It’s a 9ºF Heatwave!!

Whoo- wee, it is actually BALMY today!!! The sun is shining brighter than bright. Did you ever notice that puts people in a better humor?

Two-hour delay for school today (after cancelling yesterday). My child has a fever, so he is home.

I have been doing some house stuff. Kitchen floor, clearing off the counter, the table, etc. I would have rather been at lunch with Betsy, but gotta be home.

Knitting tonite though. It will be nice to get out and into a BOOKSTORE.

I’ve read a couple books this week. You can click on my BOOKS page to see what they are.
I am deciding which of my upteen books will be next.

AMERICAN IDOLwas ok, nothing exciting. Paula was more interactive. I think it was the first time they actually called someone BACK to do another try. Shows how much influence SIMON really has. I am surprised at just how many of these folks will just tell the panel to “Kiss My A**”.

I’m working on a lovely cashmerino scarf for someone, who shall remain nameless, but her name is spelled N-A-O-M-I. You do three strips, of three different colors, in three different patterns, and braid them. LOVE LOVE the yarn and colors. I started two other scarves for her and didn’t care for them. One was a multi-directional with Noro Kureyon color 139, and the other was another pattern from the book HOOKED SCARVES. I wasn’t happy with either one of them. When Sandie and I were up at Knit-Wits I saw this scarf and loved the cashmerino, so here I go. I am almost 1/2 done. I plan to work on it tonite at Knit Nite.

I mailed my last SP9 package on Saturday. It cost $28 to mail since it went overseas. I thhink that is alot, but then when you think about it, if I gave you $28 would you take a package to Southeast Asia for me??? I have had some really good SP’s while participating in the SP exchanges (I did SP 6, 7 8 and 9) Made a few terrific friends from it. SP 10 is already starting, they are doing questionnairres for it already. I am not going to do anymore SP’s though.

Sockapalooza is on hold until Alison has her baby. I haven’t decided whether or not I will sign up for it. I am a SUPER SLOW sock knitter, unlike some of the sock demons we all know….

Well, I am going to go for today. Hope you are all safe and warm. Let me know you were here!!!
