I have a few other things that I need to get done, but I’m setting those aside for right now and knitting a little something for myself ;-)

All this just to get ready for Christmas. I love making things for the people I love.

We believe it had something to do with the chili we had for dinner. Even after a full day of sleep, some crackers, and water we still aren’t 100%. Darryl went back to work this morning and I felt so sorry for him. I’m on vacation so I can stay home and rest, and even though it’s not to busy at work it’s still not home. I just hoping we’re okay by the Thursday. I would hate to miss thanksgiving!

Darryl and I always have a blast working together, and the time seems to fly by. He does all the heavy lifting and I do all the raking. We make a perfect team.  Plus it feels so good to come in to a warm house and set down after you’ve done a little manual labor. hehehe

Hope everyone had a good productive weekend like we did!

Nothing has changed much… I’m mostly working (all the time), and in between I’m trying to knit.  I’ll try to give you a quick run down of what’s been going on.. here go’s. So I finished my first sweater,  made a cardigan, currently working on my second sweater along with other miscellaneous things.  Darryl has been cooking a lot (mostly Chinese food *yummy*). We’ve got our new AC unit installed along with a new “high tech” control panel (it scares me). Darryl just bought a snow blower  (is new big boy toy). I’ve been harvesting all the black walnuts I can steal from the squirrels, we received a whole bunch of green tomatoes from a lady that Darryl works with, and a half a bushel of apples from out neighbors. Lucas and Lily are working out great! We’ve really been enjoying the cool walks and the shorter days. I finally  finished Darryl’s fish shorts!!! We have our 11th year anniversary coming up and we’ve decided to take the entire week off.  I can’t wait to have some time with Darryl!

My new position isn’t hard, and I know I can handle the work! It just days like this often make me wonder if I’m truly cut out for the corporate world

I’m not thrilled with the yarn, but it’s a trial pair. I prefer to knit the first run with yarn I’m not so in love with…that way  don’t have to worry if I’m not in love with them once they’re done.
