Progress has been made!

I am officially through half of Mandi's baby's secret present. The night before last, I squirreled myself away in the bedroom knitting and watching 1st season episodes of LOST while Steve enjoyed a football game (?!) in the living room. For me, watching football is more dull than watching paint dry, and lacks the side benefit of fume-related dizziness.

I knitted a bit more last night, after a lovely dinner of pasta with homemade meatballs and sauce. Ho-made sauce! To be sure! With a little side salad and parmesan. What is it about capers? They just perk everything up. I'm so putting them in tuna salad the next time I make it.

Oh and today, steve sent me THIS really cool link. Halloweenie is approaching! I have a spook-tea date with Mrs. Rachel on THE day, so I have to come up with some sort of ear-nose-tail combo that I can wear to work and in public.

Oh, and on a side note, WOULD Y'ALL STOP HAVING BABIES FOR A MINUTE so I can get some Christmas knitting done? K thanks!

Knitting Class

Rocked my socks off last night. We had a guest student --
Miss Eileen!!! She has miraculously returned from her 2 year stint with the Salvation Army. I mean Peace Corps. Sorry, Jimmy Carter.

then after class she gave me a giant box of chocolates.

Straight to my heart like a cannonball. Indeed.
