I really wonder why I constantly wish my life away. I wish it were Friday, I wish it were Thanksgiving, I wish it were the Christmas holidays. What, exactly, is life if all I want to do is wish the days away?

Wanna know something that bothers me? There is someone on the knitlist who writes "the" as "teh" - at first I was okay with it but now I can't read anything she posts. Don't care what she has to say - learn to spell the little words and then work up to the big words.

Knitting? Ummm, only at work. Fat girl worked out again last night, came home and ate supper and then slinkied her large butt to the shower and bed. DH & I have been getting to bed earlier and earlier. Not that we haven't needed the rest. I read until my eyes roll back in my head and then I shut out the light and man snuggle. Even the man snuggles are short/sweet since he rolls to his side and I roll to my stomach...not long after.

Hmmm, how boring of a post can this be? I guess it is just hard to top Girlfriend playing Hide 'N Go Seek.

I have to head down to San Antonio this weekend. My friend, Jessica, is having her youngest baptized and it is important to her that DH & I show. I'm hoping to hit the Yarn Barn - just for fun since stash does not need enhancing nor do I need to be spending $ on yarn when the holidays are fast approaching.

Fat girl worked out yesterday. I didn't go all last week since I wasn't feeling well with the sinus infection + bronchitis. My Curves friend, Shannon, just got back from the Curves trip to Las Vegas and she won $1700! She won $1K on $1 slots and $700 on quarter slots. Luckily, she won them on two different machines cuz they have to take taxes out of $1200 or more. She bought herself 2 purses and 2 pair of shoes while there - $500. She brought back $1200 and is buying herself a new puter. Happy for her.

Did I knit/crochet or anything last night? Nope but I did read some on the novel Chalktown. Pretty good so far and I'm a little more that 25% finished with it. DH and I got into bed a little early and we both seem to need it. I'm knitting away on Margot's shawl during work so I'm still accomplishing something.

Grandad and I kept GB since DD had to work on Saturday. He crashed on the way home so we got him in his bed and we sat around the fire just enjoying each other's company. We woke up to his sweetness lying between us and jibbering away. Saturday night we ate dinner around the fire and watched the game ------> GO UT! What a great game. It was so fun to sit outside, snuggly in the campfire blankets and watching the game. I couldn't have asked for more.

I had most of Sunday to myself since DS & DH headed over to Marc's for some welding fun. All my winter clothes are now hanging in my closet and the summer clothes & shoes are put into the storage closet. I'm so pleased. I also had a chance to go through GB's toys and I have 2 bags DD needs to look through to make sure I'm not getting rid of something important.

Funny Story (at least to me): When we were lying in bed Saturday, talking to GB, the phone rings and it is Marc asking me to do him a favor. I could tell by his voice that it was super important. He asked me to get on the internet and print something for his eldest daughter, Tracy. I get in the office and he sends me to her yahoo account. I find the e-mail he's talking about but it doesn't sound like what she needs in order to get in the door to take the SAT. I click on the link and it takes me to another link that requires a password. I tell him and he asks her - mind you, they are driving toward my house and he is red hot cuz she didn't do anything she was supposed to in order to take this test. Plus, she woke him up 45 minutes prior to needing to be there - no advance notice. He's pretty hot. So - back to the password issue. She has no chance to himmhaww around cuz her Dad is angry and when he asks for the passwords she has to give it up. Out it comes and it is a doozy....password: myassisonfire7. He goes, "Hell, I'll never get to Burnet, Tx....I have someone in my truck who's ass is on fire." Having raised two girls, DH & I find a lot of humor in Marc's daughter shocking him like this. We razzed him all weekend.

Oh - the picture? I am probably 1/2 way on Margot's baby blanket. I updated the progress bar to 45% cuz that is what this pic represents but I plugged away on it last night while watching The Punisher.

Kitty Update: She slept in the garage last night and is outside today. I let her run loose Saturday night and all day Sunday. She received her warning and I hope she learned her lesson.

This pic does the afghan *zero* justice - it actually looks cute with the blue. For my project binder pictures I plan on taking an outside pic of it in hopes of getting proof it turned out cute. I ended up having to make the center two trimmed in blue since I didn't end up with enough "bikini." I even dug around for scraps. No such luck.

Yum, Yum - bought and baked a Marie Calendar's Razzleberry Pie. DH loved it and had 2 pieces = we ate half the pie last night.

So, I finished all the squares except the very last row of 3 1/4 squares ~ as you see in the pic. See Queen Sheeba resting in the background between the TV trays? Healing but I think this is more a picture of how spoiled she really is. Anyway - the first kit (Paige's identical Bubblegum afghan)shorted me too and I had to snake out of this kit. I'm gonna have to hit Hobby Lobby or Wallie World today in hopes of finding another skein of "bikini" in order to finish these squares and then zip them together and do a row of single crochet edging. Almost finished!

I have 11" on the Margot baby afghan - almost finished with the first skein. Sure isn't going to use up much of the stash but may a little more than 3 skeins. Still enjoying the pattern.

Hitting the doctor this morning to see why I can't get rid of this chest congestion. I'm tired of it so I'll pony up and pay my $25 co-pay to get some drugs to knock it out.
