JANUARY 2008 becos "her injury was not severe." what a load. it's incredible what can help a body if the source of pain is just removed, not covered up. i used to go to a chiropractor and i can see some truth in manipulating the body to remove sources of discomfort (however since insurance doesn't cover chiropractic adjustments and treatment can get pricy, i've stopped going). i felt good getting my back cracked and it makes me wonder if g went to a chiropractor if her discomfort could have been prevented. who knows. medicine is just ridiculous these days.

made knee warmers for FiL. not happy with the result. they're too short. i have a feeling i don't have enough yarn to make them long enough. i'll have to fish thru my stash for proper yarn. scarf is almost done. shawl is looking nice. haven't touched sock 2. speaking of socks, a LYS is teaching toe up socks on 2 circulars this fall. i need to book myself for deer lonely ladies day (that's the tuesday after thanksgiving for all you non-hunters out there). there's also a date in october (a tuesday, i'd need someone to watch the boy for me) and a saturday that's the same day as knitter's day out so that day's totally out. i can't wait to go. funny. i got to knitting classes like someone would take night courses at college. well, it's cheaper, and probably more profitable in the long run.

guess that's it. pray from grammy.
