Happy Birthday Mr. Brown!!

Sadly I have to be at work all day while you and Gabby celebrate at home but have I got a surprise for you on my way home tonight!!

Mr. Brown & Gabby's 3rd and 1st birthday party. From left to right: Gabby, Lucy, Sable, Mr. Brown, and Nellie
 Hard to believe that he is 9 years old. He was just shy of 2 when we adopted him. He's probably the quirkiest boxer I've met so far. He loves to lay in the sun till he's hot as anything, he likes a spoonfull of fresh brewed coffee every once in a while in his dish. He'll knock you down for a chocolate chip cookie, and if cake is in the vicinity well you better wrap barbed wire around it because he LOVES cake. He drools the minute you start peeling a satsuma around Christmas and he's been known to eat tomatoes right off the vine. Recently he has adopted my green chair in the living room as his, which is fine, our first boxer did that as well when was older so I guess it's fair.............He makes me happy, he makes me laugh, when I do yoga at home he'll sit on the end of my mat and watch me, when I do lunge squats he hops along beside me, and best of all if you ask nicely he'll kiss the tip of your nose...............he also knows how to eat off a fork, a trick D wishes I never would have taught him but that can't be changed now.

Happy Birthday Mr. Quintus Brown
A McDonalds Cheeseburger is in your future today :)

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
